dave: you say the t.s.a. has gone too far? recently we had 95-year-old woman terminally ill with leukemia and they made her take off an adult diaper and the daughter broke down interest tears and they went to the check list and they said, she has to be searched, too, so we had this terminal 95-year-old grandmother who is everybody s great, humiliated and her daughter was distraught over the treatment humiliated. and we are talking about al qaeda implanting bombs if their beds, are current detection machines, they would not see that? who is the biggest target other than israeli aircraft? who is the bigger target? do they put their citizens
aircraft. was no one doing their job? it is outrageous. and yet, this contrasted with what happened earlier with the 95-year-old former nurse, a public servant with no history of criminality, and she is humiliated because her adult diaper which is soild has ed hae removed? the priorities of tsa and it is a challenge that no one questions it is a big challenge. we have 425 commercial airports across the country. we have millions of passengers, and no one questions that it is a challenge. but what we have had a decade the try to get it right. and we haven t gotten it right yet. and yesterday, the event with the nigerian scammer really underscores the poorest nature of the security. he got through two checkpoints and boarded an aircraft. and then that brings into question, once he was on the aircraft, and they knew he
it s timetoclear the air. earlier this week we reported the outrageous wheelchair bound lena reppert. the 95-year-old former news subjected to an invasive search by tsa staff at an airport in florida. suffering with terminal cancer she was forced to have her soiled adult diaper inspected before being allowed to pass through security. just as we thought that matters couldn t get worse for the tsa we learn today about the astonishing story of mr. nowebe, a nigerian who managed to fly without a valid passport and in possession of an expired boarding pass that wasn t even in his name. that s right. he had neither a valid i.d. nor a ticket, but he still breezed through security and boarded the
think flights and it s a miracle they failed to detonate explosives they d hidden. so according to the tsa, this is why we re supposed to understand what happened when a 95-year-old wheelchair-bound american woman was not allowed to board her flight until her adult diaper which had been soiled, had been inspected. the tsa believes that no apology is necessary. instead, issuing a statement in defense of their response. we re supposed to understand that there was no alternative for mrs. lena who was preparing to board the last flight of her life, because she s suffering with chronic lymphatic leukemia, a form of terminal cancer. we re supposed to understand why this former public servant who spent a lifetime as a nurse and provokes no suspicion but only affection in those she meets that this same elderly woman had
board after her adult diaper, which was soiled, was removed. her daughter broke down in tears. yesterday in a modified statement, the tsa says they did not require the kiper diaper s removal, but the woman voluntarily removed it. no apology, and apparently, no common sense. whitey bulger explains why the most wanted mobster felt free to run the country, a free and heavily-armed man. and sarah palin a movie star. we get the early review of the thriller from wasilla threat to open in theaters across the country. mom? what are you doing? physical therapists suggest cold therapy for pain relief, so, you know. just use new bengay cold therapy. it relieves pain with a blast of cold. you are so smart.
