Doubling down on stupid: TSA stands by officers after anal probe of cancer-stricken 95-year old woman

And here I was of the opinion that ObamaCare was going to torture seniors by rationing care. TSA is getting a jump on that torture thing first it seems. Ergo an update on this recent post: Great News: TSA forces woman, 95, to remove adult diaper for pat down. It was bad enough that they found it necessary to strip the urine-soaked diaper off a 95-year old woman in a wheelchair. But doubling down on that act is possibly even worse. Via memeorandumTSA stands by officers after pat-down of elderly woman in Florida
The Transportation Security Administration stood by its security officers Sunday after a Florida woman complained that her cancer-stricken, 95-year-old mother was patted down and forced to remove her adult diaper while going through security.

...The TSA released a statement Sunday defending its agents' actions at the Northwest Florida Regional Airport.

"While every person and item must be screened before entering the secure boarding area, TSA works with passengers to resolve security alarms in a respectful and sensitive manner," the federal agency said. "We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure."
