Could this end up being yet another TSA PR nightmare? Jean Weber was traveling with her ill mother on June 18 from Florida to Michigan to see relatives "in the final stages of her battle with leukemia" when the incident occurred. Weber told CNN that while she thinks the officers may have been "procedurally correct...the procedure needs to be changed." Weber noted that her mother had had a blood transfusion the week before. [B]A Suspiciously "Wet and Firm" Diaper[/B] While passing through security, TSA officials "felt something suspicious and they couldn't determine what it was," so they took Weber's mother to a private room. A TSA agent told Weber that her mother's Depends underwear was "wet and firm and they couldn't check it thoroughly," so the mother-daughter duo left in search of a bathroom to remove the underwear. Weber did not have an extra pair of Depends with her. Weber "burst into tears" but her mother was "very calm" even though she was forced to go through the airport without underwear. Her elderly mother was taken to the boarding gate without her as Weber was still going through security. [B]TSA Defends Search[/B] In response to the incident, the TSA said on Sunday that "While every person and item must be screened before entering the secure boarding area, TSA works with passengers to resolve security alarms in a respectful and sensitive manner. We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure." This isn't the first time the TSA has gotten into hot water over pat down procedures. In April, a video of a [URL="http://news.travel.aol.com/2011/04/13/tsa-gives-pat-down-to-six-year-old-girl-in-new-orleans/"]6-year-old getting a pat down[/URL] at the New Orleans airport went viral, while in May, a video of a [URL="http://news.travel.aol.com/2011/05/11/baby-receives-pat-down-at-kansas-city-airport-video/"]baby getting a pat down[/URL] caused quite a stir. Last week, the TSA announced they would change the [URL="http://news.travel.aol.com/2011/06/22/tsa-modifying-pat-downs-for-children-poll/"]procedures for patting down children[/URL][/quote]"Suspiciously wet and firm" Who knows even old ladies can be terrorists.

Wow, fucking REALLY?
Because anybody can be a terrorist. Even if they are bound by a wheelchair...or have to wear a diaper at the age of 95...or being white.
Fuck the TSA.

[QUOTE=DrBreen;30739853]lol fuck america[/QUOTE] Stop hurting my feelings, Portugal. :frown:
Having to wear diapers is already embarrassing enough without this sort of shit.
[QUOTE=DrBreen;30739982]most of the people aren't, but you never hear shit like this from europe, or even china disgusting[/QUOTE] No, in China you hear about the government violently shutting down peaceful protests and massive areas of the country living in pollution and poverty. In Europe, you here about people who get prison sentences for defending themselves in their own homes. In short, be quiet because you have no idea what you are talking about.
[QUOTE=Squarebob;30740188]We aren't any better, I'm pretty sure we just got a fuckton of dosh from China and we've been in a depression these last few years.[/QUOTE] No we're not! Our Congress Alchemists are procuring cash from nothing.

[QUOTE=DrBreen;30739982]most of the people aren't, but you never hear shit like this from europe, or even china disgusting[/QUOTE] You don't hear shit like this from China because it's usually overshadowed by their real crimes against humanity, like the mass detention of political dissidents, or continued massacre of Tibetans.

TSA gropes old lady terrorist! She calls injustice, they call bullshit! Take that Osama!! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
You understand that they really shouldn't just let her by because she's an old lady, right? If they let her by because she's an old white lady, that effectively enforces them into a mindset where they can target people based on race and age. Which they shouldn't do.
