The line gets pushed further

Here's how an elderly, ill woman was treated by the TSA:

She said her mother was first pulled aside into a glass-partitioned area and patted down. Then she was taken to another room to protect her privacy during a more extensive search, Weber said.

Weber said she sat outside the room during the search.

She said security personnel then came out and told her they would need for her mother to remove her Depends diaper because it was soiled and was impeding their search.

Are you angry, yet?

  1. Kat this story seems completely unbelievable, and yet, I saw it posted on Lew's site as well as Forbes': http://blogs.forbes.com/erikkain/2011/06/27/95-year-old-woman-forced-to-remove-adult-diaper-by-tsa-agents/

    So, I hope that everyone will repost this story in as many places as possible, and think about the industry you support if you fly commercially.
