All passengers should be screened equally. Better yet, all passengers should remove all their clothes and place them in well marked plastic bags. The passengers board the plane naked and receive their clothes upon getting off the plane at their destination.

At least that's what a well planned for screening multi billion dollar system should work.
An ostomy bag or implant is no big deal. It does not require special training for screeners.

You have repeatedly blamed this cancer patient throughout this thread & have even suggested he created a situation where urine was spilled all over himself so that he could sue & make money.
Isn't that enough?
Would you approve & be so vigilant in blaming a patient if it was someone YOU love or care for?
This man has been through enough & his treatment at the airport in the name of 'fear' was & is disgusting.

Yes I am outraged & if you are not, then I am sorry for you.
This should never happen in our country.
Are you OK with being groped at the airports?

That is your interpretation of my posts and your opinion is not fact. I have no problem with a pat down at the airport. As someone who flies frequently I consider it a necessary evil.

Clearly it is a big deal and clearly they do require special training or instances like this wouldn't happen.

It is not a big deal and they do not need special training. There was obviously some miscommunication in this instance.

Did you not say that you believe getting pat downs at the airports is a necessary evil?
Why is it necessary?
Do you not think that a screener should have some kind of training to be able to avoid pulling the bag from this mans body?
