Rape Survivor Devastated by TSA Enhanced Pat Down | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1141935 Canada 11/10/2010 01:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WHAT WOULD YOU DO???? Quoting: Just Speak[link to wildhunt.org] Coming back from Chicago, Celeste, like increasing numbers of travelers, was forced to make a difficult choice – either allow strangers to see her naked or allow strangers to touch and squeeze her breasts and groin in full view of other travels and TSA agents. “This was a nightmare come to life,” Celeste says, “I said I didn’t want them to see me naked and the agent started yelling Opt out- we have an opt here. Another agent took me aside and said they would have to pat me down. He told me he was going to touch my genitals and asked if I wouldn’t rather just go through the scanner, that it would be less humiliating for me. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe this was happening. I kept saying I don’t want any of this to happen. I was whispering please don’t do this, please, please.” Since Celeste didn’t agree to go through the scanner, the enhanced pat down began. “He started at one leg and then ran his hand up to my crotch. The cupped and patted my crotch with his palm. Other flyers were watching this happen to me. At that point I closed my eyes and started praying to the Goddess for strength. He also cupped and then squeezed my breasts. That wasn’t the worst part. He touched my face, he touched my hair, stroking me. That’s when I started crying. It was so intimate, so horrible. I feel like I was being raped. There’s no way I can fly again. I can’t do it.” The TSA has said that travelers will receive the pat downs by same sex TSA agents, but both Celeste and other flyers have refuted this. (See linked stories below) She said that fellow travelers, after seeing what happened to her were more willing to go through the full body scanner. She noticed some, with small children, left the security line, refusing to put their children through the scanner or allow an adult to touch them that way. “What they did to me was criminal. I feel they are doing that demeaning of a body search to coerce others into going though the scanners. They made it as horrible as possible as a lesson to others, let me see you naked or I will touch you like I touched her.” Sorry to sound mean but jesus, EITHER SUE THEM OR |

For all of you stupid fucks Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1088369I say we set a special airline just for you...no checks no requirements for pilots...your free to do what you want with the exception that the plane may only fly over wide open spaces....so that when it goes down or someone blows it up, only your dumbasses will die. You are a real piece of work! What a pathetic little person you are. Sounds like you didn't get enough hugs growing up! Some people have never flown before and this would be a shock to them, I am sure. I have never flown and not sure that really want to now! Where is your compassion? Look deep down in your heart...wait a minute...maybe you don't have one! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1047610 United States 11/10/2010 05:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what..she didnt understand travel procedures?...nobody Quoting: Just Speakforced you to fly. Nobody tells you this shit before you fly. you have to read stories like this to find out! Consumer Traveler also agrees that this type of pat down is meant as a punishment: However, when meeting with privacy officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and TSA later that month, I was told unofficially that there were two standards of pat-downs. One for the normal situation where passengers are going through metal detectors and a different pat-down for those who refuse to go through the whole-body scanners. With this latest announcement, TSA admits that it has been clandestinely punishing passengers for refusing to go through the invasive whole-body scans with an even more intrusive aggressive pat-down and that soon those more invasive pat-down will creep from airport to airport. [link to www.consumertraveler.com] US law enforcement use anal rape of men by prisoners as punishment, too. They think sexual torture is funny. Public employees like talking adult porn to your kids in public schools, too. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1047610 United States 11/10/2010 05:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm a male that recently got groped because I'm a diabetic and wear an insulin pump. I guess being a white middle aged man with an insulin pump fits the profile. Anyway, I noticed at New Orleans coming home that they chose people to randomly go through the body scanner and what I saw was only young shapely females were made to go through the scanner. All of them were required to hole their hands and arms over their heads making their supple breasts look that much more inviting. Someone needs to stop this crap! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1159192Perverts. We should put them in jail where they once giggled amongst themselves about men being anally raped by pervert prisoners. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1047610 United States 11/10/2010 05:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | are you so fucking stupid that you do not check into procedures before traveling?...seriously if you are too Quoting: Just Speakstupid to check into it then I have zero sympathy for you AC, if and when I fly, I know not to take certain things with me.. including explosives, and weapons. I know that I am subject to search like anybody else, for my safety and that of everyone else. I know what times we live in- there are some sick fucks out there who'd like nothing more than to blow me to bits because I'm an American. I get that, and I am grateful that they go to MOST measures that they do, to keep me safe. But this is a fucking outrage. I might know in advance that I'm going to have to remove my shoes, or go through a metal detector, and these days it's pretty much a given that you'll be subjected to a full body xray. But what if I don't want to go through their machine? Ok, I get a pat down. A pat down does not equal what amounts to being molested in front of an airport full of people. These people are NOT law enforcement, therefore how the fuck do they have any right to touch my genitals? Explain that to me. BS. Just cause you are a paranoid freak does not mean the rest of the country wants to be molested to make you feel safer. They have gone too far in so many ways. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1047610 United States 11/10/2010 05:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is ridiculous of the airline industry and HLS to not think about crime victims needs when employing these so called security techniques. Quoting: HickoryI thought perhaps some of these people were professionals. This shows once again that they mentally miss so many serious aspects in their decisions when dealing with people. If the pilots hate this and many are protesting that it feels like molestation and or an unhealthy naked body scan then think (and they should have) how persons that are trying to heal from crimes somehow if they can feel about this? Sometimes it is good to travel to heal and many may need to move yet they are subject to more abuse if they attempt to. victims? how the hell are they victims? this is the procedure and if you dont like it then she should have left....nobody is forcing you to fly.....sick of everyone claiming to be victims..... Sorry to say this is the truth. Those are the rules you have to follow when you fly. Everybody knows this. If you have a problem with them, don't fly. Lots of other options out there. We have the right, as non terrorists and non criminals to fly on airplanes w/o the government sexually molesting us and hitting us with radiation. You might like submitting to whatever abuse they heap on you but that is a personal problem you have in your warped personality. |
Frankenstein User ID: 952673 United States 11/10/2010 06:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This "invasive" pat down search is the same search any police officer can perform any time they want (a Terry Search). If you're just now offended by this, you're a fucking retard. These types of searches have been going on for YEARS, just not by the TSA. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1096472No, you're the fucking retarded. There is a difference between someone being suspected of a crime by a police officer and people trying to catch their flight... where passengers are ALL considered guilty until proven otherwise by either being electronically stripped or sexualy assaulted... businessmen, wives, girlfriends, college students, grandma, granddad, and little 7 year old daughters...
