Please yourself, the fact remains that TSA officers are legally authorized to touch passengers in ways that ordinary citizens are not authorized to touch strangers.
Do you really believe that a terrorist would hesitate to plant a bomb on an elderly woman or a baby? If so you are sadly deluded.
Do you have a link to that specific law or are you making an assumption?
I also thought the "people" gave the government authority. But now it is becoming more apparent that we are only sub-serfs in a land that they own and we don't call any shots.
When the government does it then it's call national security.
When a citizen does it to the person who does the same the citizen is charged with felony sexual abuse.
While at Gatwick Airport (near London) on my way to Florida (last year)I was frisked by a female Asian Customs Officer. This had never happened before! I am white, female and retired, hardly likely to be carrying explosives. This officer made a point of feeling around my breasts. I found this very offensive but what could I do?
I think that a number of you folks have exposed the fact that you don't take the trouble to read this link. I say that because I called a 61 year old woman an old lady and many took up that part. I say that also because I see very little by others here that they have any idea what the woman did to the agent.
Lets read the link and then have some real discussion. That woman was certainly guilty of assault and those who read the story would know why that is. Not batter, but assault.
For once I agree with you roy. the woman is guilty of assualt for grabbing the TSA agents breast and twisting them. She should also be charged with sexual assualt. Anyone who thinks the agent deserved it or that the woman was justified needs to get their heads examined.

When you choose to fly these days you give up your right to do anything about it. You fly these days knowing and consenting to what they do.
There is nothing else you can do if you choose to fly.

The woman in my link is of Asian ancestry and she sure got even. Maybe just a bit more than even.
