US Passenger Who Refused TSA Screening Process Paraded Through 2 Airport Terminals In His Underwear
It happened to Sam Wolanyk, a gun rights activist from San Diego.
In what can only be described as TSA handlers gone wild, the San Diego Harbor Police arrested an area resident for refusal to complete the screening/security process yesterday. This is the same airport that created the TSA security catch phrase “don’t touch my junk.” John Kliner of San Diego started the airport screening firestorm last week as Americans head into the busiest travel week of the year in the United States.
This time the defendant, Sam Wolanyk says he was asked to pass through the 3-D x-ray machine. When Wolanyk refused, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel told him he would have to be patted down before he could pass through and board his airplane.
Wolanyk said he knew what was coming and took off his pants and shirt, leaving him in Calvin Klein bike undergarments.
“It was obvious that my underwear left nothing to the imagination,” he explained. “But that wasn’t enough for the TSA supervisor who was called to the scene and asked me to put my clothes on so I could be properly patted down.”
It was clear to Wolanyk that TSA only wanted him to submit to a pat-down and if they were interested in ensuring the safety of all passengers they would have rifled through his clothes, carryon baggage and acknowledged that he was not carrying any illegal paraphernalia on his person.
Once Harbor Police arrested Wolanyk, he was handcuffed and paraded through two separate airport terminals in his underwear to the Harbor Police office located inside a different terminal at the airport than Wolanyk had originally gone through during his TSA security process.
Another woman was arrested for filming the TSA screening process.
Now I for one, would like to know where the Republicans who took over the House stand on this. How come there’s no news of them going after Obama and the TSA for the harassment of lawful American citizens? If Republicans had any backbone they would have been hammering away at the Obama regime over this. Personally, I think Obama is trying to get his revenge for the shellacking his party received November 2. What do you all think?

“If Republicans had any backbone…”
Sadly, I’m afraid that one phrase says it all, Zelda. The system is set up so that the established, go-along-to-get-along spineless weasels of either party continue in their positions of power, and we dumb peasants can’t concentrate long enough to get rid of them.
