Video of TSA Giving Patdown to Boy in Body Cast and Wheelchair Goes Viral

We’ve seen them before: videos of the TSA giving patdowns to young children going through airport security lines. And almost every time, the videos go viral. Add another one to the list.
The latest video shows a young boy who apparently has broken his leg being chosen for extra screening. As he sits in a wheelchair and a body cast, a male TSA agent pats down the boy’s cast and swabs the boy and his wheelchair for explosive residue. As the agent talks soothingly to the boy, the boy’s father records the screening:
While the TSA agent, the boy, and the boy’s father remain calm, the father let his thoughts know by writing irate captions on the video:
So what do we know about the video? Not much beyond what it says. According to YouTube, it was uploaded on Saturday, March 17. The video’s description says the screening happened while on a family trip to Disney:
A toddler in a wheelchair is stopped by the TSA at ORD (O’Hare Airport in Chicago) and forced to into a sequestered area. On his way to a family vacation in Disney, this 3 year old boy is in a body cast for a broken leg. Despite assurances from his father that “everything is ok”, he is physically trembling with fear while he watches his two siblings, mother, father, grandfather and grandmother pass through along with everyone else…only to be singled out.
He simply does not understand what is happening and why.
That video description links to a website Mattdubiel.com and called Matt on Air. It‘s unclear if the man featured on the site is the boy’s father. The description of the blogger describes him as a Chicago radio personality:
Chicago Magazine featured Matt Dubiel in 2005 as one of the “pioneers of podcasting”. Fast Company Magazine called Matt Dubiel “one of social media’s NEW stars” and one of the top 1% of influential people on the internet! Matt’s tenure as a veteran radio programmer in Chicago has lead to press in Crains Chicago Business, Chicago Tribune, and the Huffington Post.
It features several videos from the YouTube channel that features the TSA video and the voice sounds familiar. A Google search reveals Dubiel is referred to as the general manger of radio station WJJG-AM 1530 in Chicago. Additionally, the Twitter account @mattonair — which also uses the name Matt Dubiel — features the same picture as the one on Mattdubiel.com:
It’s worth noting a few things with the latest video. It appears to show a screening that’s seemingly the result of the boy going through security in a large cast and a wheelchair. It does not appear he was randomly selected for additional screening. It also appears the TSA agent is calm, collected, and soothing. And finally, the video does not show if the father objected to any of the swabs or patdown or requested private screening. He may have have earlier, but we just don’t know from the video.
What do you think?
UPDATE:
The boy’s father has now admitted the video is two years old, raising questions about why he’s just coming forward now. The TSA has responded that the video was taken before new screening procedures were put in place.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 11:05amSenator Santorum is a strong supporter of homeland security legislation. While in office, he voted in favor of the PATRIOT Act and its reauthorization, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and the legislation that created the department of Homeland Security.
In November of 2011, Senator Santorum compared the actions taken today to curtail threats from muslim extremists to the actions taken by President Lincoln during the civil war. He stated bluntly that the US is at war and that the threats need to be dealt with her at home.
At a Presidential forum in late 2011, Senator Santorum stated that the PATRIOT Act did not violate civil liberties and reasserted his support for the legislation.
In January 2011, Senator Santorum was asked if he would have signed the 2012 NDAA if he were President. Acknowledging that the legislation granted the President the right to arrest and detain US citizens, Senator Santorum then stated that indeed would have signed the legislation, but as President would have maintained the previous standard of a right to a trial..

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 11:30amBut if they only pull Middle Eastern men, they’re profiling…can’t have that. So they “look at the threat potential.” What happened to the threat that middle eastern women were going to put explosives in breast implants? Are they pulling out big busted middle eastern women for private screenings? No, that would be profiling. But we can pull out everyone in a wheel chair (as long as they’re not middle eastern), we can search through black women‘s hair because it’s puffy, we can strip search 80 year old women because they don’t want their pacemaker to go off and kill them in that stupid machine, we can force breast feeding mother to pump in a public restroom, we can force mastectomy patients to show their prosthetic (which is SILICONE, and therefore transparent as flesh). This is why I will never fly.

You do realize that our terroristic islamist …..i’m sorry, extremely non-violent religiously anonymously friends utilize people such as these to transport the issue. Or use the people themselves to blow somethin up. Wheelchairs, casts and the like are easily customized to to fit anything they wish into them to smuggle them past. TSA is doing what is needed for your’s and my very own safety in the matter. This is one case in which it’s justified. If you have an issue with it….take a trip to the middle east sometime and watch an amubalance be used to blow people up…because after all it’s an ambulance right?

Report Post »If you need this type of harassment to feel “safe”, that is fine. Ordinary people such as myself would choose another type of airport, airline, etc. that is checking people well enough to satisfy any safety concern that I may have. Unfortunately, the government does not allow private business to give me this type of choice and forces these unlawful searches down my throat anytime I want to fly somewhere.
Let the airlines and airports decide how to handle this best. The airlines have the most to lose if one of their planes is bombed, so let them decide the best method for keeping us safe, and I will take their alternative (and my choice in the matter) any day over government intervention.

the video says this family was travelling to Florida…from america to america…
so any drugs being “smuggled” were already within the US.
Our constitution guarantees us free travel within the US without being subject to illegal search and seizure…
how does preventing illegal drugs from moving between NY (or other) and Fla justify suspension of our constitutional rights? it doesn’t.
But the patriot act illegally suspends our constitutional rights to combat terrorism…so officially, they can only be looking for bombs.
but practically they are treating us like third-world peasants where the police just pick pedestrians off the street and search them at will…
is the drug war worth relinquishing our rights as american citizens? Is the war on terror worth it? There is something sinister at work here, and half the people yawn while the other half cheer.

i am all for legalization and regulation of drugs in the manner we regulate tobacco and alcohol. people that use, not abuse, and are able to peacefully and productively live their lives should not have their rights trampled on. we need to recognize who the abusers are (people who neglect their kids in order to do dope, dont work and commit crimes to support their habits) and get them the help they need.
however under the current laws we cant have any sanity. people use kids to smuggle drugs and not necessarily large ammounts for distribution. they aren’t hindering your ability to travel, that is an exaggeration but i do agree that the screenings are a bit much.

He certainly expected his dad to be protecting him and dad was not allowed.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 10:44amI would expect none of them to be checked whatsoever. It will take the passengers to stop their threat while en route.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 10:53amThe problem is, Muslims rarely get checked! The women can’t be patted down, and the men can check their own head covering because no one else is allowed to touch it. Someone needs to police the TSA!

We’ve all seen his type setting off car bombs and blowing themselves up in the name of the supreme invisible guy in the sky. I praise the TSA for being “on the ball” and keeping Americans safe all around the country.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 10:36amThis makes me so angry that I want to cry. What kind of person would willingly do this to a child in the name of protecting America? What level of of “only following orders” will a person like this reach?
Will a person who can do this sleep well after he “soothingly” prepares a person for imprisonment or execution because of those orders?
Thay aren’t training us, they are training the next generation of death camp guards.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 11:28amKeep in mind that mom and dad knew this kind of thing was possible.
Folks keep willingly giving up liberty for convenience, and these are the results. This would all stop immediately if every passenger they tried this crap on refused to comply. We could easily overwhelm their system (using their tactics on them, if you will).

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 10:22amThis shows one more case of the TSA being used as a conditioning force for the people; what will come next? Outright execution of people in the streets by Obama’s decree?
People of the Blaze: Over a year ago I called for the forming of Prayer Warriors, to ask God for the deliverance of our nation, to forgive our nation of the sins we have done and allowed to continue by neglect.
I make the call again as our nation is facing the final hour of our existence; unless we have, with firm reliance in God by faith, we will go into the night. Gather the warriors of your families, friends and communities. Call upon God to guide and preserves us, to sustain us and lead us in the restoration of the land from the darkness by His guiding and revealing light.
Peace and grace of God be with you.

Been begging Him to hear the prayers of those who still love and honor Him, and are gratefull to live here. Been begging personal forgiveness for my errors in sitting back and not fighting harder against evil because I was scared. Been begging for courage to do all I can to turn back the evil happening around us and our freedoms slipping away quickly. Been begging to keep our country free so my children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren can be free. Give me times and dates, I’ll join any group praying for this country-on top of my daily begging.

I’ve been with you a lot longer than the year ago, and want to assure you, from other Conservative and Patriot sites I visit regularly, THERE ARE MANY OF US, EVEN IF BEING IGNORED BY ALL MEDIA, (It’s ever been this way!) GOD IS AT WORK, AND ENCOURAGED ME TO GO AHEAD AND PREPARE FOR A BETTER LIFE IN THIS NATION AFTER [HE] CHANGES THE COURSE OF IT. (Which I have begun to do!) OUR GOD IS STILL SUPREME! I honestly believe what we are about to see is the “STONE NOT CUT WITH HANDS” come down and smash this idol Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream. Let’s keep watching and praying, perhaps it’s the “New Jerusalem” instead of USA which we will see soon, but God is in control. Let’s keep praying for souls.
