Supermodel on airport patdown: 'It left me no doubt about her sexual preference'...

Bar Refaeli is currently enjoying a trip overseas which has included a visit to London.
But things have gone a little awry for jetsetter Bar Refaeli, who claims she was violated by a security officer at an airport.
The Israel supermodel tweeted about the ordeal to her fans, explaining that a female officer went a little too far with a routine patdown.
'I got a security "patdown" by a woman at the airport that made me feel very uncomfortable and left no doubt about her sexual preferences,' she wrote on the social networking site.

TSA defends patdown of sobbing 4-year-old girl...

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who became hysterical during a security screening at a Kansas airport says security agents forced her to undergo a pat-down, and even yelled at the child and called her an uncooperative suspect.
The incident has been attracting increasing media and online attention since the child's mother, Michelle Brademeyer of Montana, detailed the ordeal in a public Facebook post last week. The Transportation Security Administration says its agents followed proper screening procedures.
The child's grandmother, Lori Croft, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that mother and daughter initially passed through security at Wichita's airport without incident. But then the child ran to briefly hug Croft, who was awaiting a pat-down after tripping the alarm.
That's when TSA agents insisted the child undergo a physical pat-down.

To date, there is no record of any 4 year old Muslim children who have been patted down.

Meanwhile, the TSA Theft ring grows.

"Transportation Security" seems a bit misnamed.

"To Professionalize you must Federalize"

Family Misses Flight after TSA Gives Pat-Down to 7-Year-Old -- with Cerebral Palsy!

Since Dina walks with the aid of leg braces and crutches, she cannot pass through airport metal detectors, and must instead submit to a pat-down by TSA agents.
Dina, who is also reportedly developmentally disabled, is usually frightened by the procedure. Her family reportedly requests that agents on hand take the time to introduce themselves to her.
However, the agents on duty at the time began to handle her aggressively instead.


Alert Authorities if you see this dangerous 7 year old!

COPS: TSA screeners let drug-filled luggage through LAX for cash...

Four current and former Transportation Security Administration screeners have been arrested and face charges of taking bribes and looking the other way while suitcases filled with cocaine, methamphetamine or marijuana passed through X-ray machines at Los Angeles International Airport, federal authorities announced Wednesday.
The TSA screeners, who were arrested Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, allegedly received up to $2,400 in cash bribes in exchange for allowing large drug shipments to pass through checkpoints in what the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles called a “significant breakdown” of security.
In addition to the two current and two former screeners, prosecutors also indicted two alleged drug couriers and a third who allegedly tried to smuggle 11 pounds of cocaine but was nabbed when he went through the wrong security checkpoint.
The TSA employees “placed greed above the nation’s security needs,” Andre Birotte Jr., U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, said in a statement.
The 40-page indictment outlines five alleged smuggling incidents over a six-month period last year.

"If I had a terrorist he would look like me"


Thank goodness we will not profile potential terrorists but instead continue to harass little girls and grandmothers.
I guess it's now better to be FAIR than safe and sensible.

TSA said in a statement that it does not profile passengers on the basis of race, ethnicity or religion and is continually molesting little children and the elderly in wheelchairs to prove the point.

GERALDO 'RAPED' BY TSA...
Geraldo Rivera: I Was “Raped” By The TSA
Fox News host Geraldo Rivera revealed today how he was “manually raped” by a TSA worker while traveling to Afghanistan, explaining how he had been persecuted by the federal agency for falsely appearing on the infamous ‘no fly list’.
TSA has created a watch list of individuals who criticize the agency as a form of collective punishment are cognizant with reports of journalists being unnecessarily harassed. CNN journalist Drew Griffin was put on a TSA watch list immediately after he filed reports critical of the organization back in 2008.
In November 2010, we reported the story of how radio host Owen JJ Stone was told by a TSA screener that his pat down would include the screener putting his hands down Stone’s pants. The TSA worker directly patted down his testicles, penis and backside while his hand was inside Stone’s pants. Stone was initially embarrassed to reveal the full scope of the groping but related the details of what amounted to nothing less than outright sexual molestation.

Also in November 2010, blogger Erin Chase went public to reveal how she literally had her vagina groped by a TSA screener, who touched both her labia as well as her buttocks and breasts during a pat down.

Former Miss USA Susie Castillo also revealed how a TSA worker touched her vagina during a pat down at Dallas-Fort Worth airport in April 2011 after she refused to go through a body scanner.

Rivera added that he thought “there is a lot of merit in people who say it should be re-privatized,” referring to a recently passed bill that allows airports to evict TSA screeners and replace them with private security.

Senator Rand Paul, who himself had a tense run-in with the loathed federal agency, has also recently launched a campaign to abolish the TSA, backed by a promise to introduce legislation that will “END the TSA and get the government’s hands back to only stealing our wallets instead of groping toddlers and grandmothers.”

What is it with Nigerians?

Who will watch the watchers?

Longtime TSA security supervisor at NJ airport is an illegal immigrant with a stolen identity!!!
A Nigerian man used the identity of the victim in an unsolved murder to hide his status as an illegal immigrant while working undetected for two decades as a security guard and then a TSA supervisor at one of the United States’ busiest airports, authorities said Monday in announcing his arrest.
The arrest of Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole came on the day a federal report found the Transportation Security Administration’s handling of security breaches at the airport, Newark Liberty International, deficient.

On the other hand, TSA does offer good benefits.
