Complaints of verbal abuse

Full-body scanners are now in place at close to 70 airports and send virtually naked images of passengers to a TSA screener at a remote location. Those who wish to avoid the scanners must instead undergo a new, open-palmed pat-down that many travelers, and even some security officers, feel is too personally invasive.

Aviation and security blogger Steven Frischling said he has received comments from TSA front-line screeners complaining of verbal abuse.

“Molester, pervert, disgusting, an embarrassment, creep. These are all words I have heard today at work describing me. ...These comments are painful and demoralizing,” one unnamed TSO posted on Frischling’s website.

Another said: “Being a TSO means often being verbally abused. You let the comments roll off and check the next person; however, when a woman refuses the scanner then comes to me and tells me that she feels like I am molesting her; that is beyond verbal abuse.”

“I have encountered a few TSA transportation security officers that have the ‘We're keeping people safe’ attitude,” said Frischling, “But when you ask them about specific aspects of the TSA's policy or procedure, they backpedal a bit and admit there are problems.”

"There are problems" is an understatement here.


Enjoy your flight this coming holidays. :cool2:
 
i wonder how many people will refuse the scan just to get felt up:giggle::giggle::giggle:

seriously i would not submit to a scan unless they can prove the machine does not have a hard drive

i would rather strip in public for the agents so they have to search me it in public
this would really piss a lot of people off at tsa's requirements

rather than have a no fly day extend it to a month and see how quick the travel industries tell tsa to pound salt up their backside
