Exactly. The TSA folks cannot physically force anyone to do anything without being attacked first, period. I would imagine that self-defense is acceptable in such a case. Too bad they were p***ies and had to pick on a chick. Guess a big dude would've decked them. Only the police can do what the TSA did.

Excellent detective work! Changes nothing, but still excellent detective work!

Even if you make fun of the TSA agent's handicapped daughter, it is illegal to be assaulted by them. The law is the law. Sorry.

Is there some particular reason why you're bolding your comments?
It's really not good internet protocol.

Internet Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure the quality of IP is affected by bolding text.

I mean, it's been 4 years and you can't tell us if those guys were fired? Were the charges dropped?

I'm interested in HOW this incident was addressed after the fact.
Well, we've got Ralph Nader supporting the TSA, or Airport Security.

Summers, I've asked you repeatedly for more info. Not only haven't you been able to provide it, you also don't even respond.

Secondly, the video has been CROPPED to only start where the altercation begins....very convenient.

I'm calling BS.

(Especially after the matchmaker show, raises a lot of questions about how this crazy duck might behave.)

This is actually straight out assualt. It should be prosecuted. You teach children never to allow a stranger to touch their private parts. Then some goon with a blue suit claims they have to and can call for an arrest if its refused? What sort of message are we telling kids? And if you can't arrest yourself but tell the police they should what's the difference?

Compliance "officers" should not be able to touch you.
It isn't forced, so your entire premise is flawed.

Once you begin the process, it becomes an administrative search, and so no probable cause or warrant is required and you are required by law to complete it.

I worked there for four years - never once did I take off a prosthesis or make someone walk without a brace. There may have been isolated and unauthorized instances of that happening, but it certainly was not SOP.

Also, they can't tell the police to arrest anyone, the police decide whether or not they want to arrest anyone. I worked for the TSA in California - we'd get people with pot all the time who had a medical marijuana card, cops saw the card, and the passenger went on their marry way with the pot.
