TSA Humiliates 95-Year-Old Grandma with Cancer, Forces Her to Strip off Depends As She Cries
TSA has forced a 95-year-old grandmother to do a stripshow for them, her cancer ridden body trembling as she cried from utter humiliation as agents forced her to strip naked, even taking off her depends.
The sweet grandmother, Ms. Weber, said the screeners forced her to strip off past her Depends as she was going through a security checkpoint.
Weber said the ordeal started when a checkpoint agent was groping her in her private regions, when the agent stated her crotch did not feel right. At this point, the agent informed the 95-year-old she would have to strip off her Depends and undergo terror screening.
Weber reports, “I said ‘I don’t have an extra one with me, normally this isn’t a problem’”, but the agent did not care. Now creating a scene, several agents informed Weber that she would need to strip or face legal action and have no chance to board her flight. The agents then escorted Weber to a public restroom where they forced her to remove her Depends and physically removed the adult diaper from Weber’s body.
One agent reported, “I had to leave the security area and take her to a public restroom there in the airport and take it off of her”.
Onlookers said the grandmother was crying and visibly shaken.
Naturally, Weber’s family is furious and TSA is recalcitrant.
Jean Weber, the daughter, filed a formal complaint and released the following statement:
“It’s something I couldn’t imagine happening on American soil,” Jean Weber said. “Here is my mother, 95 years old, 105 pounds, barely able to stand, and then this.”
In response to the outrage, TSA spokeswoman Sari Koshetz said, “TSA cannot exempt any group from screening because we know from intelligence that there are terrorists out there that would exploit that vulnerability.”
To that I say, how many 95-year-old white American grandmothers have terrorized you today. This is the biggest bunch of crock political correctness and when you look at it, half the TSA agents look like ghetto scum who are making a career move from the Poor City Penitentiary food service to Mcdonalds, then to a fast-track career at TSA. There are no way these rude, outlandish people are qualified to screen terrorists. Just look at half the ‘agents’ and you’ll see another welfare scheme of lazy people claiming to work, when in reality they are harassing good Americans.
This is all a travesty and further proof that our freedoms are being stripped away, search by search.

This is terrible but I must ask: what would your opinion be if the 95-year-old grandma had been Middle Eastern-looking or wearing a hijab?

Anyone covered from head to toe in an all enveloping costume, needs to be searched, or at least sent thru the scanner. I don’t care if it is a burka, or a clown costume. A frail, dying cancer patient in a wheelchair? or a 5 year old child or Rhianna? Not so much. And yes, a middle eastern look SHOULD be examined slightly more closely. IMHO.

TSA would NEVER do this to a Middle Eastern looking woman with or without the hijab, because Muslim Americans, CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and the rabid left would scream bloody murder, and every news outlet would blast this story over and over, and condemn the TSA.
Have you heard of ONE story in which ANY Muslim has been fondled, stripped, or held against their will by the TSA?
Of course not.
TSA doesn’t make us any safer as they “randomly” search every 4th or 5th elder, child, or disabled passenger, while they purposely avoid any passenger that might scream that they are being profiled.
Even if common sense should prevail since Islamic peoples are the most prolific and dangerous terror vendors in the world.
TSA must be dismantled, and our constitutional liberties restored.

Oh, I’m sure they told your parents they “did nothing wrong”, and “the 95 year old disabled passenger” lied. After all, every 95 year old wants to engage in a lawsuit, spend thousands of dollars and lots of time to do so, just to “get the TSA”
Doesn’t pass the sniff test. This case is only one among thousands of cases of TSA impropriety.
Get real.

I suppose anything really is possible because for once I agree with Claire.
I agree this is strong evidence for profiling the Muslims. I would rather see those that appear shifty and fit a paradigm for threats stripped and kept off the plane than see a cancer ridden Gran’ma given such humiliation.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. you do not i repeat YOU DO NOT!!!!! get to complain that people are doing what YOU DEMANDED they do. they upped security. you demanded they upped security.
what if this 95 year old happen to be a terrorist? what will you do the day one of these people get trough and blow you loved ones sky high and security let them trough because “oh he wasn’t brown or black i though it was imposible for him to do stuff like this”.
yes if a person matches up witha description of a know terrorist be extra therough. “sligthly more dark skinned and muslim” however is not a description. following that logic since there’s most likely a male person on the run at the moment every male guy ever should checked.
just because you are too retardet to see the difrence in middel estern people does not excuse raceism.

Your logic is…well, non-existent. Is it racism for a cop to report the description of a perpetrator as “black” or “white”?
By your logic, descriptions of race to enable the capture of criminals would also be racist.
We have been attacked by Muslim terrorists, of Arabic descent, on planes, ships and on our own soil. Of course we are going to be more suspicious of people who fit that profile. Israel suffers attacks on a daily basis from Muslims. They don’t fondle, strip, or X-Ray passengers. They PROFILE. And by profiling, they manage to keep their air flights relatively safe.
The bottom line is, NO AMERICAN, regardless of race, religion or creed, should have their constitutional rights to be secure in their own persons, safe from illegal search and seizure, violated.

Why can’t the airlines work with the TSA to create two classes of flights – ones that undergo rigorous security screenings, and flights that require NO screening at all.
People would then be free to choose which flight they wanted to take, and opt-out of security screenings if they felt it was too invasive.
Works for me. But then again, I don’t expect government to implement anything akin to a simple solution.
