Why is it overboard and irrational? A terrorist could take an elderly person who is baby sitting for her/his grandchild hostage and say, "we'll kill your grandchild if you don't wear this diaper and get on the plane." Terrorists will use any loophole in their random searches that the TSA allowed. That's not to say it should be done without giving the person in a diaper a degree of privacy in a private cubical and not do it standing in line for everyone to watch.
If they made her take diaper off she should have left a hot steamy pile of old people poop right there, and then told them, "the bomb is inside of that, go search it"!!
My Granny was trying and her cheeks were a flexing but she could not pull it off

And you call us paranoid?
I'm sure Al Qaida has a team working on this very lucrative loophole in security.
Should all people of middle eastern heritage be suspected of being terrorists?
No because not all Muslims are middle eastern. Some are black, Asian, white, and pacific islander. All Muslims should be under tighter security procedures. They've been responsible for terrorist actions around the world since the 1960s. It's only recently that they began targeting our country directly.

I think you've watched one too many "James Bond" movies.
Every time one of these stories appears on the news, we see the 'file' footage of some TSA agent wearing blue gloves [gloves that are worn for 8 hours touching a thousand people and transfering who knows what] feeling and groping crotches and hands rubbing over breasts. We see stories of infants being searched. Now we hear of a 95 year old woman with leukemia in a wheel chair being fully searched and told she has to remove her diaper.
I know that unemployment is high and it's difficult for people to find a job. But I'm wondering- How desperate do you have to be to be employed where the only function of your job is to grab and feel peoples crotches and look at them naked. What is the mind set of the superviser that tells an agent 'Give a full search to the old lady in the wheel chair'.
I'm tired of hearing the old excuse 'Everyone is a potential terrorist, it's for your safety'.
Elderly woman asked to remove adult diaper during TSA search | mother, search, adult - The News Herald (http://www.newsherald.com/news/mother-94767-search-adult.html - broken link)
the entire TSA has to be gotten rid of. the liberties of the people are more important that the safety of a few. the TSA is just as bad as the batf and they are both groups of jackbooted thugs.

Guys in prison hide all sorts of things in their rectum.
