OK, this is just getting insane. The TSA detained a lady in Austin, TX this week after she refused a pat down by TSA agents. She has a pacemaker implant and could not be X-rayed, so she was escorted to a room for a pat down. She is a rape survivor and is very sensitive about being touched. She told the woman from TSA she would not have her breasts touched. The less than friendly screener said, "yes you are!" When she resisted she was thrown to the floor and dragged through the lobby and arrested.
Now does it take a genius to figure this one out? Holiday rush and an underpaid over zealous TSA agent gets angry. Is that a reason to wrestle a 56 year-old woman with a pacemaker to the floor?
The TSA theater is getting really annoying. Pretty son, it will affect the airline industry profits and they will start complaining. Maybe then someone will figure out how to maintain reasonable security without these kinds of silly invasions of privacy.

Doesn't this woman have solid ground for a lawsuit? This is outrageous! This is an outright, obvious, flagrant violation of her basic human rights and of those guaranteed in the US Constitution.
We should all support this woman.
Next time it could by you!
