Witnesses? Source besides Prison Planet? Apparently the TSA agents filmed the whole things (according to the article) while laughing, hooting, stealing, and name calling so there must be something somewhere.

I'm not saying it didn't happen but I won't get upset unless someone can prove it.

Here's one that didn't have a video, just a story. Follow up though is that it was real because the TSA apologized.

They told a woman to "prove" that her breast pump was real.

TSA apologizes for making mom pump breast milk - New York Daily News

Proves nothing, the TSA (spokesperson) just apologized for not following all procedures correctly (yes that can happen with human beings in the real world). Nowhere was it acknowledged that any TSA employee actually "forced the woman to pump breast milk in the restroom". A classic example of how the press distorts news, and simpletons who don't know how to scrutinize the (alleged) facts.

I'm not saying NOTHING happened.. I am saying that it didn't happen the way its being reported via this link. There are 2 sides to every story and your getting 1 side. The TRUTH is ALWAYS in the middle of 2 different stories..

I visit airports regularly and have for the past 20 years... I have YET to come across these IDIOT/FOOL TSA agents that I keep getting reports of.. odd. No doubt there are some less desirable agents out there some where but the way it CONSTANTLY gets reported on CD is they are rampart and EVERY SINGLE one of them are IDIOTS/CRIMINALS/FOOLS.. etc.. its simply NOT TRUE!!!!

Nothing more than a WITCH HUNT from folks with nothing better to do!!!

Charge those knuckle dragging TSA agents with a hate crime. It seems like all we hear about is how the dregs of society have gotten jobs with the TSA and are completely incompetent and abusive in every aspect of their jobs.

“They went through my bag (for no reason), and found a couple bags of candy I brought. I was told I wasn’t allowed to fly with that (wtf? I’ve flown with food before — these were even sealed still because I brought them right in the airport). I was then asked if I would like to donate the candy “To the USO”. Since I know the airport there has an Air National Guard base, and I figured it would go to the soldiers, I (annoyed) said sure, why not?”

“The guards, as I was getting scanned, started eating the candy they just told me was for the soldiers. In front of me, still laughing at me (very clearly now). One of them asked why they were laughing, and one of them came up to me, pointed at my shirt, laughed at me and said, “****ing deafie”.

The Louisville TSA called me a “****ing deafie” and laughed at me because I was deaf, and they expected wouldn’t say anything back (or wouldn’t hear them). Make no bones about it — she was facing me and I read her lips. There was no mistake. I would later find out that they had called at least 4 other individuals the same thing.”

After the man became agitated, his friends tried to calm him before another TSA agent began filming and laughing, calling the group of deaf people “dumb apes”. When the group threatened to make a complaint, the TSA agent retorted, “You’re dumb deafies anyway so no one would believe you”.

Prison Planet.com » TSA Agents Laugh At Deaf Man, Call Him “F***ing Deafie,” Steal His Candy
SO?


The TSA was doing it's job...dehumanizing Americans so they will be compliant cattle.



I view ANY AMERICAN (who is not a suspect in a crime)being searched and patted down and X-rayed as outrageous and humiliating.

BS!
I go to a deaf school and have been hearing about it all week. It's not BS. I know some friends of the people this happened to personally.
