    How embarrassing, feel bad for her. Kind of ruins your whole trip when something along these lines happen.

    All I see is some psychopath dragging a dying 95-year-old on a flight with them.

    I probably would have ended up in jail if that was my grandmother. I would of probably tried to beat the living **** out of those people. There are certain things I would not be able to handle and this is one of them.

    If you read the article they said an alarm went off when she went through the thing and they had to follow procedures.

    Sounds pretty poor really.

    Just like everyone knows women and innocent children aren't suicide bombers either.

    As much as it sucks and I wouldn't want it to happen, they are doing their job and following procedure.

    Don't degrade a real tragedy by comparing it to this story. Your comparison is very offensive.

    Really? "Glorified mall security"? I mean, don't get me wrong, I think the TSA went too far in this instance and should have used better discretion, but I don't think they're "glorified mall security" because of it. They have a VERY important job to do and I, for one, am glad they are doing it.

    I do, however, wish that the TSA was managed better and employed folks with a bit more sense.

    i didnt call the TSA "glorified mall security" b/c of this instance. i have been calling them that for years now.

    and calling them "glorified mall security" is an insult to mall security guards everywhere.

    there is nothing important or necessary about those people sticking their hands down little kids and old ladies pants or groping peoples private parts. i cant believe i am living in a country where we even have to have this discussion.
