MSNBC reports that TSA goons once again embarrass a traveler. Their clumsiness and lack of care seems to constantly result in the theft of one person or another’s dignity. It is sick and wrong. These people are out of control, unaccountable and must be put of their jobs wholesale.
A retired special education teacher on his way to a wedding in Orlando, Fla., said he was left humiliated, crying and covered with his own urine after an enhanced pat-down by TSA officers recently at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
“I was absolutely humiliated, I couldn’t even speak,” said Thomas D. “Tom” Sawyer, 61, of Lansing, Mich.
Sawyer is a bladder cancer survivor who now wears a urostomy bag, which collects his urine from a stoma, or opening in his abdomen. “I have to wear special clothes and in order to mount the bag I have to seal a wafer to my stomach and then attach the bag. If the seal is broken, urine can leak all over my body and clothes.”
On Nov. 7, Sawyer said he went through the security scanner at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. “Evidently the scanner picked up on my urostomy bag, because I was chosen for a pat-down procedure.”
Due to his medical condition, Sawyer asked to be screened in private. “One officer looked at another, rolled his eyes and said that they really didn’t have any place to take me,” said Sawyer. “After I said again that I’d like privacy, they took me to an office.”

This is awful. Absolutely disgusting. I thought I couldn’t hate the new TSA screenings any more than I already did, but the security agents’ callous disregard for Sawyer’s medical condition really drives home the reality of how horrifically draconian these so-called “security” measures have become.
The disabled will once again be made to feel bad …over and over again. It never ends.
Sarah they will end up being euthanized for the good of the country and the volk.
If you really want to jam things up just pack a jar of peanut butter in you check and carry on luggage. Every jar will have to be checked by security. You will have the tsa people running around with their heads cut off!
