So in order to make certain that a passenger is not hiding something under a bandage, TSA presses harder on those sites. That's really smart.
Why does TSA require people wearing casts and using crutches to give up those crutches and hop through scanners, either WTMD or WBI? Why does TSA force people using crutches to stand while those crutches are being sent through the x-ray? What would happen if someone refused to put their health at risk to satisfy TSA?
When is TSA going to publish a reconciliation of all those "dangerous items" found "daily" while molesting passengers?
