Hey, Barack Obama, when are we going to see a stop to this?

Hey, Barack Obama, when are we going to see a stop to this? You and I know the TSA is a useless organization there only to give a sense that the federal government is doing something to fight terrorism instead of twiddling it's thumbs.

Does the TSA hire anyone with an IQ over 70 and a scintilla of common sense....EVER?

It sounds like a scene out of a horrible first date: a woman, standing alone in front a restroom mirror, embarrassed and visibly upset as other women come and go pretending not to notice her.

But this wasn't a horrible first date; it was yet another horrible misadventure of a nursing mom. Amy Strand joins a long list of women who foolishly dared to believe they could board an airplane without being publicly humiliated.

In the case of the Hawaiian high school vice-principal, a TSA agent stopped her during screening last week because of her breast pump. Unconvinced it was not a weapon, he banished Strand (and her nine-month-old daughter Eva) to the women’s room to pump a bottle of milk. The agent would not let her through the checkpoint with empty bottles.

"I'm in a dress, in heels and I find myself in front of a sink and mirrors with travelers coming in and out of the bathroom," Strand told ABCNews.com. "I'm standing at the sink with my breast hanging out, pumping. I wanted to cry. I was humiliated."

The smell of elections is in the air, I don't think they'll be doing anything about this any time soon.

I for one would not mind seeing change in regards to overhauling this agency called the TSA

My wife has that exact Madela set in the picture. There would be a lawsuit had they done that to her. My support goes to this woman and the dismantling of the TSA. Oddly enough, the IRS recognizes breast pumps as a medical device for Flex Spending Accounts, got ours tax free.

Maybe its boobs that are dangerous
