Young Boy Strip Searched by TSA
 

There's been a lot of talk going on lately about the TSA searches saying they purposefully are making it humiliating

with things like yelling out to the crowd to let ppl know this guy is going to get strip searched

or purposefully choosing hot girls for strip searches instead of the xray to be handled by male officers instead of women

speaking rudely to the person when he'd rather get searched than xrayd

etc etc etc

as for children getting xrayd even such a low dose of radiation causes harm to children (they're higher risk due to more cells dividing)


and 1in20 people is especially sensitive to xray exposure giving them higher risks in getting cancer etc etc

The guy who wrote the guidelines for airport xray safety/use said he wouldn't have signed off on airport xrays if he knew it was the TSA's plan to scan 2out of 3 passengers by the end of 2011

etc etc lots of debate


edit: forgot, scientists at UC, Columbia etc etc & the guy in charge of writing the guidelines says that the head and neck should be avoided from being scanned (due to the risk of Basel Cell Carcinoma) but the TSA says adjusting the height of the scanner for each person isn't conceivable due to time constraints (i guess a platform/stool is out of the question)

few other Radiology scientists etc say theres too much of a risk to chromosome mutations etc and sperm/breast tissue damage etc (but not all agree)

Seem's like it's starting to happen in Canada to.

I don't really have nice things to say about airport security most of the time. My 3 month old baby girl was patted down by security before too. My wife was not happy about that.

Hire some Catholic priests........... best there is.

if they were gonna strip search me and try to humiliate me by yelling shit i'd just stip down to nothing and stand there like wtf u gonna do now? lol

probably wouldnt go over so well

The father was the one to take off the kids shirt and he was OK with it.
Glen Beck is an idiot and a liar. If you don't want to get searched don't fly or get your own plane.

If you choose to fly, then comply to the rules.

People complain about tight security, but cry even louder when there's plane attacks. Policies never make anyone happy.

seems like everybody needs a reminder every now and then as to why we have such security screening.

you'd think bomb sniffing dogs, luggage x-rays, metal detectors, and armed sky marshals would be enough though.

i mean, really dedicated terrorists have ways and means to get things on board the plane. anal cavity searches? vaginal cavity searches?

What did Glen Beck lie about?

Did you read the link in the original post? The little boy was Autistic, he didn't set off the metal detector, and the only reason that the TSA gave for searching him was he was wearing a baggy shirt. The father took off the search cause the TSA officers won't happy with how the boy wasn't compiling to their commands.

Enough with this non story that's been on the news 24/7. I travel back and fourth from the US quite a bit and I should be the easiest person to profile when I'm standing in line for screening because I'm East Indian but I have never had extra screening done, hell most of the TSA agents i've encountered are very polite and doing their jobs well.

Sure there might be a small percentage of people who have to get the secondary screening done and it's unjust but most of the the idiots that usually get pulled for the secondary screening are the ones that leave their belts on, their biker boots with shitload of buckles going all over the place or other metal objects which they forget to remove after been told numerous times by TSA agents and not reading signs posted everywhere before heading into the x-ray area. Like seriously, how many times does a TSA agent have to tell you to REMOVE everything and anything that is metal? Don't bitch and complain when you get pulled over for a secondary screening because you're too stupid to read and listen.

Nice!

i imagine there are easier ways for them to get to their goal


like that radio controlled Jet someone posted in the HDPro camera thread

or some sort of launcher by the runways during take off or something


im probably going to get investigated now cuz i posted that :rofl:

i suppose. quoting you for evidence. ;)

Ignatieff doesn’t mind his junk touched

The Liberal Leader doesn’t mind airport officials patting him down.

“I have people touching my private parts all day long,” Michael Ignatieff said Wednesday in the foyer of the House of Commons.

He was responding to questions from reporters about the government’s decision to place privacy dividers or stalls in the security lanes at Canada’s major airports in hopes of avoiding a backlash over the invasive searches of passengers.

“That’s what we have to do to keep us safe,” Mr. Ignatieff said. “... I have long ceased worrying about these issues. We have to keep this country safe and the people I feel strongly in support of are the hard-working security scanners. It’s not a great job. It’s tough. You’re wearing rubber gloves all day long.”

Noting he spends his life in airports, the Liberal Leader said he has run the full gamut of security checks – including the body scanner.[/QUOTE]

Glen Beck is a lair and a cry baby in general. Notice all the people complaining are white. If the guy complaining was dark skinned and a Muslim people would call him a terrorist.

Ever heard of DWB? It stands for driving while black. Black people get pulled over more often then than white people by police for no reason. But no one like Glen Beck gives a shit.

I go threw secondary screening almost every time and it's not a big deal.

yeah.... im sure one of the top politicians of Canada really gets searched or "molested" as its being called now ;)


what would make his remarks gold is if there's a sex scandal involving him soon that quote would haunt him


:D

because terrorism only happens on planes

"sssooo.. you do cavity searches for free?"

going by the same logic:

airport security happens because the country cares about a few hundred people.


ahh no. they airline is probably concerned with their $300 million dollar boeing 747, and could be liable for all the damages from a potential terrorist strike (by not taking enough effort to prevent terrorists from taking over). if liable, and 1 life is worth $2m to the victims family, then the 400 passenger and crew plane is worth $800m in paying out the victims families alone. that would bring the total upwards of..

one BILLION dollars...!



and so, the costs of airport security are split between a bunch of different airlines, and national defense chips in too, and theres international regulations to ensure a consistent level of security quality throughout the world.

isnt there a private room to take this into... fucking retarded TSA

Terrorists Win.

Thanks. It was a real questions I didn't know who Glen Beck was. I just don't like how they got to pat down kids...I couldn't get my Son's Ultra Sound picture because he was laying a certain way showing his junk. But some random guy gets to see my kids private parts through a x-ray machine that may or may not hurt them. But that is better then having some middle man touch him I guess. Where do we draw the common sense line in society? Are they going to start to install X-ray machines at all public transit station next? should everyone that take public transit get pat down or x-rayed? I'm sure more people use public transit more then people fly each day.


Going through secondary screening by yourself is one thing. Getting your jock grabbed then worrying that you kids are about to get violated are another thing. I would rather get rape twice for my kids then watch them get raped even once. It's just my parental instinct.
