Obama’s TSA Agents Force 95 Year-Old Grandma With Leukemia to Remove Diaper at Airport
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, June 26, 2011, 2:27 PM
The Obama Administration continues its assault on the American people.
(histerio)
It’s an Obama world…
A 95 year-old woman with leukemia was forced by Obama TSA agents to remove her diaper at an airport in Florida last weekend.
The Daily News reported:
A woman has filed a complaint with federal authorities over how her elderly mother was treated at Northwest Florida Regional Airport last weekend.
Jean Weber of Destin filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security after her 95-year-old mother was detained and extensively searched last Saturday while trying to board a plane to fly to Michigan to be with family members during the final stages of her battle with leukemia.
Her mother, who was in a wheelchair, was asked to remove an adult diaper in order to complete a pat-down search.
“It’s something I couldn’t imagine happening on American soil,” Weber said Friday. “Here is my mother, 95 years old, 105 pounds, barely able to stand, and then this.”
Sari Koshetz, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration in Miami, said she could not comment on specific cases to protect the privacy of those involved.
“The TSA works with passengers to resolve any security alarms in a respectful and sensitive manner,” she said.

How many Muslims have the TSA searched? Zero, I guarantee it. If they had you’d never hear the end of the screaming and wailing.

They are giving animals the rights that Americans used to enjoy, and treating us like animals.
Incompitano said you can’t use common sense when “protecting” Americans. The hag had no common sense to begin with. She’s a perfect match for that moron in the white house.

Good to know that the unions’ errand boy has turned national security over to Neanderthals.
Too bad she wasn’t wearing a burka. She would have sailed right through.
Joanne commented:
Refuse to fly, refuse to fly, refuse to fly – the power is with the people, but if you don’t use your power, then the communist terrorists in charge will push and push until they get their way – just like children throwing a tantrum until they get their way. When my children acted up, I got madder and my resolve more solidified – they knew it was no use because I wasn’t going to give in and the end result would be worse for them. People need to get a backbone.
The TSA treating this elderly woman like she is some kind of criminal after probably living all her 95 years in the United States, because some moron commie and his useful idiots have taken over, is beyond tolerable.

Dear Secretary Napolitano, when was the last time you heard of 95 year old, wheelchair bound grannies blowing up buildings?
toongoon commented:
When is the force we have against this administration, our representatives, going to make a stand against this assault?
The RNC sent me a form asking my opinion about what was happening in the country followed by yes or no answers. I answered all of their questions but when they asked; “Would you like to donate to the republican party?” the only option was “Yes. I had draw my own box that said “Hell no, not until I see you start standing up for the American people”.
That was three weeks ago and I haven’t heard anything back from them, so I guess as an american citizen who refuses to dump money into their coffers, I am unimportant to them. Kinda the same thing I would expect from the democrat party. If I donate it will be to a specific candidate, when she decides to run

This is unconscionable and abusive. This has got to stop. Congress needs to step in here. How would they like this happening to their mother or grandmother.

“The TSA works with passengers to resolve any security alarms in a respectful and sensitive manner,” she said.
These are ridiculous statements from this woman. Since when do you respect anyone’s privacy, and since when do you treat Americans in a respectful and sensitive manner. You are violating every American’s rights. You have hired people with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood to work in your agency, and I think it’s a purposeful attempt to abuse Americans. I think this is a ploy by the Jihadists and the left to abuse Americans. I’m going to send this to Dr. Rand Paul and my representative Dr. Andy Harris. This is an outrage. This woman is in the final stages in her life, and she deserves to be treated with respect. SHUT THIS DAMN AGENCY DOWN. CAN BOEHNER DO ANYTHING? HE IS LETTING OBAMA VICTIMIZE THIS COUNTRY. I’VE HAD IT!!!!
aprilnovember811 commented:
This is not a legitimate government. This is a criminal conspiracy. Everyone, my husband is a Captain for a major airline. I appreciate that people fly so we have a livelihood, but I must tell you, stop flying until this abuse stops. If you stop flying the airlines will step in. If you continue to allow this abuse it will continue.
This Congress steps in when someone needs to sit on the tarmac for delays, but daily they are allowing the violation of our fourth amendment rights. Stop letting them do this.
Please read this. The Governors and citizens need to stop obeying any laws set fourth by this corrupt, disgusting, illegitimate government. When will people stop allowing this. Obama is a street thug who represents the worst elements of society. HE DESERVES NO ONES RESPECT. THIS ILLEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT DESERVES NO RESPECT. QUIT ALLOWING THIS ABUSE. FOR GOD’S SAKE, THESE SANE GOVERNORS NEED TO STEP IN AND TELL THIS GANG OF HOODLUMS THIS WON’T BE PERMITTED IN THEIR STATES ANYMORE.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY, NOT A POLITICAL PARTY
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
Thursday, 02 June 2011
On Tuesday (5/31), Ron Paul announced that “we are on the verge of having way too much dictatorship in Washington, D.C.” Verge? Verge??
The time is way past for verging. Our Federal Government has already become a dictatorship run by a criminal conspiracy calling itself a political party – just as the totalitarian conspiracy of Islamism calls itself a religion.
We owe no respect whatever to a fascist ideology posing as a religion – and we owe no respect whatever to a criminal gang posing as a political party.
The time is way past for ending the charade. If it is not ended now – if the Democrat Gang retains the White House in 2012 – then game over for America.
We’ll itemize a few of the legion of examples of the Gang’s criminality – but at the outset, let’s clearly state the purpose here.
It is of mortal importance for our future that we deny legitimacy to the Democrats. They are not a legitimate political party advocating legitimate political goals. They are a collection of looters, gangsters, thugs, extortionists, hustlers, shakedown specialists, scam artists, smooth-talking con-men, and mafiosi. All banded together to steal our money and control our lives with guns.

Just another day for a government-run, government-unionized agency. They learned how to abuse at the feet of the DMV and IRS.
Barry campaigned on making government work better, and he has. For government workers.

Looks like there might be a racial component. Last time I was at Midway Airport I noted TSA agents of a certain persuasion seemd to have a lot of white haired old ladies in jogging suits pulled aside while the brothers skated on through.
Fascist democrats commented:
Americans must face harsh reality – the democrat party of old is utterly unrecognizable, having been twisted in the 1990s by decrepit 60s radicals into a party with fascistic tendencies, which become more overt and more oppressive by the day in hands of Obama’s administration of marxist dunces. TSA’s oppressive and outrageous conduct is just one manifestation, you can find a similar combination of extremism and idiocy in nearly every government department.
Vote every democrat out until the party purges the 60s radicals, and returns to a balanced centrist orientation.

Horrible! And when that Arab acts suspiciously on the plane and passengers notice and report it, the passengers are blamed and ostracized for being “Islamophobic” and even prosecuted.
We seriously need to take the country back. I greatly fear that t might be too late.
TXPatriot commented:
PRIVACY?!!!!! Is she freaking kidding? They do this to a 95-year-old SICK woman, and then expect us to believe they are not releasing details to maintain her privacy?!
Think for a minute, people. What ELSE did that woman have to take off to get the diaper off. This is ELDER ABUSE! Can you imagine a nursing home doing this to patients and getting away with it?
This must stop. NOW!

The primary mission of the TSA is not the safety of our airlines and air travel it is the destruction of the airlines. Nobody can be this stupid by accident it can only be done by design. So as soon as we get rid of this administration and clean up the congress this country will get well again. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough of this “Hope and Change”.

….filed a complaint huh? Alright, check the donor lists and find out if she gave the max. If so, send her an apology but remind her we did it for her own good and this is what she voted for. Be sure to ask for another donation. Make it a gentle reminder. Have her address handwritten.

RE #17; Government elites consider it a much better result to have a plane flown into a building than to have an obviously false allegation of “Raaacism” lodged by a 27 yr old moslem male muttering allah akbar that was “discriminated” against. Remember in Obama’s eyes, moslem good, infidel bad.

iven the # of terror attacks by 105 lb 95 year old women with Leukemia I certainly understand this TSA strip search
Rock commented:
As sickening as this is, it is nothing but another slight of hand while WTF and crew destroy the nation. While we bemoan the disgusting actions of TSA, the Justice Department, A.T.F., Holder, and big Sis are trying to divert attention from the Gun Walker scandal. They fear the full story getting out for no other reason that not only will it damage WTF administration, but more importantly could result in jail time for some people in high places. Given how effective piling it on during the Weinergate days was, maybe daily updates across the Conservative blog arena is now required to motivate the LSM to catch up. Soros is but one man and his age works for us not his lap dog media hounds.
Fionnagh commented:
Go read some of the comments posted with the original article. Some of the posters are perhaps more sick than what the TSA did. To those ludicrous posters I can only say:
PROFILE! PROFILE! PROFILE!
Billy Bear commented:
Yes, this seems bad from everyone’s perspective, blaming Obama for this type of stuff seems the norm amongst you all, but if McCain/Palin were in charge, do you think TSA rules would have been changed? I don’t think so, but you all will rant I am wrong, so whatever.
The first time a plane get’s blown up because TSA doesn’t do a thorough search of an elderly woman in diapers who actually has explosives strapped to her, or anything else that might slipped through because of more relaxed rules due to your whining, you all will start bitching on how Obama’s TSA isn’t doing their jobs. I hope that doesn’t happen, but that is how you folks roll. Nothing will ever please you about Obama, except him not being our President. I wish I knew how this deep-seated hatred toward our President feels, along with it’s underlying reasons, but then again, maybe not.
Good night and good luck folks!

gorgo commented:
The regime knows the ONE card we have left to play* is one (they’re betting) will not be played because far too few Americans even realize we could, even if at great cost to ourselves, and even fewer would probably be willing. The regime is betting there just aren’t enough of us to MAKE them stop; that the majority will devolved from citizens into neutered, surly but harmless grumblers like the majority in England today.
And as time goes on and the more I hear – not of government and the left – but of what average Americans are like these days, I fear the regime has bet wisely.

Yes. The first time a plane “get’s” blown up because TSO didn’t do a thorough search of an elderly American woman in diapers . . . who actually has explosives strapped to her.
Well now. What else can we worry about?

i honestly cant belive that, while people who actually could be terrorists waltz right through security, the TSA turns to elderly people in wheel chairs and CHILDREN t ostrip search. this is most defenitly NOT RIGHT!
arnonerik commented:
Sari Koshetz, the TSA spokesperson is just mouthing the official TSA line of B.S..
If they cared about anyones privacy they would not have been in this poor sick woman’s diaper. The point of their policy is to de-humanize us just like the Nazi’s did to their Jewish victims by making them strip before they murdered them.

I am waiting for Americans to actually take an action to turn around the Progressive/Socialist takeover of their country.
America is such a mess!
Joanne commented:
#35 Billy Bear – you are an idiot. Since when do old ladies wearing diapers blow things up? When? I’ll tell you when…..NEVER!!!! The terrorists are all muslims and where is the outrage from them for being molested and photographed in the nude. There isn’t any outrage, because it isn’t happening to them. How does the TSA keep America safe when they aren’t even screening the muslims properly?
Joanne commented:
Everyone needs to ask themselves, why are the TSA profiling old ladies and children? Why are they failing to profile and screen muslims? The enemy is in the house, and the only way to kick them out is to make them.
I agree with #10, aprilnovember811. Does anyone wonder why no one will speak up about Obama’s fraudulent long-form and short birth certificates? FEAR, FEAR, FEAR!!!

I think we have all moved beyond outrage. This gang of thugs that control the government has put us on overload. It is now accepted as normal. We sit helpless.
THIS should be put in our ELECTED officials faces. They should not go to their meeting at the WH. They need to get on the floor and on the TVs all week. They need to shout about it until they can pass a PROFILING bill.
We have a problem folks and our ONLY solution rests with those USELESS NITWITS we elect.

Fascist democrats commented:
Whomever the Republican nominee is, I hope he/she is smart enough to include in their campaign promises a commitment to disband the TSA, returning security to state and local governments, along with a commitment to respect the 4th Amendment, abandon TSA’s crude security theatre in favor of profiling for terrorists, as that has the benefits of being effective, while avoiding outrages such as this. We must recall that these outrageous acts by an unaccountable and fascistic government are being repeated on an industrial scale across the country.
I expect this kind of abuse and depravity from democrats, but why oh why would GW Bush organize the TSa and federalize this area, you could see how it was certain to lead to abuse and achieve nothing more than ‘security theater’. Yet another area where he should have known better…

Writing your Senator or Representative won’t do one bit of good. I was in the travel business for over 20 years. I wrote a 4 page letter to Rep. Mica (who is one the Transportation Committee) concerning the TSA. I wrote the letter last December and I am still waiting for a response. I would love to organize and lobby but do not know how to go about it.
Robert commented:
Ultimately, everyone who objects must answer this challenge:
Would you rather see planes bombed in flight? Would you rather your loved ones were killed? Would you rather die than be subjected to this violation?
These are the questions that must be pushed out into the public conversation. The answer to these questions will be the answer to the government’s rationale for this travesty.
If this tyranny is stopped, and then a successful attack occurs, all you will hear will be that these unconstitutional searches would have prevented it.
Do not look to Republican politicians to miraculously reverse this trashing of the Constitution. They will consider exactly what I have said here, and they will not put themselves at risk by speaking out on this issue.

#62…………I do not accept that. Who has been doing the bad? Granny wearing a diaper? I consider she was abused by our gov. Shame. Have they no shame? No, she did not have to fly…………..maybe just ride her chair. Why the ****are they not profiling? It’s not exactly a secret who has been attacking us.
This is like the beatings and the mob attacks. Let’s just all tiptoe around instead of saying they are black. Profile, arrest, send every one of those dear children to jail regardless of their ages. Put hate crime charges (yeah, stupid law but they insisted) and bury any of them even close to adult in prison. Enough. And yes, I can easily vote Herman Cain in a heartbeat. He wouldn’t put up with it.

Not flying is nowhere near enough. TSA is searching people at bus and train stations now. There have even been one or two incidents of checkpoints for drivers, and they have stated this is going to ramp up. TSA must be slapped down hard, or this nonsense is only going to get worse. Business owners, refuse to serve TSA employees. Do NOT allow illegal searches, refuse and resist if necessary. Do not fly, and do NOT allow a search anywhere else by TSA personnel unless they have a warrant. Civil disobedience may be the next step. We cannot tamely submit to the budding police state.

I cannot possibly be the only person who saw this disgusting bit of publicized dishonesty.

@#62 — Do the words, “innocent until proven guilty” mean NOTHING to you? There is a very fine line between liberty and security. You appear to prefer the security side – which is just fine and dandy, you’re a grown-up and you can do that – but don’t push that on the rest of us, and don’t expect the rest of us to meekly surrender our beloved liberties just because you still break out in a cold sweat each night thinking about the monsters under the bed and in the closet.

All you need is one jihadi with one bomb on a subway train in NYC during rush hour.
What then? TSA in the subway? On bus stations? At every school and kindergarten?
It doesn’t work that way.
Who is planting the bombs? Who wants to kill everything that is not part of his ideology?

Billy Bear is right in one aspect. I dont see the republicans outraged over this. A handful maybe but for the most part both sides of the aisle are to blame and both have been stripping our liberty away one bill at a time. They have us so busy fighting with each other no one is paying attention to the fox(big govt) in the hen house. Its time for an airline boycott. We the people vs the criminals in Washington. Then its time for term limits…holding office was never meant by our founders to be a career. Wake up people.

If you have any intellectual curiosity at all, you can keep reading for the hard data on the very real harm this President’s administration, along with a very bad Congress, has done to our economy. People who love their country and understand the economic and liberal political principles that formed our dynamic, open society, hate the results this President has obtained. Even this President has admitted dismay at his results, when he joked about his surprise that there is no such thing as a “shovel-ready” project.
People who at their wits’ end over policies they know are continuing to cause and prolong disaster in a country they love just might be moved to say harsh things about the figurehead for such a disaster.
As John McCain correctly observed: “How could such a young man have so many old, bad ideas?”

I merely bring up points that need to be exposed, points that will hinder the removal of this policy. In fact, this policy will be incredibly difficult to remove for just this reason. Go read #62 again. Very few politicians will expose themselves to the possibility of removing this policy and then having to explain to the media any deaths that might result.
And, these points would indeed be pushed by advocates of the current regime.
Just sitting here squawking about it without thinking is doing nobody any good.
Robert commented:
For the record, in addition to chasing after jihadis, I advocate retaliation against any associated mosques, clerics, their homes and places of other business. If that fails to produce a change in the acceptability of terrorism to the moslems, then the number of targets would escalate exponentially until the problem was solved.
MamaGrizzly commented:
Security theater.
Yes: REFUSE TO FLY. Until the airlines feel it, it will continue.
You know, it is possible to blow up a plane with explosive liquid the amount of the top of your thumb, concealed in the body surgically. Even the 3oz. rule is idiotic. You could bring down many planes with that amount. Sheesh. Everyone KNOW THAT right? That’s all I’m going to say. Research it for yourselves. This is no more about security than Obama is about America.
This TSA stuff is all totally stupid and is Obama’s backdoor method of developing his civilian “force.” Do it through the airline industry under the guise of “safety.
Just sayin’.
Oh, and anyone who opposes this will be categorized as the “threat”–those right-wing Christian extremists like the Tea Party.

In the last month my 68 year old grey haired wife with a knee replacement and a prosthetic breast because of a mastectomy has gone through four TSA security checks. They were neither respectful or sensitive.
At Phoenix she had to go through the body scanner and then a FULL body pat-down afterwards.

Both DHS and TSA were created by W. Bush back in Nov of ’01. They’ve been at it since then.
Why are you people blaming Obama for TSA? TSA is part of DHS and that organization was in place before Obama got elected. Let’s be fair OK?
Conservatives rail against “intrusive big government” and talk about getting rid of Dept of Education, Dept of Agriculture and other things but NEVER mention getting rid of Dept of Homeland Security. This one is the most ridiculous of them all but get’s off without mention while what it does is blamed on Obama.
Hey I’d like to hear you republicans talking about dumping DHS for a change. If republicans are the party of freedom lets be free from DSH like we used to be.
