Women Arrested For Refusing TSA Search of Children

Posted by samzenpus on from the tiniest-terrorist dept.

CelticWhisper writes "A Tennessee mother was arrested for refusing to allow TSA screening clerks to subject her child to a body scan or patdown. This comes in the wake of a promise by the TSA Administrator to make repeated attempts at non-physical screening of children, after which another video of a child patdown surfaced. This event may signify a tipping point in the public's willingness to tolerate invasive and inappropriate security procedures at airports."

    Are you implying that these people go to the airport NOT expecting to be scanned or searched? This is hardly the same as walking up to a stranger on the street and they randomly grope you. They go to the airport, stand in line watching the hundreds before them go through the same process. You'd have to live under a rock as well as being blind to not know what was going to happen.
