ABC producer says TSA agent felt inside her underwear

Pat-down ‘worse than the gynecologist,’ producer says

As the busiest travel days of the year approach, more and more passengers are accusing the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of going too far with their screenings.

Earlier this month, the TSA began new security procedures in many airports including scans that produce images of the naked body and pat-downs.

One employee of ABC News who opted for the pat-down instead of the full body scan claimed that a TSA agent actually felt inside of her underwear.

“The woman who checked me reached her hands inside my underwear and felt her way around,” said ABC News producer Carolyn Durand. “It was basically worse than going to the gynecologist.”

“It was embarassing. It was demeaning. It was inappropriate,” she said.

Other passengers are also complaining.

A retired teacher from Lansing, Michigan, says he had to walk through an airport and board a plane covered in urine after TSA agents tore open his urostomy bag during a pat-down.

A flight attendant who is a breast cancer survivor says she was horrified when, during an “aggressive” pat-down at the Charlotte, North Carolina, airport, she was ordered to expose her prosthetic breast to two female TSA staffers.

Video of TSA agents searching a shirtless 5-year-old boy has become an internet sensation. A Utah man reportedly removed his son’s shirt during the screening process after the boy was too shy to let TSA agents search him.

Luke Tait, the man who filmed the video, said that the TSA agents asked him to delete it but he refused and left for his gate.

ABC’s Robin Roberts asked TSA Administrator John Pistole if some of the more invasive searches were even warranted.

“I don’t want to tell you how upset people are and some people saying that TSA agents are even going into their underwear as part of the screening process,” Roberts told Pistole Monday. “Is there ever any circumstance where that is warranted?”

“No, no, there should never be a situation where that happens,” the TSA chief replied.

“So what happens, what kind of recourse do they have if they do the things that people are saying?” Roberts asked.

“Again, the security officers are there to protect the traveling public,” Pistole explained. “And there are specific operating protocols in which they are to follow. With the advanced imaging technology, the walk-through metal detectors, all of these different layers of security that we have, there are specific standard operating protocols that they follow.”

This video is from ABC’s This Week, broadcast Nov. 21, 2010.

    Creepy stuff that sounds just like the old Soviet Union.

    In San Mateo county just south of San Francisco where SFO is, the local sheriff has said they will arrest any TSA employees that do anything like this. According to some reports he has said deputies will be stationed in the security check areas to watch for such obvious violations of the law.

    I’ve been saying since the shoe and belt removal began at the airport that we should show up in our bathrobes and get dressed after security. At first it was a joke, but now not so much.

    i am seriously surprised that no one has hit a TSA officer yet… not on purpose yet as a reflex due to someone slipping their hands in panties. it’s bed for anyone… yet trauma, rape or incest survivors would have real issues with being forced to let a stranger doing this.

    I’m beginning to think mass civil disobedience is the only recourse left for us to defend our liberty and our rights. Who in hell has the right to feel you up and grope you on your bare skin? This is obscene… and Obama is fully responsible for this unconstitutional assault on your body and your health. X-ray machines are dangerous and damage your DNA leaving the possibility of future cancer and birth defects with you. Sexual assault is your only other option in this perverse system. The nazis would be proud. MIchael Chertoff, a neofascist dual Israeli/American citizen, is responsible for these deadly Rapiscan devices being installed. We should know better folks. Resist this tyranny at all costs I say.

    this is complete BS. Sniffer machines the smell any type of explosive have been created and developed but they are not being used because Michael Chertoff got these machines in. These machines belong to a huge GOP contributor. We are going through this simply because of politics. There is absolutely no excuse in any American should ever have to go through this.

    Interesting that you say that. I thought exactly the same thing and wondered how much air traveled had suffered as a result. As if to answer my question, the corporate media published a “news” article tooting how great the airlines were doing, billions in profits, millions for the CEOs and blah blah blah. Immediately underneath the above-mentioned piece of garbage, there was another one giving the house away with $89 fairs and such. You just can’t make this shit up! They’re trying to say to the sheeple, see? it’s all good. Everybody is doing it. You should go ahead and let them touch you. Yet, they’re going broke and pushing giveaway fairs. ROFL!

    This is so far beyond the pale. By it should be abundantly clear these policies are designed to intimidate, to demean, to humiliate, to coerce and control the American people.

    Next it will be public strip searches and body cavity probes. Resistance will qualify for you for imprisonment if you are lucky enough to not be shot dead on the spot.

    These same policies will apply at the Mall and the local supermarket, at schools, at checkpoints into neighborhoods, my friends. What will it take to awaken the sleeping giant of liberty we are? When will you get beyond the two party theatre designed to keep us all fighting while our liberty has been slowly trampled into dust?

    Only a small percentage of people fly regularly. The vast majority rarely fly. So all these people claiming they won’t should be taken with a grain of salt.

    I favor the more passive / aggressive method of wearing kilts and smearing a small amount of chocolate pudding on your upper, inner thigh. Coughing, sneezing, and flatulence (accidental, of course) may also be effective.

    “Again, the security officers are there to protect the traveling public,” Pistole explained.

    This is false. The TSA– along with the rest of “Homeland Security– exists to intimidate and control the American public.

    Unbelievably, it has taken about 10 YEARS since Congress passed the PATRIOT Act (ie, the “Let’s Rape Americans’ Liberties Act”) for the neocon apologists to finally understand that “It don’t matter, cuz I ain’t doin’ nothin’ wrong!” is not a valid excuse to surrender our freedoms. The police state actually had to start groping peoples’ tits and nuts before they realized what “invasion of privacy” and “illegal search and seizure” means.

    Too late to complain, fuckers. You should have been screaming when the Patriot Act was passed. You should have been rioting in the streets. But you didn’t, because you were scared. You were told that losing your freedom was necessary because The Terrorists wanted to kill you. But you never quite figured out who The Terrorists were.

    Well, today I am going to do you a huge favor. I am going to tell you who The Terrorists are. Perhaps it’ll put your mind at ease, perhaps not. The Terrorists are children, babies, innocent people, mostly brown, bombed, shot, stomped, rolled over by tanks, and erased from the Earth with a Tomahawk missile. The Terrorists are the innocent victims of American aggression, American Empire. The Terrorists are all the people you wanted killed so that you–the little pathetic coward that you are–could sleep well in your warm bed at night.

    Cowards.

    Cowards, all of you. Silly little child cowards cowering under your sheets, afraid of infants and little old ladies. DEAD infants and little old ladies, I might add. Killed with your tax dollars, the ones you were too timid to withhold because you are afraid to defy your government. The same government that tells you to be afraid of your shadow.

    Silly children. Fie. Fie unto all of you.

    Reap what you sow.

    Perhaps some creative rebellion..

    This is nothing more than selling the Chertoff body scanners. Never mind the exposure that frequent flyers will have to be exposed to, it will certainly be better than having someone messing around in your underwear looking for, what? With the CEO of the scanner traveling with Obama it is clear that we are pushing the rest of the world to get the machines. I have changed travel plans to avoid this and when it becomes necessary to travel by plane I will wear a bathing suit and small t-shirt through the security. I am just lucky that I am not a little boy because everyone klnows that terrorists use little boys traveling with their family to hide devices that will cause explosions. Just how large would a device have to be to cause damage and would that fit taped to alittle boys scrotum or an adult womans labia?

    These people won’t do anything, they don’t have to. They are your only way into the airplane to fly. The only way to get around the TSA is to find another mode of transpiration. You think there is another company they are competing with that pats you down before a flight? No way! If you want to fly, you have to go through them no matter what. They’ll get your business no matter how bad they treat you.

    These patdowns/pornoscanners are directly related to techniques learned at Abu Ghraib, fear and sexual humiliation to break individuals down into compliant prisoners. The next thing in the pipeline for the TSA is a remote controlled taser cuff on every passenger. Eventually, it will evolve into taser cuffs on everyone in the country, as a way of ‘controlling terrorism’. Stop this bullshit now, or they’ll keep pushing to see how much they can get away with.

    Typical leftist logic on display. The nation elects Barack Obama, a Democrat. Obama not only continues, but increases, the draconian “security” procedures in our airports. Tommy concludes from this that the Democrat administration in control of the nation implements policies to keep the public “afraid” so that the ignorant sheeple will then vote for Republicans.

    I’m guessing Tommy voted for Obama, you know, the guy who’s administration and hand-picked team has instituted these draconian new policies.

    I am sure these airport workers were not thoroughly vetted before they were hired, given they would have their hands all over passenger’s private parts. Passengers don’t know if the employees are merely performing their jobs with clean minds, or if they are being legally fondled and peeped at by perverts. TSA can call these “necessary” actions whatever they want. In my mind, the so-called pat down is fondling. And behind-the-scene scanners rank right up there with peeping toms.

    Given these employees are probably paid minimum wages, maybe a few dollars over, airports can’t afford the luxury of weeding out undesirables, many of whom are clever enough to disguise who and what they are. Fondling a passenger in the form of a “pat down” gives them power over paying passengers who can’t complain about getting touched by a stranger. If a passenger protests, causing a ruckus, it is likely he or she will be secured, whisked off to a room at the airport and viewed with suspicion by security.

    I guess the phrase “unlawful search and seizure” in the Constitution does not apply to traveling passengers. I consider the “pat down” unlawful and a passenger’s dignity is certainly seized. I heard a woman on a radio show say that people should just to the airport naked. That should solve the problem. I disagreed slightly because airport security would then resort to cavity searches.

    It’s too bad the majority of travelers have to suffer this kind of embarrassment because a few bad apples are stinking up the barrel.

    The moronic screening process is NOT effective except to make us think it is while people are raking in big bucks by gouging government money …And some of the low paid, bored pervs love it they get a quick thrill and then tell all their friends, about the “fun” feel-up stories after work over drinks & laughs….

    Th whole concept is so ridiculous, if anyone wants to bring in an explosive device – There’s far more easier ways to do it than by boarding an airplane – Tons & tons of marked & unmarked cargo comes into the US daily 24/7 UNCHECKED – via air freight, ships, trucks & vehicles, mail, UPS, etc. etc….

    This TSA airport security is really a joke, a “legal” feel-up program a money making scam for a few, pretending they are really on their job in people’s minds as they are harass, stripe, x-ray & feet-up.

    Every other country in the world seem to have much more effective measures to stop ‘bombers” as becomes more obvious with each passing day of no incidents and effective intercepting when something does occur – of course the rest of the world sees us as a joke anyway and we never prove them wrong…… just another one of the stupid American grandstanding ploys….Conjured up by a few who are making a financial killing ripping-off of our tax dollars!

    QUESTION: DOES A TSA SCREENER CHANGE HIS OR HER GLOVES AFTER TOUCHING SOMEONE’S SEXUAL ORGANS AND BEFORE TOUCHING THE NEXT VICTIM? ARE THEY SPREADING STD & HIV/AIDS DISEASES? ARE THEY INFECTING THE TRAVELING PUBLIC AND OUR CHILDREN?

    This is a very valid question.

  • Anonymous

    I hardly think that Michael Chertoff (Bush’s Homeland Security director) is Obama’s traveling mate. The original scanners were ordered by the Bush admin and tested in various airports since 2005. The order was increased and the scanners are now being rolled out on a schedule originally set by Bush.

  • Anonymous

    It isn’t Chertoff, he may be a stockholder but doesn’t in fact run the company. I can’t think of the dudes name and I am kind of hungover so I don’t feel like unduly taking my cognition here but trust me, the bastard fuck that owns that company went to India with Obama.
    That’s ture though, no matter what Bush did or started, Obama, in spite of his words and even indignance to the contrary, finds a way to follow thorugh with the plan. Or haven’t you yet noticed that pattern.

    Question; “What kind of recourse (do people have against violations of their privacy)?”

    Answer: “Again, the security officers are there to protect the traveling public…”

    A non-answer to a reasonable question. If these people could be held personally responsible for their conduct, things would change in a hurry. But they’re PUBLIC SERVANTS, so they’re basically exempt from laws that apply to everyone else. Sexual molestation is a serious crime, but when there’s no penalty and your boss defends you by saying criticism of the new tactics is “irresponsible,” we can expect it to continue.

  • Anonymous

    No recourse. This “enhanced patdown” happened to my hubs – there was NO scanner available. He was frisked, grabbed and groped – in full view of all other passengers, AT THE GATE by a FEMALE AGENT – no private room was offered and no “male assist”.

    These agents are nuts – and they are bullies. At no time was he spoken with or told what to expect.

    Depends on who’s doing the groping… Heck, why don’t they just put massage tables for a complete “around the world” by, Harry, Philis and Fatty, which would of course end with a choice from a menu of very happy endings, gosh, gee whiz, Mrs. C., they could even have a menu of sorts with pics — pick your favorite “massage therapist(s)” and enjoy… while your spouse, children and the general pubic watch via pay-per-view (kinda like one of those xxx peep shows).

    Even better, we could just have a hippie-love-fest before every flight… Complete with dancing girls and striptease lap and/or table dances… Wow, the possibilities are endless…

    They’ll sell a lot more tickets, and many “travelers” will just spend their “vacations” in the airport going back and forth through “customs/security”. Very efficient… Airports would become kinda like “Roman Bath Houses” were… No more “terrorists” to worry about, they’re all busy getting massages. Another problem solved. Johnny could run a few “episodes” on the Daily Show and O’Really could complain about it on his new “Foxy News Show” and everyone would be so happy…

    Choosing to opt out has nothing to do with trying to create chaos or congestion. The reasons are different for different people and range from health issues concerning the backspatter to an obvious violation of constitutional rights. Not to mention the abuse of the system by overzealous or tyrannical employees. Trying to trivialize our reasons for this action will eventually only backfire. Mr. Pistole never gave a satisfactory answer to most of your questions and should not have been allowed to get away with that. You are not serving the public by allowing him to sidestep on issues. For most of us this is not a one time action and personally I expect not to fly again until these practices are abandoned.

    For all the good it will do he should still file a complaint. I also offer a couple of options the next time he goes through this procedure. He can request that an actual law enforcement officer be present although I don’t know how long that option will be available. If asked why he wants one he should simply say ‘it is for your protection’ and continue to insist that one be present. He can also ask for an officer if he feels he has been groped inappropriately, when the officer arrives he should then ask for a specialist from a sex crimes unit to be called. All this takes time and unfortunately most people aren’t willing to miss their flight in order to pursue the issue at the time it happens. Unfortunately not acting immediately and on the spot relegates the incident to not much more than an anecdote or hearsay unless there are witnesses or he has credibility from some other source.

  • Anonymous

    The answer is likely not unless you request it. The gloves aren’t there for your protection but for the screener’s. Personally I recommend that everyone ask the screener to change gloves before they touch any of your baggage or your person. I know from experience that there are diseases out there that people fly with that are more than a minor public health issue. According to the TSA site you are well within your rights to expect that this request be honored.

    They need to do what the Israelis do by El Al check out, you question the passengers and watch their body language, that is what gives it away whether they are lying or not. They also pull out all Muslims from the line and do a thorough investigation of all contents that are in their belongings. But that would require that we do something original and profile our enemies. Women with children, senior citizens in wheel chairs, etc. are not our adversary. Israel has had no problems in 20 years, they are the safest airline to fly because they do not have a problem with airport discrimination.

    As a girl who doesn’t trust men and is terrified of being hurt, I would be sobbing if a pat down was done. I would also flip out if they can see me naked through those scanners.

I can’t emotionally or mentally handle that.
