Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three or more times is enemy action. Well I don't believe in coincidence and at this point it no longer matters. Yesterday another elderly woman came forward saying she received the same type of treatment as the 85 year old grandmother. Ruth Sherman, 88, of Sunrise, Fla., told WCBS television ( http://cbsloc.al/sD3xsS ) that agents were suspicious about her colostomy bag and asked her to pull down the waist of her pants so they could see it on Nov. 28. So that's twice. Today a third woman has come forward describing the same type of treatment, this time over a glucose monitor. Kallish's troubles began because of the glucose monitor and insulin pump she wears because of her diabetes. After she set off the metal detector she was sent to a private room and, she says, told to take her pants off. She says the officer didn't touch her. "So I took my pants off and showed [the glucose monitor] to her," Kallish said. "She just looked at it and said, 'Have a nice trip.'" That's three. The TSA claimed on Friday that strip searches as the above are not procedure. However in all three instances there was an underlying medical condition that the officers exploited to abuse their power. At what point do people finally say enough is enough. How much abuse do the public have to take before someone finally wises up that while the TSA may claim that something is not policy or procedure doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. TSA agents don't follow normal policy or procedures regarding the use of equipment that make use of radio active equipment, why does anyone think they would magically follow their own rule book? This is like playing Monopoly with a kid who is making up his own rules and constantly changing them. Except this kid can throw you in jail when you point out he's breaking the rules. How do you deal with a spoiled brat who harasses and intimidates anyone who dares challenge their Authoritah. Not to mention when you tell their parents about their kids misbehaving they just pat them on the back and say stop that. Even when one of the parents is hassled. My father-in-law was told not only to remove his prosthetic leg, but they wanted him to disassemble it. There's no cosmesis, and the leg requires special tools to assemble and disassemble. If you've ever seen a bare prosthetic there is no room to put anything in it. The TSA claims that type of behavior would never happen yet it does. This is what happens when you create a job program for the lowest common denominator who cant even graduate high school and give them more power than they know what to do with. Then the parent who gave them that power says that there's no accountability. Continue reading →
