An ostomy bag or implant is no big deal. It does not require special training for screeners.
Apparently it does, per the article.
------------------------------------
But are all now safer due to their extreme prejudice in giving this threat the proper enhanced pat down. Let's just bend over and take it in the name of security. It's sad what people will accept in the name of security. Just sad. People..we are being conditioned. Don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise.
I hope Amtrak gets booked 110% solid for the next 12 months.
Hey, the one thing I do like about this is that it is a great opportunity to preach the virtues of rail travel. I already take the Amtrak between school and home anyway. And:

As long as this kind of security is going on we all need to accept the fact that we are presumed guilty when we get to the airport until we can prove our innocence after the scanning/pat down is over.
Everyday Americans now get to find out how this feels. Maybe then there will be more sympathy towards victims of profiling? Not!
Hmm, the only retired teacher I would single out for special screening is Bill Ayers.
Agreed.
I wish the airports would start opting out of the TSA altogether and hire their own version of El Al screeners. Profile the hell out of potential problem travelers ... quit the stupid politically correct, random crap. Don't pat down Grandma Bessie or the 5 year old girl with her teddy bear.
Fast track the super frequent flyers. Strip search the guy with a one way ticket to DC and that born in Yemen.
It looks like Mr. Sawyer attacked the TSA with a yellow liquid weapon of some sort. Possibly a chemical or biological weapon. That's not really urine!!!
Well, people don't see it that way. If America is attacked, then someone is to blame for not preventing it. And when we are going through drastic measures, like full body scans, to make sure you are not sticking up a bomb in your vagina, than it is suddenly going too far. I don't get it. Do you want to be safe or not? You cannot have it all.
Except NOTHING being done would find that out...so 'feel' safe while flying KNOWING that any of the other passengers around you could have explosives hidden in a body cavity....

Exactly, it's an illusion.
He isn't any safer than he was for the last 9 years, plus.

Throw him in jail. He's a terrorist.
What it could have been is much more important than what it actually is these days.

This is just so opposite of our justice system ... It's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty!
