It Goes On and On and On...

Cancer survivor is asked to show her prosthetic breast during a TSA screening. To be fair, flight attendants do have access to more of the plane than typical citizens, but very rarely have any access whatsoever to the cockpit throughout the flight. I do suppose that some sort of weapon could be stored in place of her breasts and thus requires screening.

This, though, appears to be a greater violation of privacy than others encounters with the TSA.

She must:

1) admit that her breast is a prosthetic

2) recount a time that is very possibly difficult for her to talk about and

3) actually present said fake breast so that it can be known that it is not a bomb or weapon.

All of this to do...her job...not to travel...but to do her job.

Has this gotten out of hand?

Disgusting...3 Year Old Searched by the TSA

I'm not sure how you feel about National Security, but something tells me that this 3 year old didn't pose much of a threat. You can see the video here.

It literally made me sick to my stomach to see it.

I don't know the details, and all we are doing is taking this reporter's word for it, but this just seems disgusting.

The next question is, or perhaps should be, when will all of the media backlash force the TSA to reexamine these new x-ray machines?  How will they decided what constitutes too much?

If you'd like another story, read this account of the man who refused the new x-ray machines and the "groping".

What a world we live in.
