Agents coldly refer to kids as “suspects” and scream at parents who attempt to diffuse situations

Two notable incidents this week indicate that despite a “change in policy” last year, the TSA is still conducting enhanced patdowns on children as young as four years old.
At a Kansas airport, a four year old girl was called a “suspect” and ordered to undergo a full patdown by TSA officers after hugging her grandmother during the screening process.
In a Facebook post, which has since been removed pending a formal complaint, the girl’s family noted that agents accused the child of potentially having a handgun in her possession when she ran to hug her grandmother during the screening process.
The TSA agents then threatened to shut down the entire airport unless the “suspect” was subjected to a full patdown. According to the family’s account, the agents were shouting at the girl, ordering her to co-operate, causing her to start screaming and kicking at them. The TSA workers even attempted to take the girl away from her family and frisk her in a separate room.
“…they didn’t explain anything and she did not know what was going on,” the girl’s grandmother said. “She saw people grabbing at her and raising their voices. To her, someone was trying to kidnap her or harm her in some way.”
In a separate incident, at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, the TSA forced a seven year old mentally handicapped girl to undergo an enhanced patdown because her use of crutches dictated that she could not walk through metal detectors.
The girl’s parents attempted to alleviate her anxiety by asking the TSA agents to calmly introduce themselves and explain what they were doing. However, the agents would have none of it and instead “were exceptionally aggressive,” according to the girl’s father.
After he began recording footage of the screening with his iPhone, one of the agents “started screaming at me and cursing me and threatening me,” he told The Daily.
“They’re harassing people,” said the father, Dr. Joshua Frank. “This is totally misguided policy.” Added Mrs. Frank: “They still attack her like she’s Osama bin Laden. It’s not fair.”
The family ended up missing their flight altogether because of the incident.
The TSA has defended agents in both incidents, issuing almost identical statements saying that they followed the correct procedures.
As we have previously reported, the TSA has revised its policy on patdowns of children on two separate occasions, yet the procedures have continued regardless.
The two new incidents this week highlight the fact that until it is written into law to make the grope-downs illegal, there is no safety net against TSA tyranny.
We cannot simply take the word of an agency that has repeatedly lied to the public about its actions over and over again.
FLASHBACK: Busted: TSA lied about promise not to grope children
FLASHBACK: No ‘enhanced’ pat-downs for kids, TSA says

and again..
the DHS-TSA were formed on the back of the LIE about what happened on 911
the state of our (sabotaged!) economy was front page news before 911..
financial fraud investigations by the SEC in WTC-7 never hit by a plane,
and pending audit of the pentagon for 2.3 trillion “missing”,
were NEVER a treat to some “sand ghost bin lala”.
DC-FDA-USDA-EPA approved
poisoning the air food water and medicine to guarantee profits to the mostly foreign owned
big pharma-medical-insurance industrial complex (her majesty’s corporate nicknames).
the increased illness and demand for treatment justifying prices put through the damn roof.
for treatments not covered by their insurance buddies, hospitals want real estate,
which ends up in the hands of the state and the banksters,
instead of your children inheriting it.
NOW, is there any wondering WHY they want their “mandatory healthcare”?!
they tried to ram “hillary-care” through a couple decades ago,
but our economy wasnt trashed enough for people to reach for it.
bush-clinton rammed NAFTA-GATT through to hand all technology and production to China.
DC handed out corporate welfare (3-4x what we get) so companies could leave the country,
they just added it to the “national deficit”, leaving US paying to be left unemployed, homeless.
HILLARY jumped onto the board of directors to Walmart, selling cheep Chinese goods,
expanding into every little city possible, bankrupting multi-thousands of smaller retailers,
cancelling millions of cashier, stockboy, and delivery drivers jobs..
ON TOP OF
all the damage done to skilled manufacturing labor jobs available, and their wages.
hillary is only a PART of the treasonous economic saboteuring financial terrorists,
who have conspired to destroy this nation, and she’s secretary of fuggen STATE?!
DC allowed the banksters to “legally” commit fraud..
“credit default swaps” simplified:
a) loan to who you know cannot repay
b) take out default insurance
c) when it defaults, pocket the money, show the bank as bankrupt
d) demand bailouts to write the bonus checks from for fraud well done
THAT RIGHT THERE, shows DC, big banks, and insurance companies, CONSPIRED!!
when their frauds were being investigated, they blew up WTC-7. convenient no?
NOW.. these treasonous economic saboteuring financial terrorists,
have the nerve to call their VICTIMS potential terrorists,
and are spending like MAD for a nazi police state to protect themselves,
as they completely destroy ANY little thing left of what was once a great republic.
TSA in the airports, train and bus stations..
gay-nazi-paedo-pervs “just following orders”
from BIGGER gay-nazi-paedo-pervs in DC.
they’re buying 450 million rounds of .40 caliber hollowpoints,
bulletproof checkpoint booths for the highways,
iodine tabs to short term protect their stormtroopers from radiation,
surveillance drones with tazers or worse, also coming SOON.
they’ve build and staffed FEMA concentration camps,
its ALL CIA (duhhh) who hate us for our freedoms,
brought to the US with operation paperclip,
to destroy from within what hurt em so badly in WW2!
who gives a shit that they aint speaking German,
its all straight outta the SAME NAZI PLAYBOOKS!!

“…To her, someone was trying to kidnap her or harm her in some way.”
Well, The TSA KOOKS Would, If ‘They’ Could…
But Only Insofar As MOLECH (a.k.a. ‘SATAN’) Wills It…

It’s all about conditioning the younger generation to accept the police state as a normal part of life. A few months ago while visiting my mom, I decided to walk my dog on the grounds of my old elementary school. On every door to every wing of the facility was glued a sign which read “entering the premises with firearms is strictly prohibited”…..mind you, these doors are only used by children and faculty to enter and exit the building for outdoor playtime, they are not used by the public or parents. The only purpose of these signs was to condition the children to the police state.

(to scare them, so they would feel the need to be protected by the police state, I meant to say)

I know, right? Should have had those signs posted on the doors of Virginia Tech and Columbine. That’d have stopped the killings. Shit, should have thought of that before.
Any parent who allows this will have a front row seat in the FEMA gas chamber. How frickin cowardly can you be?
Persons who would put their family and especially children through such a ordeal are sicker than the TSA pedophiles.

@kenn,
You would think that even the most brain-dead and uninformed would have by now at the very least heard about or seen the TSA nightmares yet they blithly allow themselves to take a chance with their special needs daughter in order to go on a VACATION!
Come on folks, anyone can understand having to subject yourself to TSA abuses because of work requirements, but to take a chance at life-long terror flashbacks with a special needs child shows criminal neglect IMO from the parents to do it for a vacation.
I have NOT and will NOT fly until the TSA is gone, gone, gone, and even then, it’s a maybe!
It will depend on who, what, where, when, how the TSA is replaced.

How about you try a vacation close to home that you can drive to?
As a bonus, you will know that most of the money you spend will help AMERICANS!

Well, I see your point but, I will not live in fear and will not change my life style due to illegal processes. I’ll be vacationing soon, I have children, I will be flying, no one will be back-scattering my children or groping them.
I am not going to sacrafice my right to travel and they will not infringe on it. They have no jurisdiction and, we’ll simply sue them individually and collectively should I miss my flight. Forceably groping my children will be well documented in the news as it will be the first execution of a TSA “agent”. It will be immediate. No discussion, no quarter, no tolorance.
I said fuckn’ “NO” and I meant it.
I have yet to see any proof of them doing this to children. IMO Alex blows the whole TSA thing out of proportion, he talks about it almost like he gets off on getting searched. I don’t know if its his ego talking or just hype for the show.

I fly all the time…I have seen it…kids…the elderly…wheelchair bound handicapped,
you name it…they grope it
The “Tourist Sabotage Agency” dont give a sh*t about anything except having that “special moment” when they get to feel someones daughter up, they dont care how old she is. The only actual “qualification” needed to be a TSAgent is to be a registered sex offender.
One thing i don’t understand is why aren’t more TSA “officers” assaulted? If ANYONE gropes my wife or kids he gets a minimum punch to the throat. If not a complete stomping.
The sad story of the 4 year old “suspect” who hugged her grandmother was carried by one of the mainstream websites early this week. What troubled me more than the story were some of the comments posted below. Posters insisted this was the fault of the mother for “letting the child run wild”, that “parents should control their children at the airports”, that the child was “badly behaved” “spoiled” or “poorly disciplined” that she “must learn how to behave in public”, etc. Any small child screamed at by strangers, separated from her family, threatened and touched, will panic and think she is in the hands of kidnappers or worse. Most parents wisely teach their children not to talk to strangers, to let these people touch them, and to run/scream/kick/call out for help if this happens. and yet some of the commentators were blaming her for being “badly behaved!” She’s 4 years old, for heavens sake!
After reading through these comments, I realized we have as much to fear from the “mind set” of those heartless people as we do from the TSA.
