Another great example why people should NEVER allow themselves to be coerced into private screenings with people hired off gas-pump ads & pizza boxes.

Alex Jones has produced so much BS over the YEARS, he is considered a joke. At 3:35 of the film clip he stated that he watched male TSOs touching 3 year old girls. Those are his words. He said nothing? He did nothing? This individual is a big ball buster and yet he did nothing? How many of you have ever seen a male TSO touch a female pax at all. It doesnt happen. Female pax can wait 10-15 minutes until a female TSO is available for that patdown.
Just another lying traveler tsadude1?
Sure seems to be a lot of reports recounting similar events in the last couple of weeks.
Where there is smoke there is fire!

Haven't you heard about the TSA rubbing the diapered rumps of infants and toddlers? Often in such situations the TSA doesn't ask about the gender of the infant and toddlers -- not that it matters since same-sex-oriented pedophiles exist too.

Male TSA employees touching female passengers does happen. And female TSA employees aren't always available within 10-15 minutes to perform patdowns of female passengers.

Sexual Assualt and Molesting at the Airports
The government is attacking our privacy, our dignity, our freedom, and our humanity everyday by all means possible without due process. They're violating our human and civil rights under the pretex of safety and security. We must speak out against these illegal and immoral acts and stop them before they get worse. We must file a lawsuit against the TSA for their invasive, intrusive, and abusive bahavior at the airports.

OK you say it didn't happen and the lady says it happened to her.
The evidence.
We know that TSA has stepped up the pat downs and that they are more aggressive. We know that the "Enhanced Pat Down" was tested at some airports. We have videos from TSA that certainly makes it look like TSA is getting close or directly on the genitals during the pat downs. There have been several reports in the media from various sources saying the new pat down is quiet invasive.
On the other side of the argument we have your statement saying it didn't happen. Nothing more.

For how long is the video footage retained? You are sure that's all available still to be viewed in "ALOT" of different places?

Are all the cameras and their recordings reviewed every day to make sure that 24-hour recording for every camera installed was accomplished? That would require a lot of labor hours to accomplish.

Oh yeah ! They installed new less than a year ago. There are 40 plus cameras on each cp. Each CP can see there own and they are watched and displayed in the office 24/7. They can see the other cameras and the central monitoring station is in CMF and DOCC. So yeah I am sure.

yeesh
There is also no chance that it was opposite gender screening.
If the need arose, I would gladly swear under oath that I endured a thorough frisking at the hands of a male TSA. He was a tall, thin black man with very closely-cropped hair and he escorted me to an area that was petitioned off and that's where the frisk began.
I don't remember when (late 2004 if I had to guess), but I do remember that I told a lawyer friend about this afterward, and he was aghast. He said that I should file a complaint. I did not file a complaint. I was so terrified of being put on a no-fly list that I decided to just chalk it up to a lesson learned and move along.
At the time, I was a single woman with limited resources and a modest income and if I hadn't been able to fly, my small business would have died.

She is being called into doubt because she relates a patdown that is not part of our program. We have specific order of coverage and steps. Either the interviewee has a huge memory problem or she is making this up. There is also no chance that it was opposite gender screening.
