WTF, TSA? Seriously?

I’ve written before about my hatred for the TSA, and they just seem to continue giving me fodder.

The news isn’t even two-weeks old yet about this travel nightmare: A 95-year-old woman was forced to remove her adult diaper during airport screening:

While going through the airport’s security checkpoint, a TSA officer performed a pat down on Weber’s mother, Weber told CNN. After an officer felt something “suspicious” on her leg, Weber’s mother was taken into a private room for further inspection. The officer then told Weber that her mother’s Depend undergarment was soiled and prevented a complete pat down from being done. The officer asked for it to be removed, which Weber did in a restroom.

“It’s something I couldn’t imagine happening on American soil,” Weber told the Panama City News-Herald Friday. “Here is my mother, 95 years old, 105 pounds, barely able to stand, and then this.”

And now these bumbling morons have allowed a Nigerian man to board a plane in New York with a forged boarding pass and somebody else’s I.D. Apparently the man was held for questioning after he landed in Los Angeles, but was released. He was later arrested after attempting to board a plan in Los Angeles, again with a forged boarding pass. The man was allegedly in possession of no less than 10 other boarding passes in the names of other people.

For all of the invasive searches and humiliation we should probably feel much safer than we do for it.
