All these "poor- shocked -frightened -elderly" adjectives are far more insulting than having a woman run a wand under my breasts! It's disheartening that so many people are willing to put up with this kind of crap. A herd of sheep, for sure. Baaaahhh.... reason.com Free Phyllis Dintenfass The Green Bay Press Gazette reports: A 62-year-old retired technical college teacher was found guilty Tuesday of grabbing an airport screener's breasts after she said she was touched inappropriately during a routine screening in September at the Outagamie County Regional Airport. Phyllis Dintenfass of Appleton will be back in federal court for sentencing at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 1. The woman could face up to one year in federal prison and a fine of $100,000.... During closing arguments Tuesday, Robinson said Dintenfass was compliant with Transportation Security Administration supervisor Anita Gostisha, "up until she put her hands on her breasts." blog.lewrockwell.com Saluting Phyllis Dintenfass Posted by Wendy McElroy at July 27, 2005 05:08 AM I have lamented -- and often! -- the lack of protest that has greeted so many measures restricting civil liberties and stripping away the dignity of ordinary human beings going about their daily lives. Airport "security" has become the living symbol of those measures for me. As long as I am treated as a criminal rather than as a customer, I refuse to fly. I was both heartened and depressed by reading a news article that described Phyllis Dintenfass, a 62-year-old retired technical college teacher who did a 'tit for tat' -- that is, when a female TSA officer groped her breasts, she groped back and claimed self-defense. The heartening part: thank GOD someone is protesting the ludicrous and debasing procedures that pass for "security." You go girl!! The depressing part: she has been found guilty of assault by a federal court and will be sentenced on November 1st. She "could face up to one year in federal prison and a fine of $100,000." When the government swats a fly with a laser blast, then you know it is trying to enforce an entirely unreasonable law or policy.
