TSA gropes young boy's testicles while he is strip searched in front of everyone

I'm guessing they don't.. I've been in a medical profession and during different periods of my training I saw people in less than modest positions. I can tell you, it's not something I enjoy.. But it's the way things have to go to provide care and treatment sometimes.

I don't expect you to get it. You're from Scottland. That's why my ancestors left; they didn't want to be slaves anymore.

I notice in todays news the TSA Chief, John Pistole, states that 4 out of 5 Americans support the invasive pat-down procedures. This is an outright lie. Someone is going to grab his stupid ass and beat the hell out of him before this is over. Being retired military, I have been trained by the Imperial American Empire to defend myself. I'll gladly go to jail to resist this latest ploy of the Empire to whittle away at our rights. Anyone who puts a finger on me will no longer have said finger. I fly Christmas Day - you will see me on the news.

B - what the hell makes anyone think the security staff that have to do this enjoy it?

In the military they have random pee tests to see who's doing drugs. A lucky NCO gets picked to be the pee watcher to make sure you are peeing in the cup and not pouring something in it to cheat.

Most of us stand back and let the people do their thing. But there are a couple that love it and make the people have their penus viewable to the pee watcher on duty. Those pee watchers enjoy it, and usually have a higher pitched feminine voice and try to make small talk with you while your trying to do your thing.

You better believe there are people out there enjoying the fact they can single out pretty girls to fondle or for some......little boys.

I believe, if you go to the actual post on YouTube, itself (don't just play the video off ATS), you can read the caption.



In the caption to the video, it says that the boy's FATHER removed his son's shirt so that the TSA officer could examine it.

Apparently the boy's father objected to his son being subjected to the full body scan. This was also alluded to in the text which accompanied the video at the source.



And, from the angle of the video, I can't see where the boy's "testicles weregroped" as is claimed in the inflamatory title to this thread. The officer seems to be performing a standard "pat-down" on the child, just as would be done to any other passenger in-lieu of a fulll body scan.



And, as to the possibility of children being used as "weapons carriers"; Currently, in parts of Africa children are actually trained, and fight, as soldiers. Some are boys barely old enough to carry a gun. Often the gun is as tall as, or even taller, than the child carrying it.

Some children, too small or weak to wield a firearm, are instead armed with machetes or axes; which they use to hack at, and dismember, their victims.

As mentioned, this has become a Political Correctness situation OUT OF CONTROL! We can not stand idly by as this happens! It is time to screen who the terrorist is more than likely going to be. It is 99% a chance that it will be a MUSLIM EXTREMIST! No questions! Who has it been in the past? Uh dur, gee, I dunno? Who has it been boss?

Again, Muslim extremists! They are fairly easy to pick out of a lineup! Do it! Stop fondling little boys and old ladies!

I've said in previous posts that the father was equally to blame for the travesty of justice that befell this young boy! Also, this incident did not take place in Africa and the last I heard NO American child has EVER been used as a weapon for terrorism in the US.

No child should be subject to a strip search without probable cause. No parent should allow their child to be strip searched in the US without probable cause. No government agency should be allowed to perform this search without probable cause! NO TSA search has EVER turned up anything that was remotely terroristic in nature. In fact, they've routinely missed the real terrorist threats. They are serving no useful purpose.

His Dad did that to him? That makes it even worse IMO. Some people have no business having kids. Jeeeeezzz

It doesnt matter whether he was groped or not really. Who are these TSA nazis protecting FROM THE BOY? You want to protect children, search te adults around him....but just who are you protecting from a 9 year old child? Seriously, an answer to this question. Even protocol has to be based on rationality. Why strip search a child who is American? He is a danger to who????? i will never fly again, unless I am forced to for some reason. Never again will I fly any flight!

ID rather a 10,000 dollar fine then let my kid get GROPED/MOLESTED what ever you call it!!! Yes i would of SWAM HOME I WOULD OF WALKED HOME TOOK a boat home a train home or drove home other then LET MY KID GET MOLESTED.. The parents let this happen.

Well you're very lucky to be in the position financially to pay $10,000 fines, pay for alternative transport for your family when you've already forked out for plane tickets or have the physical stamina (you and your family) to be able to walk potentially thousands of miles or better still swim the ocean! Sorry but whilst I totally abhor this treatment of the child and of many other innocent travellers, I really can't say you can blame the parents more than TPTB who instigted these intrusions into people's lives!

Yet.




Even beloved America has its share of Crazies.


And the sad truth is that "What goes around, Comes around".



Before 9/11 no one in the USA ever truly believed that a group of foreign terrorists could possibly strike so terrible a blow, In the United States Itself. (That's probably why no one in the upper ranks of the intelligence community responded to the multitude of warnings prior to the attacks: the self-delusional belief that what has never happened before couldn't ever happen in the future).

But the blow was struck.

Some of the racist comments on this forum are ridiculous. While you're focused on the "muslim" in a turbine as a terrorist people like Timothy Mcveigh are going to whack you in the back of the head. This is not all just a matter of race and religion. There's bad apples everywhere but I'm not going to allow them to govern and control my life out of fear if I can help it and I can.

The first person to come unglued on these people and give them what they deserve will become a national hero. The people need a hero to come forward against the attrocities being committed by the Empire on a daily basis.

I really like the misleading title. I really like how the father took the shirt off, the boy wasn't stripped. I didn't see any testicles, and the pat down was less than a minute. Oh no! You people need to quite twisting things to make them seem worse than they already are. Like that dude really wanted to "own" another guys kid, or just touch a little boy cause he's a flaming homosexual pedophile!!!!

I also like how one person said they arrested the kid. I'm very positive I saw handcuffs on the kid and being escorted to a cruiser, possibly given his mirandas. Very positive.

I'm not urging everyone to do this, but if you are so inclined and you'd like to vent, leave a complaint for the TSA here. Might as well voice your opinion to them personally while your at it. When I see new articles and videos, I have sent them with my opinion. It may go right into their garbage bin, but hey it makes me feel better and it could be quite effective.

You are a good and loyal subject of the Imperial Empire. I'm sure your family and friends are very proud of you. Unfortunately, when the Empire is defeated, people will remember you being a traitor against the people.

is there proof that terrorists even want to blow up planes?????

Ability to pay the fine is moot. We don't get the chair in this country for failure to pay a fine! YET.
Regardless of my ability to pay they would not be strip searching my child. I'll pay it off in jail time while another member of my family keeps my child safe from illegal, immoral and degrading full body searches.

BTW... why not call it what it is? Full body search, not "pat down". Its all in the wording. Pat down sounds so harmless and innocuous. If they told it like it was and used accurate terminology more people would protest. Its a full body SEARCH.

Yes, well as a single parent with no other relatives to look after my daughter, jail time would not be an option for me as my daughter would then be taken into local authority care...not the best of plans...

For many others also, who may find that the jail time and no earnings and the massive fine, is enough to make them homeless, not such a good plan either...

I cannot understand how anybody can work in this kind of job; one which involves humiliating passengers everyday. Even if it is asking someone to remove their shoes in front of everybody it still causes humiliation. I can never accept the argument that TSA employees are just doing a job. They must enjoy it.

I would never be able to look a decent fellow citizen in the eye and ask them to remove their shoes, valuables, etc. Even if I was jobless I could not do this kind of work. It goes against all principles of decency and respect. It is a completly different matter if someone is a suspected drug carrier, terrorist or criminal

Perhaps to gain an understanding of the mentality we should remember the famous Macdonald strip search scam. This is where a manageress ordered an employee to be stripped-searched and then asked a friend to do a cavity search on the poor girl. Why did she do it ? She said It was because a figure of authority rang her office and told her to do it.

So it seems there are a lot of people out there who will do anything for the state, irrespective of how it affects their fellow-men. I wonder if TSA employees have a secret way of identifying themselves when they travel in private in order not to get humiliated.
