More TSA Insecurity … JFK International Airport’s Terminal 7 Shut Down & Evacuated After Unplugged Metal Detector Causes Mass Chaos

UNREAL,  I feel safe that the TSA can protect us from terrorism when they cannot even figure out that a metal detector was unplugged.

Chaos ensued yesterday at New York City’s JFK International Airport when Terminal 7 was shut down and evacuated after it was determined that a metal detector was unplugged. Hundreds of passengers were forced to redo the security screenings as well as two airplanes were called back from the runway as they were preparing to take off. WTF!!! Can you imagine what the hostility must have been like all caused by complete incompetence from the TSA and one of their agents.

From Airplane, looks like the TSA picked the wrong week to quit checking unplugged metal detectors

The TSA’s bungling reached a new low yesterday when a JFK Airport terminal had to be evacuated and hundreds of passengers marched back through security screening all because one dimwitted agent failed to realize his metal detector had been unplugged, sources told The Post.

The stunning error led to hours of delays, two planes called back from the runway and infinite frustration for furious passengers.

“The truth is, this is the failure of the most basic level of diligence,” a law-enforcement source said.

“How can you expect the public to feel confident of the mission of the TSA if they don’t even know if the lights are turned on?”

This incident is simply beyond comprehension. Its one think to fondle little boys and girls and frisk granny like a common perp all in the name of national security … but to be so incompetent that you do not realize that the friggin “on” light was, um, on? Seriously! The TSA agent actually had no idea that the metal detector was not plugged in as hundreds of passengers went thru the machine with not one light flashing. At what point does common sense take over and one think that something might be wrong? Good grief!

The chaos at Terminal 7 was caused by screener Alija Abdul Majed, who had manned Lane No. 1 during the morning shift with no idea his metal detector had no juice, sources said.

Amazingly, he failed to realize that alert lights never flashed once as streams of passengers filed through the dead detector, the sources said.

Majed was so clueless that he couldn’t even tell police how long the machine had been shut off or how it happened, the sources said.

Senate Democrats Want to Increase Air Travel Fees So that the TSA Can Continue to Grope Granny & Little Children

Because the Democrats never met a tax or fee increase the did not like …

The TSA is such a broken and inflated department with a failed groping policy that even the individual who created it thinks it should be scrapped; however,  Senate Democrats want now want to increase the travel fee. Presently the fee is $2.50. Democrats want to double the fee to $5.00. Are you serious? Why would such a failed agency more known for groping and fondling little girls, considering  disabled 7 year old’s terrorists, humiliating cancer patients and strip searching granny be provided more money?

The Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday moved forward with legislation to increase airline passenger security fees, beating back a GOP attempt to keep them at current levels.

The 2013 Homeland Security appropriations bill would increase one-way fees for passengers from $2.50 to $5 in order to close a budget shortfall at the Transportation Security Administration.

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said the $315 million in funding would otherwise come from taxpayers and argued it is better to stick passengers who rely on TSA with the bill.

Geraldo Rivera was unavailable for comment whether he thought there should be an increase in fees to be manually raped.

TSA Agents At it Again … Give ‘Full Monty’ Pat-Down On Henry Kissinger .., Because Kissinger is the face of Terrorism

Oh those observant TSA agents … even Henry Kissinger, the adviser to Presidents and former Nobel Peace prize winner, was not immune to the TSA feel up pat down.

89 year old Henry Kissinger is the latest ti be deemed a terror suspect by the brain surgeons of the TSA. Such was the case at New York’s LaGuardia airport where Kissinger was asked to get out of his wheel chair to receive a TSA pat down. As it was described, “the full monte” pat down.

Kissinger, who will be 89 this month, was spotted on Friday at LaGuardia airport in New York, getting routed to the pat-down line while going through security. Freelance reporter Matthew Cole recognized him — something the TSA agent checking identification did not.

After asking Kissinger his name as he passed through the scanner, the agent sent him to be searched. Kissinger was in a wheelchair, Cole tells us, not because he couldn’t walk, but because, Cole surmised, it was a long walk to the gate. In the search area, Kissinger was subjected to what Cole called “the full Monty” of the usual groping. “He stood with his suit jacket off, and he was wearing suspenders. They gave him the full pat-down. None of the agents seemed to know who he was,” he says.

How safe does it make any air traffic passenger feel when the very people, the TSA, who are supposed to be observant to determine who is and is not a potential terrorist did not even recognize some one of the stature of Henry Kissinger. Frightening!

Geraldo Rivera Speaks Out On TSA … “I Got Manually Raped By A Guy,’ ‘[He] Was Getting Off On It.”

MORE TSA INCOMPETENCE … and their war on toddlers and Geraldo.

On Friday’s Fox News ‘Fox & Friends,’ Geraldo Rivera was supposed to comment on the story of an 8 month old little girl was removed from a Jet Blue plane because she was on the terror fly list. They claimed it was a computer glitch. NO SH*T SHERLOCK!!! However, instead  Geraldo recounted his own personal experience with the TSA, emphasis on personal. Geraldo said, “I got manually raped by a guy,” said Rivera. “This guy, it seemed to me, was getting off on it.”

Geraldo further discussed his efforts to get off of the no fly list and the egregious incompetence of the TSA. Geraldo went on to discuss his last experience with the TSA flying to Afghanistan and getting off the no fly list … YIKES!!!

Geraldo Rivera appeared on Fox & Friends on Friday where he described an intrusive inspection he had received from a Transportation Security Administration officer on a recent trip to Afghanistan. “I got manually raped by a guy,” said Rivera. “This guy, it seemed to me, was getting off on it.”

I finally – I guess, Gretchen – after enough kicking and screaming and embarrassing, embarrassment to the TSA of their utter incompetence in terms of managing this program – they talked about glitches in the computer program – at some point, they finally got it together. But it was quite a while. And, you know, there’s a lot of dysfunction in the TSA. I think there is a lot of merit in people who say it should be re-privatized. I don’t necessarily endorse that, but I tell you the last time I flew to Afghanistan I got manually raped by a guy who – the scanner wasn’t working…

 

 Geraldo Rivera transcript from The Blaze:

But Rivera‘s TSA woes weren’t over: “I tell you the last time I flew to Afghanistan I got manually raped by a guy who – the scanner wasn’t working.”

“He wanted to make sure…” host Steve Doocy offered.

“But making sure is one thing,” Rivera said. “This guy, it seemed to me, was getting off on it, I — ”

“Oh my gosh,” host Gretchen Carlson laughed.

“ — and the more and the tighter I got and the angrier I got,” said Rivera. “He just wanted to be a little more intimate.”

TSA Agents to a 79 Year Old Woman … “There’s an anomaly in the crotch area.”

Is the TSA really this ignorant or does some one really just need to collectively “bitch-slap” these people? Have these people gone completely mad?

After reading Jeffrey Goldberg’s account of what happened to his 79 year old mother-in-law at the hands of the Gestapo TSA while traveling home to Rhode Island from Washington Reagan airport, all I have to say is C’MON MAN!!! Is is bad enough that they would treat a harmless under five foot, 79 year old individual this way, but to then announce in their “outside” voice for all to hear the humiliating 7 words that the Lonely Conservative states “There’s an anomaly in the crotch area.”

 She entered the machine and struck the humiliating pose one is forced to strike — hands up, as in an armed robbery — and then walked out, when she was asked by a TSA agent, in a voice loud enough for several people to hear, “Are you wearing a sanitary napkin?”

Remember, she’s 79.

My mother-in-law answered, “No. Why do you ask?”

The TSA agent responded: “Well, are you wearing anything else down there?”

Yes, “down there.”

She said no, at which point, the friend with whom she was traveling, also a not-young volunteer library advocate, came over and asked if there was a problem.

The TSA agent said, again, in full voice, “There’s an anomaly in the crotch area.”

UNREAL! I have to agree with Jeffrey Goldberg, if this is what protecting the US against terrorism, we have lost the war on terrorism. Nothing could be more ignorant that to waste time feeling up little girls like HERE, HERE and HERE and 79 or 85 year old one’s as well in lieu of going after oh say Muslim men in the name of political correctness. As Jeffrey states, “How did it come to pass that the federal government takes official and invasive interest in the “crotch areas” of 79-year-old grandmothers?”
