Andrea Fornella Abbott of Clarksville, Tennessee got angry on July 9, 2011 when the Transportation Security Administration wanted to pat-down her daughter when they were preparing to fly to Baltimore from the Nashville International Airport.
Abott insisted she did not want her daughter to be “touched inappropriately" or have her “crotch grabbed,” by the TSA. Of course the TSA cannot let innocent young flesh pass through its domain without copping a feel or at least capturing some naked body scans, so the TSA insisted.
According to, TSA goon, Sabrina Birge, the anger elevated, and Abott become irate. When Abott yelled and cursed at the sensitive TSA workers, she was arrested for disorderly conduct and hauled off to jail. Abott was later released on bond.
Not only did this woman's daughter nearly become a victim of a federally sanctioned sex crime, she missed her flight, and had to watch her mother go to jail. We will never know what sort of horrible terrorist attack was thwarted by the TSA when this angry mother was arrested and taken to jail. Hmm, if someone insisted on molesting your daughter, do you think you might get just a little upset?

The TSA is disgusting. She had every right to protect her child from the porno scanners and groping. To treat children and minors this way let alone our elderly is breathtakingly inappropriate. The fact that the TSA cannot see this nor find other ways to address security is further proof of a future police state. I aplaud this woman for resisting and I suspect if charges are filed there will be a significant public backlash.
