84-year-old woman strip searched at JFK
An 84-year-old New York grandmother has said she was injured and humiliated when she was strip searched at an airport after she asked to be patted down instead of going through a body scanner.
Lenore Zimmerman said she was taken to a private room and made to take off her pants and other clothes after she asked to forgo the screening because she worried it would interfere with her defibrillator. She missed her flight and had to take one two-and-a-half hours later, she said.
"I'm hunched over. I'm in a wheelchair. I weigh under 110 pounds (50 kilograms) and I'm going to be 85 in February. Do I look like a terrorist?" she said from her winter home at a seniors community in Coconut Creek, Florida. "This was the worst experience."
In the process of the strip search, as Zimmerman lifted a lightweight walker off her lap, the metal bars banged against her leg giving her a bloody bruise.
She said the TSA agents showed no sympathy and instead pulled down her pants, asking her to raise her arms.
Zimmerman's son said his mother was put through "a hell of a day," saying he did not understand why the agents treated her in such a manner.

So he was Osama bin Laid-in :O(
When I traveled in September I had my cat with me, a big boy named Osama. They searched him as well! Patted him down very politely.

Terrorist organizations use children and old people all the time to carry out attacks. Why should she not be searched?
And agree with Mandi, I've been searched in JFK too and they were nothing but polite and accommodating.
A total of four boxes, in addition to Mengji Liang and WANG Guo-Zhao, dress is very exposed to the two young women, looks and body are very good.Two sister not know Mengji Liang and WANG Guo-Zhao. They only know, northface jackets are eligible to use the Queen's club "Red Queen" box, and certainly all the big names, the boss must curry favor with the right to
She's a she, flan!
Mandi
lucky agent
looks like you got a wasta now Mandilulur
I have been taken into that "room" as well and searched thoroughly. But I was not stripped, nor humiliated. In fact, the TSA agent who patted me down is now my Facebook friend!

The TSA has denied that a strip search occurred, so lets wait for the news to develop.
search old ladies? Lol!
welcome to the land of the free home of the brave
Irony of the century---Biggest terrorist country is treating citizens of every other country as Terrorist.
Well, at least you all can't say anymore that they do racial stereotyping....
They seem to take security checks to an absurd extreme level and work like robots without using their brains especially when checking the ederly passengers
poor lady :(
