85-year-old says she was strip searched at JFK

(AP) NEW YORK — An 85-year-old New York grandmother says she was injured and humiliated during a strip search at a New York City airport.

Lenore Zimmerman says she was on her way to a flight to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She says she was searched after she asked to forgo body the scanners because she worried it would interfere with her defibrillator.

She says she is hunched over, weighs about 110 pounds (50 kilograms) and is going to be 86 in February. "Do I look like a terrorist?" she asked. She says the screener made her take off her pants.

Anyone still doubts that US is on its way to be a fully intrusive security centric police state just like Israel?

Came across this, apparently pro war GOP Christian leader Mike Huckabee wants Obama's wife and daughters to be pat-downed by TSA:


Mike Huckabee To Obama: Have TSA Pat Down First Family

Yet more potential evidence that the 2012 presidential campaign is already upon us.

Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and Fox News personality, has dared President Obama to motorcade to Washington Reagan National Airport with the First Family and have the Obamas submit to one of those very controversial airport pat-down inspection.

Isn't it bit hypocritical on part of Huck... he supports freedum bloodbath in Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza etc but does not support strip searches of American women as pre-emptove defense against blowback underwear attacks?
