I just don’t know what to say about this incompetent outfit. I’d blame the TSA workers, but really it’s the policies of the Obama administration and this idea that we can’t profile anything, that leads to this crap:

WASHINGTON TIMES – Transportation Security Administration inspectors forced a wounded Marine who lost both of his legs in an IED blast and who was in a wheelchair to remove his prosthetic legs at one point, and at another point to stand painfully on his legs while his wheelchair was examined, according to a complaint a congressman has registered with the TSA.

Rep. Duncan Hunter said in his letter Monday that the Marine, who is still on active duty and showed TSA agents his military identification, was still forced to undergo that scrutiny.

“A TSA office asked the Marine to stand and walk to an alternate area, despite the fact that he physically could not stand or walk on his own. With numerous TSA officers sitting and unwilling to assist, an officer then made him remove his legs, then put them back on, only to advance to a secondary screening location where he was asked again to stand, with extraordinary difficult, while his wheelchair was examined for explosives,” Mr. Hunter said.

He also said TSA officers initially directed the Marine to the wrong line, then made him move lines but made no effort to help him. The incident occurred at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor airport last week, as a group of Marines was returning to San Diego.

TSA obama thugs have no right to assault any American anywhere at any time.

Wanna stop them America? Stop flying or taking any public transportation. First do this over a holiday week-end and if after the week- end the TSA thugs are still in place, stop flying or transportation that employs TSA thugs for a few months and so forth and so on.

The TSA are idiots!  They frisked my tiny, fragile mother in law, who is 85 years old.  Then let a woman in a burqua go through!  More crap from the left, meant to do nothing but aggravate the innocent and reward guilty.  It's not about our safety, or they would do what is right and profile every Muslim going through!  Frisking injured soldiers and elderly ladies is a waste of everyone's time and humiliating to the law abiding citizen being put through it.  Muslims are laughing at our stupidity!

I don't believe there is an organization that is hated by more people than the TSA. The closest runner up would be 'Ma Bell' back before the government broke it up. It's also possible that people hate TSA more than the terrorists they purportedly are protecting us from. Just goes to show that some people should never be given ah-thar-i-tay over others.

I love all your anger on this.  It is understandable.  But this all part of a much bigger plan.  TSA is part of the New World Order.  Stay with me on this.   This is not a wacko alert.  The TSA is a tool the government is using, to break down the resistance you were born with, to other people controlling how you live.  It was a test, and its been hugely successful.

It was a test of your belief in Freedom, and you failed the test.  You did not  object to it.  You went along.  You did what they expected you  to do.  And now, it is set in concrete.  You can't go back and correct the mistake.  This is how they do it.  This is how it  works.

Throughout history, people have died in huge numbers to attain personal Freedom.  Because we live in such a comfortable environment, The United States of America,  we think it can't be taken away from us.  Here's a wakeup call for you.  It can.  Actually,  its happening right now.  Obama was sent here to deliver that message to you.

I hope you are listening.

@white531 While I agree with you on the real reason for this crap, they have the citizens between a rock and a hard place here.  You don't board the flight unless you go through this humiliation.  Unless you get every single person in the airport to refuse along with you, you're screwed.  If you refuse, you don't get your money back for your ticket either.  They just dump your butt out the door.  This is c?learly a case of government abusing the people under the premise of our safety, just like gun control is a farce too!  This one got through on the fears of citizens after 9/11, and is another golden example of bad legislation based on feelings, not logic.  If it were based on logic, we would only be frisking those that fit the terrorist profile.

If millions of Americans refused to fly or take any transportation that employs TSA thugs for a time frame we could financially devastate the airlines and the airlines would put pressure on the government. Let's take our power back, America.

Meanwhile back at the airport they are trying to get pocket knives back on the list of allowed items.  WTF?????  If they hadn't allowed those box cutters to go through on 9-11 there wouldn't have been a problem.  So it is evident that this is not about safety and never was, it is about control.

@kimber1911 kimber, please don't  make the mistake of treating these people like the average dumb government worker.  They're not.  While the individual employees of the TSA may be dumb as a post, like most employees on the governement payroll, the greater management of the TSA has a purpose.  A most serious purpose. The guiding purpose of the TSA, is to break the will of the American people, and groom them to accept government control of their lives.  Socialism.  Pure and simple.

Phoenix Sky Harbor airport should tell the TSA to go F themselves and get off the property ASAP. From that moment forward the airport can hire a private company of their choosing to screen passengers.

It is indeed soul crushing.  It is also mind numbing.  I cannot believe that my fellow Americans put up with this crap.  There are so many better ways to accomplish the same thing without doing what they are doing.  It has nothing to do with safety when they allow the Muslims to go through unmolested.  I will not fly until they stop this nonsense.  I can't believe that passengers that have to fly and have no other choice think they are being kept safe.  They aren't.
