TSA Pats Down Cancer-Stricken 95-Year-Old Woman, Removes Adult Diaper
June 20th 2011
TSA Gestapo officers at Florida's Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport patted down a cancer-stricken, 95-year-old woman and forcibly removed her adult diaper during the search.
Jean Weber was traveling with her ill mother on June 18 from Florida to Michigan to see relatives during the final stages of her mother's battle with leukemia when the incident occurred.
A Suspiciously "Wet and Firm" Diaper
While passing through security, TSA officials "felt something suspicious and they couldn't determine what it was," so they took Weber's mother to a private room.
A TSA agent told Weber that her mother's Depends underwear was "wet and firm and they couldn't check it thoroughly," so the mother-daughter duo left in search of a bathroom to remove the underwear. Weber did not have an extra pair of Depends with her.
Weber "burst into tears" but her mother was "very calm" even though she was forced to go through the airport without underwear. Her elderly mother was taken to the boarding gate without her as Weber was still going through security.
In response to the incident, the TSA Gestapo said on Sunday that "While every person and item must be screened before entering the secure boarding area, TSA works with passengers to resolve security alarms in a respectful and sensitive manner. We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure."
The TSA will leave no turd unexamined in its mission to keep America safe.
