The TSA sees everyone as a terrorist

15-year-old girl: To TSA agents, I’m the face of terrorism is another sad account of mindless TSA policies which allowed TSA agents to grope a fifteen-year-old girl.  The girl starts with her account writing:

---------
I’ll bet you didn’t know I’m a terrorist. I didn’t either until Wednesday when Transportation Security Administration workers at Midway Airport decided I fit some obscure profile. I guess terrorists these days typically have braces and freckles.
---------

I think, and hope, that as more and more citizens are subjected to unacceptable treatment by the TSA there will be a ground swell push for the TSA to treat us with respect and thoughtful policies.

Hat tip: Boycott Flying
