  • Alec Baldwin’s TSA Twitter Tirade

    Alec Baldwin isn’t a happy camper. On his way back from the Bahamas with wife and 5-month-old daughter, the actor took to Twitter to explain why his trip back from the Bahamas wasn’t full of sunshine.

    On the flight back to the U.S. he found himself a little aggravated with the TSA, saying that his daughter Carmen was selected for a pat down.

    It turns out however that Baldwin didn’t exactly point the finger at the right people during his Twitter tirade.

    A Homeland Security official contacted NBC News to tell them that the TSA doesn’t do screenings in the Bahamas because they are not part of the United States contradicting Baldwin’s angry hashtag.

    Instead, the group of islands are considered its own country leaving the screenings to the Nassau Airport Authority.

    Baldwin tried to make it right by once again addressing the TSA through Twitter saying, “So the people that patted down my daughter were not TSA, though we were inbound to the US. Got it. Got it. No, really…. I got it.”

  • TSA Searches Wheelchair Bound Child

    This three-year-old boy on is way to Disneyland is treated like a suspected terrorist as TSA personel pat him down and swab his wheelchair for explosive residue. The child is taken to a sequestered area to undergo rigorous inspection by the TSA staff.

    His parents and family members are forced to look on as the child trembles with fear. They are instructed that they cannot come in contact with the boy during the process, making it impossible to console him. His sister rushes over to pat him on the head, seeing that her brother is visible shaken.

    His siblings ask if he is okay, and the boy cries for his mother when the TSA agent says he has to swab his cast and wheelchair. His father is livid.

    This is just the latest in a long list of terrifying and humiliating experiences Americans are forced to go through every day for the sake of “safety.” Here is a video from Ms. USA 2003, who claims she was molested during one of her frequent flights. She is now forced to chose between the body scanning machine, which she thinks may be dangerous, or being molested.

    This cancer survivor, and flight attendant, was forced to remove her breast implant during what she discribes as an aggressive and humiliating search. She opted out of the full body scan to avoid additional radiation after recently undergoing therapy. As a result, she had her breasts groped by two women in a private room.

    This woman becomes hysterical when she shouts that she is being molested. The TSA agents then say the woman’s son cannot film the process.

    TSA has created an atmosphere of fear & meek subservience in our airports that smacks of Soviet bureaucratic bullying #RonPaul #OWS(image) 1 hour ago via Paulinator ·  Reply ·  Retweet ·  Favorite · powered by @socialditto

    Now, for $100, you can “Precheck” through the process and avoid the pat-downs altogether. Now you can pay them not to fondle you, so that’s a plus.
