Mother Arrested After Confrontation with TSA over Pat-Down of Daughter

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?

"TSA Thug Grabs Crotch of Wounded Vet"

How can we possibly ask these troops to put their lives and health on the line to defend our freedom and then treat them like common terrorists in their own country? We should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing our wounded veterans to be mistreated, especially when they have so much metal left in their bodies that they set off metal detectors. This is simply disgraceful.
