Very first blurb is this:

Considering that at DEL (as is common in India) one must show a boarding pass to armed guards in order to enter the terminal, I wonder if those involved were some form of staff at the airport. It is extremely difficult for non-passengers to enter the terminal, let alone for that number of times.

The other scenario could be at the arrivals area which can be very busy with meet and greets, etc. But again, for people to be there for that length of time and that frequency it leads me to wonder if they were some sort of staff.

Not as half as entertaining as the TSA fiasco's and the associated stunts which get reported in main stream media, and shared on this forum.

wow. Captured a mobile phone smuggler. Another blow for travel security.

I think perhaps you misunderstand.

The TSA clerks read those sorts of reports and believe that they mean "job security" for a collection of misfits, bullies, and thugs who're unable to find a real job that requires real skills.

Wow, you folks are pretty jaded if you cannot see the humor in that. Take the blinders off for a few minutes and just enjoy a good story.

Y'know what, Ron? It's awfully hard to find anything remotely humorous that has to do with airport security, when I am still feeling ill after being sexually assaulted, and having my surgical wounds pushed in until I cried out in pain, only two days ago...by YOUR CO-WORKERS.

Go get yourself a job that doesn't require you or your cohorts to abuse the disabled mother of an American soldier...or anyone else for that matter. Then and only then might I consider anything you post to be worth enjoyment.

LeeAnne,

Your story should be told to all and sundry except the TSA.

I suspect that the majority of TSA employees get a kick out of reading stories like yours.

They must be learning from DHS - No cost is to high!

Should I feel sorry for you? I dont.
Should I tell you why the screening was needed? I could I suppose, but what would be the point, you do not seem to have any wish to know the facts.
Should I feel sad because the screening you received was appropriate to the situation you presented to my "co-workers"? No. I read your story, and the facts of it that I can sort out from the rhetoric and useless commentary tell me that you were given significant deference because of your physical situation.
You should look up the definition of �sexual assault� before you accuse someone of it. Getting dragged into a civil court for libel would be a very harsh way to learn its meaning.

�the disabled mother of an American soldier�. Is that supposed to make me feel something inordinate for you? If you were a disabled American soldier that would be a different story. As a veteran who has served during several combat actions I have respect for those who did so and those who either bear the scars of such or who paid the ultimate price. Being the parent of a service member gets you very little in my book.

You are more than welcome to �plonk� me madam if what I have to say causes you discomfort, but I will not stop opposing the rampant ignorance here and providing the facts simply because it does.

And what "facts" would those be? What "facts" could possibly justify what was done to me, or to my elderly disabled mother? What "facts" could justify my mother being forced to urinate on herself, and then publicly YELLED AT for doing so, when the TSO shoved her hand between her legs and felt her dampness there? What "facts" could justify a TSO pressing so hard on her recent breast-cancer-surgery incision to make her cry out in pain?

And what "facts" would make it okay for a stranger to push on my back brace so hard that it pressed into my recent surgical wound, causing me to cry out in pain? What "facts" would make it okay for this same stranger to rub her hand over my pubis, pressing on my clitoris?

There was nothing even remotely appropriate in the rubbing of my sex organs that I was subjected to by your co-workers. For you to say so is disgusting, and shows your true colors. Only a pervert would think that is acceptable.

Really? So when I was made to stand for several minutes in a glass box, without being allowed to sit, without the benefit of my cane to lean on? When the TSO called for a female assist, and she took her time coming over, and stopped to stack trays before she bothered? And then, I was submitted to not one but TWO intensely thorough friskings, for no reason other than the fact that I must wear a medical device? While all the healthy, able-bodied passengers walked on by, gawking at me, unmolested?

YOU are the one who needs to look up the definition of "sexual assault". But since you seem unable to do so, I will post it here for you:

"Sexual assault takes many forms including attacks such as rape or attempted rape, as well as any unwanted sexual contact or threats. Usually a sexual assault occurs when someone touches any part of another person's body in a sexual way, even through clothes, without that person's consent."

A stranger rubbed her hands all over my buttocks, and then rubbed her hands over my pubis, pressing in on it to the point where I felt it on my clitoris. So, I take it you wouldn't mind if I did that to your wife? To your daughter? To your mother?

Go ahead, tell me that this woman pressing on my pubis and clitoris wasn't sexual assault. I WAS THERE. I felt it. Those are the exact actions my husband takes when he wants to excite me sexually.

If someone stopped me in the street and did those things to me, are you telling me I couldn't have them arrested?

Oh, and I would LOVE to go to court and show the judge and/or jury what this woman did to me. I would LOVE to have her held accountable for rubbing her hand on my sex organs for no reason other than the fact that I was wearing a medical device.

Oh really? So the sacrifices of the parents of American service members don't count? Those of us who watch children get sent into harms way, and who might very well lose our children in their fight to defend our nation's freedom - OUR sacrifice means nothing to you? Funny - I just spent two days being thanked profusely by my son's superiors and other Army dignitaries at every event of my son's combat training graduation. I take their opinion way more seriously than yours. THEY don't hold jobs that require them to sexually assault me.
The only ignorance on display in here is yours. Go ahead, give me some "facts" that show that the TSA has done a single thing of value to this nation. Name one terrorist they have caught, or even stopped. Name one terrorist act they have prevented.

You and your ilk make me sick.

Now, mind if I come over and do to your female family members, exactly what that TSO did to me? Yeah...didn't think so.

At least they didn't implode it out of an abundance of caution. Half a traffic cone is better than no traffic cone at all.

You know, Ron ... I've observed that telling people that they don't get the joke is rarely likely to result in them suddenly getting the joke. In fact, it usually results in quite the opposite effect, as we're observing here. Just an observation.

"Kick" is not the word I would use...
