When did a TSA officer sexually assault a child, elderly or a disabled person?

I'm starting to think that some of you are just angry about the whole concept. But, that's OK.

As for the theft, I stand by the point that this is very rare considering the size of TSA. I also stand by my point that it is VERY unacceptable for any theft to be happening. However, I do not know how people can prove that TSA stole their property. Your links even mention that and how other people handle the bags.
Selective reading much? Below is a quote from the first article I linked


More than 60 TSA screeners have been arrested for theft at 30 different airports, both large and small. Some have been caught going through bags in full view of airport security cameras -- one is even seen on tape pocketing a gold bracelet.

It seems that some of these folks are more upset with the U.S. agencies that try to prevent terrorist attacks than then are with the actual terrorists!

I have not seen ONE THREAD that says, "I am so mad at terrorists for trying to hurt us for no reason!" But, we see threads complaining about TSA. I couldn't live with myself knowing I was that blind and unfair.
I'm not sure how often you're on this forum but there are very extreme people here who like to rant and disregard facts. It can be frustrating but it is what it is.

The revised pat down is on par with sexual assault. Go grab a stranger's breast or genitals and that's sexual assault.

I actually didn't go to the first link because it seemed like it was a video link and I try to stick with text for security reasons. But, I will check it out later. Like I said, it's unacceptable and disappointing if that really happened.

I wonder if you'd feel the same if you weren't financially tied to the TSA.

What is a revised pat-down?

Once again, you all say things thinking you know what you are talking about and you don't even make sense.

You do realize that there is a law protecting a TSA officer and there is no law that allows someone to touch a stranger? Also, I don't recall a TSA officer being able to "grab" anyone's breast or genitals. That's another place where you are wrong.

Yes, yes TSA screeners are the only people that steal and they only steal because they work for TSA. You're on to something sir.
