85-year-old says she was strip searched at JFK - CBS News (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501363_162-57336199/84-year-old-says-she-was-strip-searched-at-jfk/ - broken link)

"An 85-year-old New York grandmother said Saturday she was injured and humiliated when she was strip searched at an airport after she asked to be patted down instead of going through a body scanner."


"But the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement Saturday no strip search was conducted."

"A review of closed-circuit television at the airport showed proper procedures were followed, Jonathan Allen, a TSA spokesman, said in a statement."

"The private screening was not recorded."

So somehow they "reviewed" the procedures but didn't record anything? I hope the safety Nazis are happy with the system they created.

Of course the private screening wasn't taped. How convenient.

Obamatron heuristic #317:

If (date_of_TSA_search >= 1/20/2009)
// print "if she doesn't like it, she doesn't need to fly"
Else
// print "Bush is a fascist"

Yet somehow they reviewed it on closed circuit television and determined that the proper procedure was followed.

I hope the poor old lady doesn't need a hip replacement. Obama would just tell her to take a pill.
