TSA Bas_tards Bully Young Mother

It would have to be something drastic such a terrorist getting through (slipping equipment separately that could be made into weapons or chemicals that separately could be made into an explosive) or someone who has been patted down and is a bit unstable dropping through the airport window, to get their attention. Or a whole lot of people screaming, carrying signs. But then I am a writer and have a good imagination - even though that would not be out of the possibility. I do not think that they should wait until years later, when there is a rise in cancer rates and maybe unusual levels of leukemia in the children born of those pregnant women who were forced to go through the scanners. Maybe if one of the privileged few go through the scanners and pat downs because their private plane was not available and maybe they will listen to those who suggest using dogs.

This is not the first time I have heard stories like this one. Face it...if you have small kids or an infant....it is NOT worth it to fly at all. I hope she sues the heck out of them. And I hope people start boycotting flying until TSA learns some respect for the peope who are flying. I stopped flying years ago when my son (who is now 7) was a toddler. He got "randomly picked" for additional screening. Which means some stranger got to put his hands all over him. I was not happy with that..my son was freaked out by it. It was just bad all around. Show when a 2 year old has ever been a terrorist?

I've been saying this (and writing) this for years. I haven't flown since 2001 and the more the procedures become more and more ridiculous, I wonder if I am ever going to fly again in my lifetime. It takes a lot more time. But the buses and trains are much more sane. At least the last time I used them.

I had a similar experience with my daughter in 2004. And that was before it got this bad. Someone in Miami airport had smuggled something( I don't know what) in their kids diaper. And they wanted to remove my daughter's diaper. Needless to say I went ape. Now, I have a young son in diapers. And we have only flown once. My hubby was with us on that trip. I don't plan on flying again until he is older. Just not worth it.

Companies get away with bullying because people let them. What needs to happen is a massive airline boycott. When they start crying for customers, then people can go back on their own terms. xoxo Cyne

It's hard to believe this kind of gross violation of constitutional and basic human rights is going on every day in America. The more I see about the TSA and the absolutely horrible way they treat people, the madder I get. I simply can't fly anymore. I can't go into an airport and subject myself to that kind of treatment. I'd end up in jail because I would fight back. I also tend to treat people just as they treat me, so they wouldn't like me very much. One thing that really struck me about this incident too is the big glass box they put you in if you "act up". They put you in a "time out" box in full view of everyone. This is our government in action - holding someone up to public ridicule and embarrassment for DARING to stand up for one's rights. I'll make sure I NEVER set foot in Phoenix airport as long as I live. As a matter of fact, I'll just steer clear of the city of Phoenix completely. I used to fly several times a year. Not anymore! The airlines don't get one more dime of my money. That's what we need to do to protest this, quit flying. If everyone did, how long do you think they would have these TSA idiots doing what they're doing?
