Denver Woman Not Allowed to Fly Because There Was No Female TSA Agent to Pat Her Down

Jennifer Winning Not Allowed to Fly: Now Female TSA Agent to Give Pat Down

When Jennifer Winning arrived at the small airport in Rock Spring, Wyoming, she didn‘t expect she’d be turned away. But that’s exactly what happened earlier this moth. And if that wasn’t frustrating enough, it’s the reason why that really has her scratching her head: there wasn’t a female TSA on duty to giver her an enhanced pat down.

“They asked if I was on the flight to Denver, I said yes, they said that they couldn`t screen me because they sent all the female TSA agents home,” Winning told KDVR-TV.

Jennifer Winning Not Allowed to Fly: Now Female TSA Agent to Give Pat Down

She said she even offered to sign a waiver allowing a male agent to pat her down, but the TSA declined.

That left her asking the question many more are echoing: “If you can’t clear it without a female, why would you send them home?”

The TSA, however, is blaming the airline and Winning. It claims the airline wasn’t supposed to accept any more passengers, and it was Winning, not the TSA, that eventually turned her away.

Here’s its statement to KDVR:

“In small airports, TSA works closely with the airlines and airport to keep the security checkpoints open to ensure that all passengers are screened appropriately.

Once TSA is informed by the airline that our screening services are no longer needed, the security checkpoint is closed. In this instance, SkyWest made final boarding announcements and notified TSA that no additional passengers would be accepted.

In addition, a TSA officer also made two public announcements asking any remaining passengers to report to the security checkpoint for screening.

After both the flight and checkpoint were closed, a female passenger requested screening. While there were no female officers present at the time, ultimately the passenger was not screened by TSA because the airline was no longer accepting passengers for the flight.”

    Opinion: what this make clear is that the guvnm is active blocking and controlling with check points internally in the US to all US citizens even between places within the US thus we are ALL stripped of our freedom of travel! She was guilty until proven ok to travel as are all of US! They control grope US at our airport this way refusing US to travel but ignore and leave open wide our boarders! Tyrants want external threats producing fear so citizen ignore their gab of police state control! Her being turn away was about control not about terrorism security which has gone down to crazy calling muslam family sick honor murders some how called national terrorism, that none of these measures effect; Wake-up This is tyranny police state-ism period! As is the making of hundreds of regulation / laws controlling micromanaging our lives all without and outside of vote or representative legislators!

    Hey @LIBERALSLAYER – the TSA doesn’t grope you. Groping requires sexual intent. I assure you that, despite a few bad apples, the military veterans, moms and dads, grandparents, and other ordinary people just like you who make up the TSA have no such intent. Your choice of words is inflammatory and inaccurate. Also, TSA agents don’t wear brown shirts and do not resemble the Gestapo in any way. Go ask someone who actually knows what the Gestapo really did, someone who’s loved one was murdered or tortured or raped by that group of people or others like it, and see how much sympathy they have for you because you have to take your entitled shoes off and get a pat down from time to time. Gestapo. Another example of your ignorance and inflammatory language. Finally, the TSA is not unconstitutional. The U.S. Constitution tasks the federal government to provide for the common defense. This includes the defense of innocent people like you from people who like to blow things up because they hate the shining city on a hill. As a result, the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security was created along with the TSA, authorized by 49 CFR 44901 and 44903, which was enacted into law by elected officials of our glorious constitutional republic, pursuant to the U.S. Constitution. The 4th Amendment protects us from UNREASONABLE search and seizure. Preventing all of your body parts from being scattered by an explosion seems fairly reasonable. More specifically, the administrative search

      exception to the 4th amendment has provided your constitutional elected officials with the ability to authorize the TSA to conduct searches in light of the aforementioned desire of criminals to kill you in order to make a political statement. Let’s review: TSA agents have no desire to grope anyone, especially children; it does not murder, torture, or rape people; and is entirely constitutional.

      It is an unreasonable search because they have no indication or probable cause that you are attempting to commit a crime. The amount of intrusion is not justified by the statistical chances of said bomb. The TSA has not stopped any actual terrorists with these methods and in fact have let multiple person through with explosives and guns. Any ex military working for the TSA is a traitor to the country and violator of the oath they swore when they enlisted.

      If you would take some time to research the 4th amendment before you make comments that have no factual value, you would know that administrative searches do not require probable cause. To pass constitutional muster, the administrative search must be: “conducted in good faith;” “as limited in its intrusiveness as is consistent with satisfaction of the administrative need that justifies it;“ and ”passengers must have notice of their susceptibility to the search.” Let’s address each of these areas.  First, the search must be conducted in good faith. No person in their right mind believes that the TSA conducts the searches pursuant to some sort of evil intention or for any reason other than to ensure the safety of human beings on the airplane. If you disagree, then your reasoning skills have been overridden by your anger that someone once took your bottle of pepsi away. Second, in regard to intrusiveness consistent with the threat: I am a TSA official in a position that requires a hefty security clearance. I look at intelligence reports each day and am terrified by how real and close the threats are. Anyone with the right information has concluded that the intrusiveness is justified by the threat. This includes your elected representatives and the courts (The Supreme Court has on many occasions upheld that the TSA is acting constitutionally).  Third, everybody knows that they will be searched at a TSA checkpoint. The TSA hasn’t stopped any actual terrorists because

      When I was a federal employee and my wife was one as well, our entire family would get sent to secondary screening every time we flew. I would routinely see groups of Muslims wearing their garb and they never went to secondary. Once i was on official business and missed the early flight out. I waited 8 hours in the airport and watched the TSA. Once again no Muslims were sent to secondary. I am convinced that the screen us because they knew we were govt employees and thought it would make a good dog and pony show. I had one agent tell me if I didn’t like it I should walk home. Now I don’t fly, at all.
      The TSA should be disbanded. Work should be done by Government employees only in instances in which the work is inherently governmental in its nature, the government has a vested interest ( monitoring govt contractors, cant have the fox watching the hen house) or involves secure information.
      Security checkpoints would be best served by contractors. Contractors could then be sued if they show a pattern of sexual abuse or of slacking off on the job. Airlines are the least likely to allow another hijacking because it would kill their companies image and income.

    I don’t fly frequently, but did so in December,’11 and January,’12. We were told to be at the airport two hours in advance, and heeded this instruction both times. Went through screening more than an hour in advance of departure; encountering no problems. Absent some extraordinary delay between arrival and check in, the lady in this story had to have been late. Maybe because she had pushed her arrival on prior occasions without problems, she decided to do so this time. Too bad for her. TSA’s fault–NOT!

      As long as she had a chance to get on the flight, there is no excuse to not allow her such a chance.
      To say that the constitution does note how you can travel is another way of giving the government the excuse to control such. If what you note is true, the government has the right at any time to say you cannot travel by car when they want, by bus when they want, by train when they want, by walking when they want.
      ALL most all those means are by privately controlled businesses that are now bottlenecked by government control. There are talks of doing these inspections at train and bus terminals by the way.
      Again, when the government takes control of such, they can take such away from the people. As Franklin noted: “Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.”
      Or to put in clearly: “People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.”

Right or wrong in your opinion, it says what it says, and there was no denial of a constitutional right here. Having said that, maybe the woman deserves an apology from the airline for closing out the flight early, or maybe she should have arrived on time. Apology, maybe.

      As for your comment on the constitution, please show me the language that gives the president the right to dictate how the TSA should work, or for that matter the law that states the government has the right to restrict travel in such a manner. When a bill was presented to congress that required congress to provide proof each law was constitutional before being passed it received one vote.
      The fact of the matter is that both conservatives and liberals are taking away our rights presented by the constitution and the majority are too busy trying to just survive to fight it. More over many feel their votes just don’t count because both political parties ignore the constitution.

Seems like an easy process in comparison to the process for passengers. Look – the enemy has specifically expressed interest in exploiting the vulnerabilities associated with pilot screening. I’m sorry that you feel like you go through “heck,” but that is how this ridiculous game works. The enemy has all the time in the world to find vulnerabilities, we try to mitigate them as best we can. As technology improves and credentials become more secure (more difficult to exploit or counterfit) I’m sure that pilot screening will get easier. In the meantime, a little bit of support would be appreciated.

I told her that I couldn’t fly out of our local airport, because I couldn’t comply with the TSA regulations. We thought about me taking a bus out there instead, but I couldn’t find the time to go out there. She ended up having to drive by herself instead.

    So the real story here is that she showed up late, well after the final boarding and even after the flight and checkpoint were closed. TSA had been excused from the location due to the final boarding announcements. And still this woman shows up and insists on being let on the plane.

    Hey Blaze, why give this moron any more publicity than she has. She didn’t give a crap about the other passengers she was inconveniencing with her lateness, so why should we care about her inability to board a plane late?

      uh…the plane could have/would have taken off on schedule, toots…. what’s your deal? I don’t know of any airline that would HOLD a plane UNLESS it was a CONNECTING flight and it was THEIR fault the connecting flight was late.

      YOUR “STORY” stinks as badly as TSA

      @Patty – she arrived late. So late that the airport had sent the TSA agents away. This was a small airport where things happen a little differently than your larger airports. You can defend this moron all you like, but the facts suggest she was late and caused her own grief. No sympathy from me.

      As an aside, your “toots” reference surprises me as I did not think gay men posted on this site.

      @BADDOGGY – Yes, she’s defending the TSA, and rightly so. The airline assured the TSA that no more passengers were coming, so the checkpoint closed and people went home to their families after a long day of putting up with abuse from people like you in service to their country. It’s that simple. I bet this story is very disappointing for those of you who think that TSA agents are just standing around salivating at the thought of getting their hands on you for a pat down. If this is true, I wonder why they turned her away?

      But, if there was no TSA, she would have been on the flight.

      BS Saranda,
      This is an airport that you can park for free and walk less than 200 feet to the front door and she was 35 minutes early for a flight of less than 30 people.

      @KevINtampa—-You asked this”If God is all powerful, could he make a box so big and so heavy that even he couldn’t lift it?”.——— I once asked this question to Barry Mcquire(Eve of Destruction fame). His answer was “Yes ”God gave mankind our own will, If we choose not to believe he won’t “force” us.Now you have a answer to a question that no doubt you use to try to trip up Believers. Try something new or less futile.

      Hey Patty – if the airline makes a FINAL BOARDING CALL and you aren’t already on the airplane, or at least at the gate, you are late. If you don’t even show up at the airport until after a final boarding call is made, you’re really late. Logic, use it sometime.

    The federal government created the unconstitutional TSA to grope us and our kids and violate our fourth amendment right.When if ever are we going to abolish this illegal department? The government has been chipping away at our liberty and freedoms for over a century and this brown shirt department is just another cog in the wheel and what’s even worse, the jackbooted thugs are now unionized.

      The government is never wrong, it’s the GOVERNMENT which is right by definition.

      You can’t have too oppressive of a government. Their cause is your cause. They fight for you. They are not newcomers to this. They’ve been in the trenches fighting for you before YOU fought for you.

      Sounds like Obama, don’t it?

    WHAT? Why did she require an enhanced pat down? Did she fail the Xray? The woman had a ticket for the flight and they announced FINAL boarding 35 minutes before the flight? Since when do they do that? I think the TSA was just covering it’s butt as usual,

      Sounds like she missed her check in time. In small airports once the counter closes there is no more check in. If she was checked in but not cleared thru security by the time the flight boarded and the flight closed, she’s still too late. Happens often.

      Airport likely did not have one of those “see you naked” machines. A plain old metal detector no longer suffices for the grope and grab group we are paying to do this to our citizens.

      Refuse to fly! Hit the airlines in the pocket and force a change to profiling like Israel does.

      TSA is an expensive, nonfunctional bad joke.
