Disable child seen hysterically crying in video of TSA harassment
Alex Thomas
In an absolute disgusting display of the American police state, TSA thugs recently harassed a three-year old disabled girl as her and her family attempted to board a plan bound for Disney World.
To top it off, the girl’s family, upon attempting to film the situation, was directly lied to by TSA agents on scene who claimed that it was illegal to film them treating a three-year old as a possible terrorist.
Footage of the search, uploaded by the girls parents, shows a distraught child with Spina bifida hysterically crying.
“I don’t want to go to Disney World anymore.”
The problems began when the family reached the TSA screeners at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport in Missouri who preceded to specifically target the disabled child.
When the parents told the screeners that they could only search their child if they were being filmed, the agents wrongly told them that it was illegal to do so.
In a comment to ABC News, the parents of the child had this to say:
“To me it was pretty offensive because I was really tuned in when she said that, immediately I’m like, ‘OK, hold on, something doesn’t seem right.’”
“They are specifically singling out disabled people for this special scrutiny. It’s rather offensive to me as a father of a disabled child.”
“We are not unreasonable people,” Mr Forck said. “But to say you are going to do a bodily search with no probable cause whatsoever – just because she is in a wheelchair – that was offensive.”
For their part, the TSA has responded two weeks after the matter with a joke of a press release that is such garbage its almost unbelievable that they would even release it.
“TSA regrets inaccurate guidance was provided to this family during screening and offers its apology.”
We are committed to maintaining the security of the traveling public and strive to treat all passengers with dignity and respect.
While no pat-down was performed, we will address specific concerns with our workforce.”
The above search of a harmless little girl is but one of the dozens and dozens of disgusting videos that have been released in the last few years documenting the tactics used by TSA as well as their subsequent lies posted on their “blog” website.
It is high time that the American people directly say NO to TSA sexual harassment policies and put an end to their children being treated as possible terrorists.
If we cannot stand up for our children what will we ever stand up for?
