Inaccurate

Pam: First, the picture you use here represents the image body scanners projected before TSA had privacy filters installed. This is not what the image looks like now. Please use an accurate image so not to confuse your readers. Second, TSA has said they did NOT require the elderly woman to remove her adult diaper. You need to check your facts BEFORE you write an article. And if this woman was so concerned about her mother's dignity, why was she putting her on a plane alone in a soiled diaper?

Yes, there is nothing in NJ Statute 4:22-18 that indicates that seat belts are required for pets.
4:22-18. Carrying animal in cruel, inhumane manner; disorderly persons offense

A person who shall carry, or cause to be carried, a living animal or creature in or upon a vehicle or otherwise, in a cruel or inhumane manner, shall be guilty of a disorderly persons offense and punished as provided in subsection a. of R.S.4:22-17.

And, of course, Pam, the TSA never lies. They've never lied before, and they aren't now. They're the most truthful agency out there!

You're the one who needs to check your facts. The TSA's blatant spin is carefully calculated -- no, they didn't "require" her to remove her diaper, they just threatened her with not flying if she didn't. Nah, that's not coercive.

And quit blaming the victim. You have no idea when that poor woman's diaper was soiled. Maybe she was so terrorized by the TSA goons that she wet herself then and there.

But you've clearly drunk the Kool-Aid. Now be a good little sheeple, and bend over and spread 'em.
