Enough is enough, Sr K~~ IMO, TSA has NO business at all even thinking of touching Grandma's diaper, or for that matter, anyone else's diaper either. IF (BIG IF) there is any doubt if this person is a suicide bomber, send them through the x-ray machine... Have we even had ONE Grandma or Grandpa in a wheelchair do ANY type of civil disobedience? Or ever arrested for trying to make bombs? There has been Exactly ZERO of these folks.....as a matter of fact, can you give us even two or three domestic white terrorists (other than the Oklahoma City Bomber) who have tried to bomb a plane, train, ship, bus, other?

This has nothing to do with Obama, It is simple human decency. TSA is way out of line

That old lady should have never been singled out in the first place. I have zero tolerance for overbearing TSA employees and this whole incident is just way, way over the top. I'll praise a president who brings some sanity to this whole messy process. I'll deride one as being insensitive, and idiotic for continuing this madness. If you're fine with this............good for you..........but I'm not and I won't shut up in order to appease the bureaucracy.

I sincerely hope we're all not one day forced by TSA agents to change our diaper. While the TSA expends energy and resources smelling elderly diapers to determine whether they need to be changed, Muslim fanatics are planning how to enter a plane by walking through the terminal via the baggage exits in reverse direction, or getting a ground crew member to support their cause. The lack of real security at airports is staggering. They need to stop groping elderly ladies in wheelchairs and build an army of highly trained dogs. youtube.com
