Florida TSA incident – The Transportation Security Administration is standing behind its agents in Destin, Florida. Agents forced a cancer-stricken 95-year-old woman to take off her adult diaper after they patted her down at an airport security checkpoint, the woman's daughter, Jean Weber, told CNN. The TSA denies that the screeners required the elderly woman to remove a diaper and that they followed proper procedures. The incident follows the videotaped pat-down of a 6-year-old girl, a move which outraged some lawmakers and the public.It's hard to keep up with the almost daily barrage of news stories with 95 year old terminally ill cancer patients who are hijacking planes and crashing them into American cities while they hold the passengers powerless to act with the biological hazards hidden in their adult diapers...
Seriously though... Is there a single rational human being who thinks that this old lady represented any kind of security threat? This would be nothing more than a regrettable disrespect to a senior if only the TSA would have admitted their mistake, and taken steps to both discipline the microcephalic agent who chose to subject the poor woman to increased scrutiny, and to establish procedures so that this could never happen again.
But of course the TSA is a government agency, so this didn't happen. The TSA went on public record defending the actions, and there is no indication that the agent was even reprimanded.
How can a government that sees a 95 year old terminal cancer patient as a threat to national security be trusted to manage anything, let alone health care, social security, monetary policy, national defense or the national debt?
