Woman (Rape Survivor) w/Pacemaker Arrested after refusing "Enhanced" Pat-Down from TSA

I'm sorry to see this happening--

She should just consider herself collateral damage in the war on terror. After all, she probably voted for either McCain or Obama and welcomed the additional safety brought to her by the police state.
It's inevitable that such random incidents invoving patriotic citizens like her will continue, but since they serve the interests of national security, victims such as she ought to be proud of their sacrifices for their nation.
Perhaps the congress could create a civilian version of the military's Purple Heart "Award" to recognize such innocent casualties so they feel more like team players in the war. This way being raped by your own government for a worthy cause may not feel quite so bad.

What country is this?

to pass Dr. Paul's legislation regarding TSA. I think TSA should be shut down by the government before the people do it first.

if the airlines have a choice of wether to use TSA or not, doesn't that mean that Airlines are responsible for violations made by their security firm of choice? I wonder if people should be filing lawsuits against the Airlines for what the TSA have been doing. Afterall, it is the security they chose to use, as it is my understanding they can opt out.
So, the airlines ARE responsible. Seems to me that if the Airline companies themselves where hit with tons of lawsuits then they might reconsider their choice and method of screeners and screening.

its a shame that this is happening in america of all places. i mean this isn't a police state is it? because putting a rape victim through this smacks of a complete lack of respect for the citizens of this once great nation.

here's an idea.. since air travel is run by independent companies, why not make it there responsibility to safeguard us on there means of transport without infringing on our persons or rights? how about installing a zero tolerance policy for airlines that have terror or safety standards events, banning them from operating until they are proven to have taken proper steps to do so?

why am i paying taxes to save an independent company money on safety precautions, when i dont even fly?

I hope this is a wake up call those who have doubted that our nation is becoming nothing more than a glorified prison.

This angers me so much to see police and government abuses and in the meanwhile I see the majority of our fellow citizens still living in denial or blissful ignorance. The majority of American people, in a state of cognitive dissonance, happily chant USA! USA! USA! while their freedoms are stripped away.

Down with TSA!

working for the TSA. "The law is the law" so sayeth the reporter man. REALLY?!?!?!? The law is getting felt up by 350 pound lesbian troll bull dykes and 450 pound lard-ass beady-eyed pervert men!?!?!?!? Then the dumb blond gets on and says "well we have to do it for security, it makes me feel safer". Really lady?!?!? You feel safer now because some fat guy got to look at your hoo-hoo!?!?!? Somebody please remove from this parallel bizarro universe that I'm living in...I can't take it anymore these people are hopeless robot/sheep/idiots....

She knew the metal detector would be activated. Therefore, she had better have been prepared to follow through with her protest.

She was charged with a criminal trespass class-C misdemeanor and told she was banned from the airport for up to 1-year.

is blasting people with radiation, touching their "junk", then assaulting and battering them if they decline.

Don't you feel safer?

Next up: "That pacemaker could contain a bomb! TSA Agent Doofy, scalpel!"

the ACLU looking for these type of cases? If so, I hope she contacts them...
Anything else I'd like to say right now would be against the DP rules...

I live in Austin, that's my airport. I suppose it was only a matter of time. I won't be flying until February-ish, what are the odds that this whole process gets tossed out by then?

Yeah, thought so. Civil disobedience it is.

"The TSA says less than three percent of travelers get a pat-down."
Gee, can't imagine WHY??

The terrorists have definitely won.

America has been converted to the Dark Side.

Good job, boyz!
