Making us safer by pouring on bad judgment, the TSA is at it again. Attacking the elderly, three year olds, and medical implant and prosthetic passengers, that’s going to stop terrorism.



Can’t you wait until government manages your healthcare? They are already screwing up Social Security.



“Cancer Survivor Says She Was Forced to Remove Prosthetic Breast During Pat-Down
Published November 20, 2010

A cancer survivor says she was forced to show her prosthetic breast during a pat-down at an airport in North Carolina.

Cathy Bossi, a Charlotte-area flight attendant, told WBTV, a local CBS affiliate, that in August, two female Transportation Security Administration agents took her to a private room for what she calls an aggressive pat-down.

They stopped when they got around to feeling her right breast, the one where she'd had surgery, said Bossi, a three-year breast cancer survivor.



"She put her full hand on my breast and said, 'What is this?'" Bossi told the station. "And I said, 'It's my prosthesis because I've had breast cancer.' And she said, 'Well you'll need to show me that.'"

Bossi said she removed the prosthetic breast from her bra.”
