No, from what I understand, they reviewed the public video to see what led up to the private-screening. That's what they are saying was done correctly.

So disgusting. I have to take my 97 year old Grandma on a flight next year and if they dare try to do that to her ya'll will surely see me on the news. I will use every ounce of my 93 lbs to take everyone of those bastards down.

Jean Weber of Destin filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security after her 95-year-old mother was detained and extensively searched last Saturday while trying to board a plane to fly to Michigan to be with family members during the final stages of her battle with leukemia.

Her mother, who was in a wheelchair, was asked to remove an adult diaper in order to complete a pat-down search.“TSA cannot exempt any group from screening because we know from intelligence that there are terrorists out there that would then exploit that vulnerability,” she said.

So they know from intelligence that terrorists use grannies for their own purposes. What level of "intelligence" would that be???

Not rocket science - Palestinian terrorists have used elderly persons and mentally retarded persons to be suicide bombers - although, not really suicide bombers...

And when was the last time that happened here in America when an 85 year old American woman traveling from one state to another was wired to blow???

Do they make parents remove the diapers from their babies and toddlers so that they can be "searched"?

And on Sept 10th 2001 you could have said when was the last time foreign terrorists took over several airlines in a coordinated attack that would knock down skyscrapers.
