If you travel by plane, there is no doubt that you have been groped at some point by the TSA. Some have often wondered how would they like it if it happened to them. The question now has an answer. Apparently they don’t like it at all.
Carol Price, a former TSA screener was stopped for a pat down by a TSA agent as she was traveling to her brother’s funeral in Cleveland. After Price was patted down by an agent who touched her breasts and genitals, she complained to a supervisor by demonstrating how she was groped.
Price believed she was being targeted for harsh treatment by her former co-worker for personal reasons. She was removed from her flight, missed her brother’s funeral, handcuffed and taken to jail.
For demonstrating the kind of humiliation that TSA agents have become renowned for practicing, Price faces misdemeanor battery charges. She has pleaded not guilty.
Responding to the incident, the TSA claimed Price had carried out an act of “violence” by groping the TSA supervisor, while Price’s defense attorney John Mills contended that the treatment dished out to Price by TSA agents was far more invasive.
Indeed, if the TSA characterizes Price’s actions as violent, then tens of thousands of TSA agents are habitually carrying out acts of violence against the American people by subjecting them to degrading pat downs which often include physically touching travelers’ genitals.
It is very clear that the TSA doesn’t like to be groped and fondled the way that they do to travelers. Price is just the latest victim of the gross double standard being carried out across this country.
It is interesting to note that police and FBI cannot search a person without probable cause, but the TSA appears to be above the law.
