If some of us have "body odors" from med problems or are "overweight" should TSA Complain About us?
Edited on Mon Nov-22-10 09:09 PM by KoKo
Some TSA Administrators are complaining about their Jobs... They are saying that there are "overweight" folks who could potential hide things in their fat folds and so they need to do a better probe to get through "folds" and that is a problem they are having. And that "body oders" might be a further problem for them in complying with their job.

I worry about the "little kids under 5-years" who are being subjected to this stuff ...more than Body Odors or folks who are overweight.

How can this be? Trivializing "UnWARRENTED SEARCH!"

HERE's the POST...and LINK from DU:

By the way I find some of these complains hard to believe. One passenger said "screw you" to TSA agent and police was called. Am I supposed to believe that passengers call these TSA agents vile names all day and TSA agents do nothing in response?

7. Garlic is good...but we shouldn't forget "Med Conditions" where folks do have
problems from Meds they are taking and that the TSA has folks scanning us carrying on about how bad their job is when they are not educated as to "eating a good garlic dinner at a Restaurant might lead to some "breath odors" as opposed to folks on Meds that give them "odd breath odors" says much about the LACK OF ANY TRAINING OR OVERSIGHT BY TSA.

And the INSENSITIVITY OF THIS DU POSTER to put this out is really interesting:
