‘Proper Procedure’: TSA Defends 95-Year-Old’s Diaper Pat-Down

The TSA is doubling down after it was revealed that screeners in Florida forced a 95-year-old lukemia patient to remove her adult diaper in order to complete a pat-down.
“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,” the agency said in a statement on Sunday. “We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure.”
“If this is your procedure — which I do understand — I also feel that your procedure needs to be changed,” Jean Weber, the daughter of the elderly woman who was traveling with her mother during the incident, told CNN:
Weber gave more details to CNN on how the pat-down occured:
While going through security, the 95-year-old was taken by a TSA officer into a glassed-in area, where a pat-down was performed, Weber said. An agent told Weber “they felt something suspicious on (her mother’s) leg and they couldn’t determine what it was” — leading them to take her into a private, closed room.
Soon after, Weber said, a TSA agent came out and told her that her mother’s Depend undergarment was “wet and it was firm, and they couldn’t check it thoroughly.” The mother and daughter left to find a bathroom, at the TSA officer’s request, to take off the adult diaper.
Weber said she burst into tears during the ordeal, forcing her own pat-down and other measures in accordance with TSA protocol. But she said her mother, a nurse for 65 years, “was very calm” despite being bothered by the fact that she had to go through the airport without underwear.
Eventually, Weber said she asked for her mother to be whisked away to the boarding gate without her, because their plane was scheduled to leave in two minutes and Weber was still going through security.

Posted on June 27, 2011 at 11:42amStories like this will continue until we stand up and demand that the TSA be disbanded and removed from our society. They will continue to violate our rights as Americans until we do something about it. The problem is, as usual, not enough people will stand together to see it through and see this group of thugs removed. Case in point…see IRS. Could have removed them 20, 30, 40 years ago, but apparently Americans are fine with being screwed by the Federal Mafia.

Posted on June 27, 2011 at 11:43amThe harm done is as follows:
#1) A direct violation of the 4th Amendment. There is no warrant signed by a judge detailing what you are suspected of doing and what is to be searched. If you cannot understand why this is so important then no further explanation will help.
#2) If a passenger appears to be a member of a group which has declared war on ALL non-believers then there is probable cause to search them. They CHOOSE to belong to a group of 7th century camel loving monkey boys worshiping a pedophile therefore they are a DECLARED enemy of civilization and should not be afforded the privileges of civilized society.
#3) Because we have citizens, who have no backbone, and simply are willing to give up the rights given by our creator to those who are FORBIDDEN by the Constitution to trample on those rights, we have lost the war on Is-Slime and they have won by destroying the very fabric of our way of life.

Posted on June 27, 2011 at 11:24amI don’t care how they defend it. I don’t care if they say that a terrorist could take advantage of the 95 year old woman and fill her chair with explosives. I have never seen a 95 year old white woman strapped with bombs trying to blow anyone up. It hasn’t happened to my knowledge, and my intuition says that it won’t ever happen. However, they have been known to load up their wives with explosives and send them to their death. I think we should only screen those who appear to be terroists and let everyone else carry weapons on the plane.
What they are doing is too ridiculous for me to stand. I will not fly until the TSA is shut down.

Posted on June 27, 2011 at 11:21amSo basically if she DID have a bomb in the Depends (no pun intended), the TSA, without identifying the mysterious “lump,” allowed her to take a time out from the grope, go to the bathroom, and remove the diaper and presumably the “lump?” Really?
Report Post »MidWestMom
Posted on June 27, 2011 at 12:07pmExactly. The TSA requested the daughter FIND a bathroom so the depend could be removed. They couldn’t provide a private area?? Of course not. Lets send Grandma & her explosives to the nearest public restroom so she can leave the “bomb” in the trash. THEN she could get on the plane.
Does this mean the safety of the airport and everyone in it is “not in their job description”?

there is no ‘just cause’ for these searches.. no american will, after 9/11, sit quiet in their chair if ANYONE attempts ANYTHING on a plane.. that is the simple truth…
before 9/11 … hijacks were NEVER crashing of planes.. it was always, land and meet the demands.. noone was ever hurt.. THAT is the ONLY reason that noone made a move. THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN TODAY. proof? the 3rd plane is the proof… after someone ON THE PLANE heard from someone else on the ground, that one of the planes that was hijacked was crashed into the building, they immediately overpowered the hijacker, but it was too late to not crash… i don’t think A SINGLE person would let anyone do ANYTHING on a plane today. they can sniff for bombs and weapons.. but full body cavity searches for weapons? if they pull some small knife out of their butt and stand up on a plane, i’ll give it about 1 second before 10 people jump on them.

Posted on June 27, 2011 at 5:36pmEverybody needs to just calm down. We don’t need no stinking TSA patdowns. We don’t need no stinking diaper inspections (the dirty diaper probably set off the bomb sniffer). We don’t need no stinking fondling of infants and young children, and daddies and hot mommies (well, uhh, never mind), and wrinkly grammies and grampies. All we need to do is to pass everyone by a bomb sniffer. If they don’t pass, they don’t fly. Take a bath or change your diaper or something. Also we should allow all concealed weapons licencees to bring their weapon of choice on the pland, issue a weapon to anyone else that asks for one and that would stop any crazies from trying something stupid. Perhaps we could put an emergency evacuatiioin shute in the floor of the plane, not for emergency evacuations but to be used to launch self-proclaimed terrorists out of. One more rule would be that everyone swears that what happens on the plane stays on the plane (except for those that were launched out or the emergency shute. There you go. All the TSA bunch would have to get a job that contributes to society.

Posted on June 27, 2011 at 9:04pmStop flying-I did. Can you imagine if everyone took a stand and didn’t fly,,,even for just a month??? Airlines/airports couldn’t afford it and would put some serious, serious pressure on the gov’t.

Posted on June 28, 2011 at 5:36amHas the TSA checked how many felons and illiterates it has hired? What is the racial breakdown in hiring? Are whites underrepresented? Is this Obama’s army?

Posted on June 28, 2011 at 8:27amGoing back and looking at the horror stories of TSA groping, I can’t find one that involves any race other than Whites. If a Black woman will call 911 over some McNuggets, CERTAINLY they’d lose it over being asked to comply with a body search?
Goes back to the old saying “All Muslims are not terrorist, but ALL terrorist ARE MUSLIMS”.

Realize that the TSA ALWAYS defends their workers.
Ask to speak to a supervisor at the airport, and that supervisor will always back up the screener.
Of course, you can’t see the rules, because they’re “secret”, no really.
Remember, Janet Napolitano said “The system worked” after the botched undie bomber fiasco.
