Re: “KCI TSA was out of line with public pat-down of breast-cancer survivor”
As usual TSA will lie to cover its abuses and incompetence. This is the same they said after strip searching Ruth Sherman and Lenore Zimmerman at JFK in November. They later retracted the statement and apologized.
They also denied that a screener punched Representative Canseco of Texas in the privates until the video was released proving that they did punch him. Nonetheless, the screener was not fired nor any procedures changed even after assaulting a sitting Congressman.
This woman had a right to a private screening and was denied that option. Clearly TSA failed and humiliated a dying for no justifiable reason. These imbeciles also endangered her life by rupturing her saline bag and the screeners responsible should be fired and prosecuted.
TSA has become a haven for misfits who take enjoy harassing and abusing passengers that they perceive as being privileged elitists who need to be taught a lesson. TSA can’t retain anyone normal to do this disgusting job and the endless turnover results in poorly trained, unprofessional mall cops screening passengers.
TSA Deputy Director John Halinski said in testimony to Congress in August that TSA receives over 700,000 traveler comments a year, 60,000 of which they classify as complaints.
Congress and the public think that most of 700,000 are complaints but even this low ball number is still amounts to 5,000 complaints a month and those are just the ones that get reported. Countless other incidents are not reported because of passenger fear of retaliation or are “lost” by TSA.
There were 101 TSA workers arrested in the last 22 months including 13 arrested for child sex crimes, 28for theft, 12 for smuggling contraband through security and one for murder.
TSA even allows a known pedophile, Thomas Harkins to remain employed as a TSA Supervisor in Philadelphia giving him authority to search children.
What kind of agency turns a known sex offender loose on children? The same kind of demented agency that harasses and humiliates a dying woman.
America cannot afford $70 billion over ten years to fund an agency made up of uneducated bullies with two page rap sheets. TSA needs to be replaced with something that actually works and the TSA management responsible for this mess prosecuted for malfeasance.
