Video Of A SIX YEAR OLD GIRLS TSA Groping. Really? WTF?

[twyacht]

I'll bet they'll drive the 8 hours next time,....oh wait,...gas prices make it about even...

Who The (insert expletive, rhymes with duck) is the brains behind this B.S.?

    The young girl, who is with her mother in the video, does not make any comment while she’s being patted down. An onlooker videotaped the encounter.

    “You can’t just re-scan her?” the girl’s mother asks. The TSA agent says no.

    The agent tells the girl what she’s doing, including saying she‘s touching the girl’s “sensitive area with the back of my hand.”

    Near the end of the minute-and-a-half video, a woman is heard saying: “They’re doing the drug test on her, the whatever test … on a six-year-old.”

    “Yeah. it’s their job,” a man replies.

I am glad my son is older....If it was my daughter, at that age, I would be calling for bail money...This is B.S.

Glad I have son's.

If it were my daughter, I'd be with you in the graybar hotel.......'cause the TSA goon would be in the emergency room.....while somewhere, baby seals would be cringing.

I was pretty disgusted at this video myself.  How many 6 year old terrorists have you ever heard of before?  Zero.  This is where profiling needs to be in place.  Not a lot of "PC" people would agree with that statement, but for Pete's sake.  I would have missed my flight for sure, I'd probably be stuck in a room at the airport, awaiting Eric "My People" Holder to show up, so he could press charges of serious bodily harm to a TSA agent.  If she already went through the body scanner, then she should be good to go.  I bet that kid will never want to fly again.  We need to be a proactive society, instead of a reactive society.

I bet they would have let that little girl go without so much as a second glance if she'd been wearing a head scarf.

I really don't understand these body scanners.  In my limited flying experience, I've been through 3 metal detectors and 1 scanner.  I had no problem going through the metal detectors; I got patted down after going through the scanner.  You have to remove everything, paper and all to go through the scanner and they still check you after you go through.  Seems like they check everyone that goes through it.  What's the point in having it?  Fix it to where you can tell what's what or don't use it.

Personally, I think if you're crazy enough to blow up an airplane with you in it you're crazy enough to strap a bomb to a kid.  But, if that child has been through the scanner and the only reason the parents are pissed off is because you're groping their child, then they obviously aren't hiding anything.  These people are ridiculous.

I have a friend, late twenties pretty girl, that recently mentioned the TSA being extra gropey after going through a scanner.  That's bad enough, but a girl as young as the one in the video. 

I definitely agree with profiling.  Most stereotypes are based off of at least some truth.

I have been through the scanner just once, and I fly a few times a year.  Most of the time, it's just a trip through the metal detector and then i get to put my boots, belt, and hat back on and be on my way. I havent been groped yet but,  I was thinking of making a t-shirt that says.. TSA:  If we did our job any better, we'd have to buy you dinner..

This whole thing is a security façade.

I recently chaperoned a trip to D.C. While there, several of the kids bought switchblade combs. About half of them got through TSA checkpoints with them, and a few had there taken. Being my mild-mannered and polite self, I informed the TSA workers and mentioned they had let several of these through yet confiscated some—which is simply not fair.

The result, they handed me the confiscated items to return to the kids when they get off the plane.

This was leaving out nation's capitol in presumably one of the most secure airports in the world.

I know what my 5yo would of done




we were at a restrant and she needed to go to the toilet   as we know the place well and most of the staff  she went on her own ( we could see anyone that went in or out  and she went to the disabled toilet where there is only 1 in there )  before she went she said she would scream out if anyone tried anything  and she said if they touch me can I hurt them   


funny thing though   she was taking a bit of time so the Mrs went to check on her  and when she knocked on the door I could hear her scream  WHO IS IT  from the other side  of the place.   

got to love the little Rangger

Exactly we drum in to our kids stranger danger and not to let strangers touch you etc and then we have to say hey but its ok if these people in unifrom touch in "sensitive" areas WTF. I think a few of these TSA types need to be followed home and introduced to a tyre iron in their sensative areas!
