The Poor-Man's Guide to Modernity - Independent Media Center

...
I have never felt more violated in my life than I did that morning at DFW, and
I’ve heard of others feeling the same way after these “pat downs.” Just a couple
weeks ago, a video of a six-year-old girl being patted down by TSA made
headlines. Talk about unjust and unacceptable. So I decided to speak to a TSA
supervisor about how I felt, and make a video about what happened to post on
my blog.
This “pat down” is a total violation of our rights (we shouldn’t be searched this
way without probable cause or a search warrant), therefore I will be filing a
complaint via phone, online and also in writing with the TSA to complain each
and every time for as long as the TSA is violating my rights. I’m 100% against it,
and if you care about your freedom, you should be too. This is precisely the kind
of unjust search and seizure our Constitution was created to protect us from.
...
Here’s the video I made right after going through the invasive, unjust,
unconstitutional and ineffective “pat down.” Honestly, I don’t like that I’m putting
myself out there like this, but I wanted you to know what happened, what I was
feeling, and that I hope you, too, will speak up if and when this happens to you.
We shouldn’t be giving up our liberties as Americans because of our fears. The
government can’t keep us safe. No matter how much they promise us they can,
it’s a false promise.

And here’s the TSA compliment/complaint card that I filled out and mailed to the
DFW TSA. I’ll be filling one out each time I get “patted down” at an airport.
Hopefully tears won’t be involved every time:
