Woman convicted of battery for protesting TSA pat-down

As a nation, we are truly become jaded, spoiled, and wimps of the highest order. Even 150 years ago, your fellow humans in his country would have scoffed at you if you had complained about such a pat-down. Now we cry foul and abuse and omg I felt VIOLATED. Boo frickin' hoo. We have it so good, and no one realizes it.

Really? The men and women of the Victorian age would have taken no issue to be patted down before they board a train?

First of all, you’re talking about smuggling drugs. I asked you to provide one instance of an older woman committing terrorism.

It doesn’t matter, it all works the same way, and they will try and use people that will draw as little attention as possible.

Often mules will not even know what they are carrying.

Secondly, the stories you provided are not even from this country.

Oh, so that means it doesn’t go on here?
How many years to airport work experience do you have?

NO act of terrorism has happened in the United States by an older woman acting as a mule.

We don't profile, we check everyone equally.
The minute that we start making exceptions to who we check is the minute they will start using exactly those type of people.

My God 45 min of pulling up court cases, giving legal definitions and links to groups exempt from TSA screening lost. I'll redo it later.
