US Pilot on Intrusive TSA Procedures: “They Want to See My Penis… And, If I Don’t Let Them See It, They Want to Touch It” (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 8:54 PM
US pilot Michael Roberts is suing the US Government for their intrusive, unconstitutional security procedures at airports. Tonight Roberts told Hannity this about the new police state tactics,
“Want to see my penis… And, if I don’t show it to them they want to touch it.”
Pilot Michael Roberts: “It’s pretty simple. I was commuting to work in Houston where I am based. And, I was stopped along the way by a federal agent. And, they wanted to see my penis. And, when I told them that that was not OK. They said OK. It’s optional…”
Hannity: Whoa, whoa, Michael. Hang on. They wanted to see what?
Roberts: You heard me. As John Tyner said, they wanted to see my junk.
Hannity: They wanted to see it?
Roberts: Well that what those machines do. It’s a virtual strip search. The AIT scanners scan your body. They can see if a man is circumcised or a woman is menstruating. They can see everything…
Hannity: You will not submit to this in any way?
Roberts: Well no. Like I said, if I don’t show it to them, then they insist on touching it. And if I don’t want either one of those then my option is to go home.

They can see whether or not a woman is menstruating? Now THAT is way the hell above and beyond the pale! Too bad all those pilots and stews don’t simply all refuse at once, all on the same day. That would change the face of things.
Robert commented:
We have a complete loss of liberty and dignity for the purpose of safety, and not a word about the political ideology of Moslems that causes this to happen.
Our government has defeated itself without even stating the probabilities of risk per passenger or flight, both of which are miniscule.
gus commented:
Would a scan of Obama reveal testicles?? Yes, Michelle Obama.
shibumi commented:
This pilot is completely right.
Scrap this system. Us EL Al procedures. No naked photos, no sexual assault.
Problem solved.
Lance commented:
It funny in a sad way. If a pilot wants to destroy a plane full of people he just has to point it toward the ground. Searching him for weapons is just… well futile and stupid (unless thats not your real objective).

the only place this is going to be popular is san francisco.
Lisa G in NZ commented:
The USA should just implement PROFILING. It works for Israel with their terror alerts and their flights.
Hey Sean Hannity, the veiled muslims say no touchy and no looky because its against their religion.
Perhap America flyers all need a new RELIGION: “NO TOUCHY-NO LOOKY”
John Stanford commented:
Dude is lying. They don’t strip you, they just make sure that there are no bombs on you and you keep your pants on.
Obviously is stupid to test pilots, though, since pilots aren’t terrorists and don’t need any weapons to be terrorists.
dnb commented:
With Lisa on this. The TSA (Obama administration) is bending over backwards to avoid the obvious: profile young men from Muslim countries, with Muslim names, known in Muslim mosques, etc. Frisking children and old nuns is ridiculous. Perfect Catch 22: Extremist Muslim terrorists are the reason for this type of security process, but put a burka on it and they don’t have to submit to the process. If moderate Muslims would have opened their mouths against extremists (and they had years and years to do it), this problem would not be happening.
dnb commented:
And has anyone asked, do the feds know something that the public is not being made aware of? Is there chatter? An impending attack? Is that the reason the search is on?
Sasja commented:
John Standford, you are so stupid. He was talking about the scanners showing his junk. It is a virtual strip search. If someone doesn’t want to be scanned than they are fondled.
avery commented:
That a Good one “Gus”.

You know, I’m tired of hearing from idots who don’t actualy fly that this is no big deal.
CODE RED commented:
Everyone should oppose Obama’s tactics which are trampling the Constitution. No one is authorized to search some one without PROBABLE CAUSE. A 3 year-old girl with a teddy bear does not constitute probable cause for a search and seizure of her teddy bear. An avowed fanatic on a terror watch list who buys a one way ticket DOES provide probable cause for an invasive search. An illegal alien crossing the border should be detained and searched. Don’t you see what they are doing? They are using a loose interpretation of terror screening and applying it arbitrarily to law-abiding citizens. The real criminals are afforded more rights and deference. Pretty soon, Obama and his Gestapo troopers will be allowed to enter our homes without any probable cause. THIS MUST BE STOPPED. DO NOT PUT UP WITH THIS. Don’t fly. Don’t be radiated by these dangerous back scatter machines.
GrayRider commented:
Since 99.9% of terrorist acts in the world are conducted by Muslims (OK, ‘radical’ Islamists) but I digress. Since terrorist acts are conducted by Muslims, how about we profile and scrutinize this group of people…oh wait, the Israelis have been doing this for years and they have had a 100% seccess rate in preventing terrorist acts on their planes. So what are we doing…feeling up and peering through the clothes of everybody but who we should be scrutinizing.
Hmmm commented:
Considering the possibility that the TSA scanner/search outcry from the media is a double-move meant to get RFID chips and iris scanners accepted instead. Hmmm…
Barbara commented:
Having flown recently I can tell you just how degrading the experience is. I’m so glad my husband was with me. Pity the unescorted, attractive women! How on earth do mothers with young children cope?
Joanne commented:
John Stanford – a virtual strip search, not a literal strip search.
Joanne commented:
Obama spits on the U.S. Constitution – no one has been able to touch him and make him provide proof of his eligibility in Court, so he is going to go right on stomping on the U.S. Constitution all he likes.
CODE RED commented:
The libs scream bloody hell when three confirmed killers are waterboarded to save lives. But an old woman on vacation to see her grandkids, they TORTURE her and humiliate her by groping her in public while they also take creepy ‘naked’ pictures of a nun on a religious retreat. US airports have become a US version of Abu Ghraib for LAW-ABIDING citizens, while Gitmo criminals are given plush vacation homes in Bermuda and illegals are given full government benefits and tuition.
gus commented:
Libs have such a healthy attitude toward sex.
Ima commented:
Not only can they tell if you are mensrating but if you invert the colors on the body scan negatives you get full-color nude photos. The TSA (total sexual assault) agency lied….

gus commented:
Juan Williams said “I don’t care, as long as it keeps us safe”.
Was he talking about.
A) Listening to INT’L phone calls inbound to U.S. by known Terrorists?
B) Waterboarding admitted terrorists who are admittedly responsible for hundreds or thousands of American deaths?
or
C) Groping American citizens, or taking scans that display their sex organs.
gus commented:
But, Ima, the GOVERNMENT would never do that to you. Right?? Only under the evil BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH, would they violate you.
Mary commented:
I think it is important to note that it is not always an either/or. My 89 year old mother has had knee replacement surgery and has pins in her elbow from an injury. They put her through the screener and then they insist on the hand search because she set off the alarms. She also has a colostomy bag. They touch her all over that area and demand an explanation! Can you imagine the indignity? She is 89 for God’s sake!
MSO commented:
IMA @ 23
‘Not only can they tell if you are mensrating but if you invert the colors on the body scan negatives you get full-color nude photos.’
This is not true. The TSA scanners are density sensitive; they don’t even see light, let alone colors.
MSO commented:
Mary @ 28 ‘She also has a colostomy bag’
Imagine the turmoil the poor screener endures. Not only does the bag exceed 3.4 oz, but they have to accept whatever explanation your mother supplies.
gus commented:
So, either the Scanners (whose company got greased with Pork-u-lus-money) can or cannot detect whether a penis has been circumsized or whether a woman is menstruating or NOT.
But the CLAIRE McCaskill…… LOVE PAT…. would certainly allow a TSA functionary…(Obama wants them to UNIONIZE), to feel a Maxi-pad or NOT.
This is the LIBTARD conumdrum.
Listening to known TERRORISTS make Yemen-Chicago phone calls is OFF LIMITS for CONSTITUTIONAL REASONS. And libs ask for FISA COURT authorizations before profiling a Muzz.
MikeMose commented:
TSA is not looking for terrorist !!!!. They are the terrorist! The molestations gain great power over people. They are violating the public sexually to gain greater mind control over the population. Master intimidation tactics are now being used on the population the United States of America!!! Especially the younger generation!!
They will expand this as far into society as they far can get! This is the end of travel and quite possibly the end of a free country. They will control all travel and they will own the
Airlines as well! They are going for broke in my opinion. Obama has to implement his way ASAP. I’m thinking bigger that just another sector of the economy!
Unwarranted Search at every location. Once this is in place it will never be stopped!!!
“What’s next,” Doherty asked. “Train checkpoints? Bus checkpoints. Checkpoints when you buy gas?
This is a building block for the fascist government!!! Yes, Airline and the train travel industries will be acquired by the gov’t!
People are being sexual assaulted and that is the power over the population.
De Fund the TSA right now!!!

Barack Obama and the Democrats/CPUSA lost the election, so now they are abusing the people. He’s mentally ill, and that’s what prompted this. Hey, Hussein, where’s your long form birth certificate? You want to see and fell everyones private body parts, we want to see your papers, Mutt. These are very disgusting, sick people. They’ll be shoving people into gas chambers next.
theBuckWheat commented:
The entire goal of the Constitution was to “secure the blessings of liberty”. We are now securing the “blessings” of maximum government, which means zero liberty. Either you submit or you don’t travel. It is time that those in Washington submit.
Those who are willing to trade strip searches for their unalienable right of freedom of travel are welcome to do so. But not this free citizen
Lastly, I want to remind everyone that it was Sen. Schumer (Nazi- NY) who pushed federalization of airline security because to do was was supposed to make these people “more professional”. I can hardly wait until some of the 169 health care boards and commissions adopt the mindset we see in today “professional” TSA.
