Anyone else notice that it is never TSA’s fault? It always because of the airlines or that the passenger “felt they had a bad experience” but groping a four year old is or robbing elderly travelers perfectly okay. This bunch of of deviants need to be disbanded before they kill someone.

Realistically even with provided training, TSA's are still going to forget half of it. And if its anything like the training I used to get monthly, annually, and weekly when I worked at a Bank, then a third of the training with go against other training, and another third will make no sense but no one will explain it because no one understands it, and the rest is just in a manual tucked in some obscure desk.

@ End TSA - Your comment:"Perhaps TSA spokesperson Ann Davis can tell us why people with special medical needs keep having issues with TSA employees" is exactly as Savannah's parents, what we want the answers to!

Moe84404: I'm really glad you feel safer. You're not, since the TSA misses an estimated 70% of weapons at checkpoints and failed to stop the underwear bomber, the shoe bomber, or the Times Square Bomber, but lets not dwell on results when we can focus instead on shiny tin badges pinned to the crisp blue shirts of jumped-up mall cops. The sad fact is that anyone who thinks the TSA is going to outwit every terrorist every time is a fool. Yet TSA administrator John Pistole is either too ignorant to understand that fact or too concerned with building his bureaucratic fiefdom. For every actual terrorist investigator working to infiltrate plots like this week's foiled bombing plan in Yemen, the TSA has 100 Blue Shirts intent on inspecting your daughter's push-up bra. TSA is a very sick agency, staffed with a disproportionate number of petty thieves and pedophiles who revel in their ability to inflict tiny tyranies on travelers. This week Pistole admitted that large numbers of TSA employees, who have access to sensitive areas of the airport, have not had background checks and an Atlanta TV station broke the news that catering carts and other materials supplied by vendors are not properly secured, allowing anyone to sneak weapons or bombs onto planes without ever coming near a TSA checkpoint. Anyone who has looked at the issue for even a moment realizes that TSA has taken $60 billion, stripped us of our privacy, stolen our iPads, purchased expensive equipment that does not work from government cronies and driven flyers away from the airport at a time when their business would really help the economy. But as long as you "feel" safer, it's all worth it.

There are ongoing issues with TSA screeners not knowing how to do their job. The training is either not good enough or the traninees aren't learning the material. Seems TSA would get a clue since these kind of things keep on happening. Perhaps TSA spokesperson Ann Davis can tell us why people with special medical needs keep having issues with TSA employees.
