TSA
TREATS 95-YEAR-OLD
WHEELCHAIR-BOUND
VETERAN LIKE A
"TERRORIST,"
$300 STOLEN
By Paul Joseph Watson
Wheelchair-bound
95-year-old veteran
Omer Petti and his
85-year-old partner
Madge Woodward were
treated like
terrorists by TSA
agents at San Diego
International airport,
ostensibly so TSA
workers could separate
them from $300 dollars
in cash which
subsequently went
missing.
"Can
you imagine an
85-year-old lady and
95-year-old retired
Air Force Major in
wheelchairs being
treated like
terrorists?"
Petti asked
the Detroit News'
Marney Keenan.
Given
the TSA's recent
history - yes -
veterans and old
people are two of the
federal agency's
primary targets and
are routinely
subjected to intense
harassment and abuse.
After
Petti had removed his
shoes, belt, clothing
and other accessories
he was ordered by a
TSA agent to place a
money clip containing
$300 in folded bills
into its own separate
bin.
After
walking through a
metal detector, both
Petti and Woodward
were patted down, with
Woodward being taken
to a separate room for
extra
"screening"
due to the fact that
residue from her
nitroglycerin heart
pills had set off an
alarm.
"When
I was patted down,
I've never before been
touched in every part
of my body
before," Woodward
said.
After
TSA workers had routed
through their personal
belongings and fondled
their every body part
, the two were allowed
to leave but Petti
noticed the $300 was
missing.
"When
I told him we were
going to miss our
flight he asked me if
I was objecting or
refusing his
request." Petti
says. "I said:
'No, I'd do anything I
was asked, I would
just like to know
where my $300 went.'
"
Fearing
they would miss their
flight, Petti and
Woodward had to settle
for filling out a
"Tort Claim
Package," and
were subsequently
rushed to the
departure point at a
dangerously high speed
by a wheel chair
attendant.
After
analyzing security
tapes of the incident,
San Diego Harbor
Police said the
footage was "too
blurry," and the
TSA seemingly just
wants Petti to forget
about his missing
$300.
Without
writing an article of
book-length
proportions it is
impossible to list all
the examples of TSA
agents having been
caught in criminal
acts. It comes to the
point where simply
regurgitating prior
incidents serves no
purpose. There can no
longer be any doubt
that the
Transportation
Security
Administration has
become a beacon for
perverts and criminals
who take a TSA job
because it gives them
free reign to abuse,
sexually harass and
steal from the public
- often targeting the
weakest members of
society.
Let's
try a different
approach. Listed below
are just the most
recent headlines from
Google News concerning

in criminal activity,
negligence and
harassment.

Remember,
all these stories are
just from the past
couple of weeks. How
can any federal agency
with this level of
rampant corruption,
incompetence,
criminality and sheer
negative publicity
still manage to
survive in its current
form?
If
the words of former
TSA head Kip Hawley,
who this week spoke of
how the TSA had made
traveling within the
United States an
"unending
nightmare," carry
any weight, hopefully
not for very much
longer.
