A woman was arrested today for refusing to allow her daughter to be photographed naked or fondled by the TSA.
I do believe we have finally reached the tipping point where the TSA has gone too far. I am outraged, and I know you are too. This is a national disgrace.
I started a Facebook group in support of Mrs. Abbott:

The goal is to show support and, if she ends up with legal fees (which she may not since attorneys will probably salivate over the false arrest suit) to create a defense fund.
Also, if you’d like to express your opinion on this subject to every elected official in Nashville, I’ve taken the time to make an e-mail address list for every elected official in Nashville and every legislator (+ gov) in TN. 😉 Please share your opinion on this subject with these men and women:

Thanks for the story. I hope this mom becomes a celebrity! She has guts to stand up for her rights and the rights of her daughter. All parents should protect their children from molestation. I wish this was an everyday event. Then perhaps we may see some change in the TSA system of government.
The twisting part was a little excessive, but each groping TSA agent should be charged with felony sexual abuse too.

whatgets me is that all these outraged parents would not think twice about sending their young teenage daughters to a doctor for a feel up under the guise of preventive screening. it is disgraceful and in many other countries outside the US people would go to jail for this nonsense. The US seems like a place where the perverts rule.
