A dear friend of mine and former colleague was in a horrible accident years ago. For all intent and purpose, he should have died, but he didn’t. He has undergone dozens and dozens of surgeries over the years and he too has metal implants in several locations in his body. I recall him saying once after 911, that he was taken to a private room and forced to strip completely naked. While naked, they examined him quite thoroughly. This man is a modest and humble person and found the experience quite embarrassing and humiliating. Yet, TSA agents are allowed to continue to use these pat down procedures which are spelled out in their Screening Management: Standard Operating Procedures manual in spite of all of the hundreds of complaints they continue to receive. But let three suspected terrorists complain about being patted down and a federal judge rules that it must stop. Three detainees at Guantanamo Bay filed a lawsuit against Barack Obama, claiming that they are being violated every time they are searched when they leave or return to their cells. Saeed Mohammed Saleh Hatim, Fadhel Hussein Saleh Hentif and Abdurrahman Abdallah Ali Mahmoud Al Shubati filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. They complained that new search guidelines issued in May was disrespectful of their religious and cultural sensitivities. According to the new procedures (pages 6,7 of the lawsuit): This is getting totally out of hand, some of us that have to wear metal plates or air cast have to go through screening that may take up to 20-30 minutes to get through screening, we complain and get no wear, yet suspected terrorists complain and a judge tells TSA to stop. What has happen to America.
