TSA molests 3-year-old boy in a cast & wheelchair [video]

"Do you like tigers, animals... anything like that?" -- Chester the Molester

This is disturbing. A young boy is given his first taste of American fascism when he is touched in familiar ways by the TSA. Of course, its friendly fascism with a smile and a rubber glove, but fascism nonetheless. The perpetrator makes the boy pull back his clothing and he rubs swabs all over his body and his wheelchair. Look for commentary bubbles on the video itself from the boy's father.

TSA Agent Shown Searching a Wheelchair-Bound 3-Year-Old

A YouTube video showing the search has received over 50,000 hits since it was uploaded two days ago and contains scathing commentary from the boy’s father, Matt DuBiel. The boy, who was patted down and swabbed, was not allowed to be physically consoled by any family members in the process. Along with a couple of grandparents, the family was en route to a personal vacation in early 2010 at Chicago’s O’Hare aiport.

TSA jackasses in action. They are nothing more than a prelude to the modern day brownshirts.

How many terrorists has TSA caught?

Hmmmm..... let me count.... um..... ZERO.

Not that I know one way or the other, but there are many things on a daily basis that get caught that we never even know about. Something like a terrorist getting caught can and has in the past caused our economy to go even crazier for a few days. If no civilians saw it, I would not be surprised if it was not in the news.

That being said, this is absolutely ridiculous.

WOW..

Welcome to the USSR

F*** flying while this is going on. If I can't drive, I won't go.

Some weirdo at an Indians game last year wanted to search my 7 yr old daughter. I told him not to touch her we would just leave. He backed off and we walked on in.

If this is what the jackass TSA blueshirts consider permissible when they are on camera, what to they consider permissible when nobody is watching?

I can accept that as a reasonable argument so far as justifying the belief that just because we don't see it that doesn't mean it didn't happen, although I rather doubt that there has been any significant success. The larger problem is that if we accept this nonsense on the argument that life would be so much worse without it, with no proof presented (fact that proof would not justify it notwithstanding) we have set ourselves up to have unlimited violations foisted upon us in the name of security.

You're a lot nicer than I would have been.

TSa is nothing but a feel good measure. Anyone with sense could get passed it with all kinds of crap.

All TSA personnel should be dragged through the streets and strung up with piano wire.

 

[strahd71]

ok here is my two cents .

is the TSA wrong and evil..... of course.

but what the hell is the deal with the parents flying with their kids knowing that this stuff goes down? i mean you have to live under a rock to have not heard about this stuff.

people pee their pants but yet folks still fly? who's the idiots the TSA or the folks who continue to put themselves through it?

want to get rid of the TSA stop flying!

Are there any objections to my thread title? I'm prepared to post the definition of "molest" for anyone who wants to tell me that technically this was a standard security patdown backed by existing case law.

Just because it is legal does not make it any less wrong.

I'll see your comment and raise you an observation that letting nameless faceless bureaucrats and activist judges determine the definitions and also determine which is 'standard' is a huge part of our present problem!

No need. It was the standard TSA sexually abusive child molesting pat down. You get this sort of thing in an organization that can only hire lowlifes who could never get another human being to voluntarily have sex with them. It's sort of a "DUH" moment every time something like this happens.

Not that i agree with any of this tsa stuff,for every one of these instances there are millions of those who fly with no issues.

My wife and I took my son on a plane last month, gasp nothing happened.

To stop flying because every once in a while you see a video of TSA possibly going overboard is just silly. If that is the worst thing that happens on their trip, Id say its fairly unevenentful.

Btw I coulndt care less about going through a body scanner either. I did it, my son did not. Can you belive that TSA was ok with it and didnt make a big deal at all.

Congratulations. Still doesn't change the fact that we have (part of) one of the largest power grabs in history not only being invasive philosophically but also physically, and too often directed at small children. Laws against child molestation exist for one and only one reason: The proscribed behaviors are injurious to the children. I fail to see how rubber gloves and/or a government-issued ID card make the aforementioned behaviors any less injurious to the children. If we are going to go down this path, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to permit rape so long as it's done by a government employee.

Your right.

As long as its only the rights of others that are being burned in the ovens, this whole thing is much ado about nothing.
