Title: Federal Court Rules TSA Can Abusively Fondle Your Genitals With Immunity

The TSA – whose job is supposedly “fighting terrorism” – is, without doubt, one of America’s most corrupt and incompetent agencies. However, last year, they apparently became so unsatisfied with the mere ability to strip search babies, remove colostomy bags, beat up blind cancer patients, and fondle your genitalia, that they announced a more invasive physical pat-downs. The pat-downs, which TSA warned would probably prompt assault complaints with the police department because of their invasive nature, have been implemented and now, a federal court ruled that these complaints mean absolutely nothing because the TSA cannot be sued.

As the Washington Post reports, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, which sits in Philadelphia, held that TSA officers enjoy sovereign immunity because, despite their badges and titles as “officers,” they do not qualify as “investigative or law enforcement officers” who could be held legally responsible for abuses under the Federal Tort Claims Act.

The court looked at the question of when a TSA search should prompt protection under the Fourth Amendment. The court ominously noted that TSA screeners are more like federal meat inspectors than cops. Indeed, anyone whose ever found themselves subject to the invasive nature of a TSA pat down knows just how much this agency likes to inspect “meat.”

What this ruling highlights is the dehumanizing nature of the federal government who likens human beings who wish to travel by airplane as “meat” to be “inspected.”

“[W]e are sympathetic to the concerns this may raise as a matter of policy, particularly given the nature and frequency of TSOs’ contact with the flying public,” the court stated.

In a moment of rational thought, however, a single judge, Judge Thomas L. Ambro, dissented and aptly noted that the TSA are no different than cops conducting traffic stops and therefore should be held to the same degree of liability — which, as TFTP has reported at length, is not much. But, at least, they are not immune.

As WaPo reported, Ambro also noted that the majority’s opinion would bar passengers from bringing legal claims even in the most extreme cases, such as when TSA officers at Denver International Airport were accused of manipulating security procedures so that they could grope “attractive” male passengers.

“Their opinion leaves several plaintiffs without a remedy, even if a TSO assaults them, wrongfully detains them, or fabricates criminal charges against them,” Ambro wrote. “I do not believe this is what Congress intended.”

The court’s decision stemmed from the case of Nadine Pellegrino, a business consultant from Florida who experienced the invasive and demeaning nature of the TSA first hand.

As NBC reports:

According to court papers, Pellegrino had been randomly selected for additional screening at the Philadelphia airport before boarding a US Airways flight to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Pellegrino, then 57, objected to the invasiveness of the search, but conditions deteriorated and she was later jailed for about 18 hours, the papers show. Criminal charges were filed, and Pellegrino was acquitted at a March 2008 trial.

Because the federal government grants itself sovereign immunity under the Tort Claims Act, the TSA, like all federal government employees are shielded from civil and criminal liability except in very limited circumstances.

The TSA, who has never stopped a terror attack and is unable to stop 95 percent of the tests against its tactics, gropes and molests children and adults alike — who unquestioningly accept it. Now, the very small percentage of people who actually stand up to them will have no recourse.

We now know a potential reason why the TSA is putting together a watchlist of those who criticize them. Once they snub out the last few people who value freedom, Americans more concerned with an ineffective facade of safety instead of individual liberty will be lining up to have their genitals fondled and groped so they can feel secure.

"Federal Court Rules TSA Can Abusively Fondle Your Genitals With Immunity."
Come on now, I find it impossible to believe the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit ruled that the TSA can ABUSIVELY FONDLE your genitals. The reason I find it impossible to believe this and extremely difficult to believe anything else in this article is because it is authored by Matt Agorist and published in The Free Thought Project. If I were as good as nolu chan to research and find court ruling, I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that if I could find and read the ruling, by this appeals court, that nowhere would it show the word “abusively” when associate with searching the genital area.

The TSA has in the past and continuing through the present, refused to disclose anything about the reasons for their searches. They have said they disclose nothing so as not to inform terrorists about their methodology. If you stop and think about it....that makes sense. I don’t know, but maybe there are some perverts in the TSA upper management, since there are perverts in all roles of life, and maybe they woke up one morning and suddenly decided this would be a great day to have all TSA agents start to “abusively feel peters and pussies” just for the heck of it. Then on the other hand, maybe there were some TSA agents who had by accident discovered some folks hiding weaponry or bomb making material in their genital areas and TSA upper management decided it would therefore, given valid reason, be a good idea to search the genital areas when they felt they had good reason. If I had to guess between the two, I would go with the latter.

It seems real easy for some folks to badmouth the TSA. But then, these same folks seem to badmouth EVERYTHING the government does, or does not do for that matter. Matt Agorist is of course one of those folks, along with some folks here on LF. Matt begins his article by stating: The TSA – whose job is supposedly “fighting terrorism” – is, without doubt, one of America’s most corrupt and incompetent agencies. Damn that is really one bold hellacious declaration.

Let’s consider that for a moment. I have admitted on this forum that I have bad, well really terrible, eyesight. I have taken time to compile a list of all terrorist activity in the US since 9/11. I hope I found them all. So because of my bad, terrible, eyesight....I will ask if one of you naysayers who consistently express negative or pessimistic views about the TSA and always condemn them will please read down through the list of terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11 and show me a single one that occurred at an airport with the TSA on duty.

The underwear bomber 4 2009 A Nigerian man tries to blow up a US-bound airliner with explosives in his underwear but is subdued by passengers and crew—Matthew Spade separate file

I'm not gonna waste my time debunking all of your "claims" that TSA is "saving us all from the "terrists". The agency is nothing more than "security theater", like those unconstitutional DWI or license and registration roadblocks and firewood checkpoints.

You've been a TSA apologist and police state cheerleader as long as you've been posting online. And the fact of the matter is, very few of your laundry list of incidents even involved airports.

'Underwear bomber' was working for the CIA

The majority of your incidents were false-flag ops, covertly orchestrated by the FBI and/or the CIA.

The shoe bomber 4 2001 A British man tries to blow up a US-bound airliner with explosives in his shoes but is subdued by passengers and crew>/i.

PROBLEMS SURFACE WITH SHOE BOMBER STORY

With the hard evidence available to date, it is perfectly reasonable to conclude that the entire incident on Flight 63 was set up as a psychological reinforcer, designed to re-sensitize Americans and others to air travel, especially over the Christmas period and in the run-up to the Winter Olympic Games.

The TSA, who has never stopped a terror attack and is unable to stop 95 percent of the tests against its tactics, gropes and molests children and adults alike — who unquestioningly accept it.

You get that Parsons?

Ahhh...why am I wasting any more of my time with a Stasi mofo and gooberment worshiper like like you anyways?

At your age, you probably look forward to being groped by anyone.

Okay, I will make it easy for you. Then just tell show me one terrotist attack carried out at an airport in the US when the TSA was on duty.

I say....just ONE.

Surely as bad as some of you say the TSA is....you can name ONE successful terrorist attack at a US airport.

Maybe, Stoner can help you.

How about it, Stoner....can you name ONE.

After all, you were in complete agreement with Deckard as you so stated in your Post #1,

You can’t either....can you, Stoner.

Gatlin, with all of your self professed/claimed analytical skills, you totally fail to grasp the significance / meaning of what I stated in # 1.

To repeat: " "Federal Court Rules TSA Can Abusively Fondle Your Genitals With Immunity "

This, combined with Shitlerly skating, Obutthole skating, all of the FBI & DOJ skating, along with instances of other malfeasance, all add up to the public losing belief in Rule of Law.

THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY !!! "

In this original OP, this was another case of Official authorities abusing the public. As everyone here knows you are a cop sucker, and have a HUGE authority fetish. You never, ever will admit when an authority figure abuses their authority !! You are of the opinion that anyone in that position is above the law and CAN DO NO WRONG !!

I never made any claim either way about TSA stopping any terrorist.

There is a growing feeling / opinion in this country that political elites / cops / anyone in a position of authority is above the law, and that common citizens are peons to be abused.

That is an extremely dangerous occurrence in our nation.

Besides religious freedom, being abused by the " nobles " was another big reason why our ancestors came to America. For a quick example, watch the movie " Braveheart "

You with your fetish proudly cheer any abuse by authority's.

Before the US liberated Europe, the Nazis threw their weight around. The locals being unable to do anything suffered greatly. Until they " took the law into their own hands " and Nazi's started showing up dead with throats cut, screw drivers driven into their necks, etc.

You think you are so smart, yet you are dumb as a box of rocks !!

You are cheering / defending tyrannical behavior, and don't realize what that behavior is setting the stage for, the repercussions.

I can not speak for you, but I took the oath 4 times, and it did not have a expiration date on either occasion !!

If you ever did take the oath, you obviously did not understand it !! You obviously believe that MIGHT MAKES RIGHT !!

What you are cheering on is going to lead to a nightmare OF ANARCHY. But you are too stupid to understand that, nor the repercussions thereof !!

And some wonder why some of the cop assassinations have occurred. I do not condone those, but I think I have a clue about why.

Anyone with a basic grasp of history, will see what is going on, and what it can lead to!

Thankfully, most of the LEO's in my AO have their heads screwed on tight, and don't think like Gatlin. They would view Gatlin as a childish wanna be.

The only immunity is from a tort claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).

I simply cannot undersand how you can possibly say “this” ("Federal Court Rules TSA Can Abusively Fondle Your Genitals With Immunity") “is not good for the country” when that is not in anyway what the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Pellegrino v. United States Transportation Security Administration, No. 15- 3047 (3d Cir. 2018) ruled.

You may read the entire ruling in the PDF link at the bottom of this post. It is lengthy, so to save time, I have reprinted a Justia Opinion Summary of the ruling:

After a confrontational screening at Philadelphia International Airport in 2006, during which police were called, Pellegrino asserted intentional tort claims against TSA screeners. Under the Federal Tort Claims Act, the government generally enjoys sovereign immunity for intentional torts committed by federal employees, subject to the “law enforcement proviso” exception, which waives immunity for a subset of intentional torts committed by employees who qualify as “investigative or law enforcement officers,” 28 U.S.C. 2680(h). The Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Pellegrino’s suit, holding that TSA screeners are not “investigative or law enforcement officers” under the law enforcement proviso. They “typically are not law enforcement officers and do not act as such.” The court noted that the head of the TSA, the Under Secretary of Transportation for Security, has specific authority to designate employees to serve as “law enforcement officer[s]” 49 U.S.C. 114(p)(1). An employee so designated may carry a firearm, make arrests, and seek and execute warrants for arrest or seizure of evidence. Screening locations are staffed by both screening officers and law enforcement officers.
Pay close attention while reading the summary and the ruling in the PDF and you will find that NOWHERE in the ruling does it say anything….ANYTHING AT ALL….about where a Federal Court Rules TSA Can Abusively Fondle Your Genitals With Immunity. It is just NOT in the ruling and it NEVER happened.

Yet your screamed that “THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY" when “THIS” never happened….never happened in any way whatsoever.

In his suit, Pellegrino merely “asserted intentional tort claims against TSA screeners.” That is what the suit against TSA was all about. It had NOHING to do with genitalia at all!

The Federal Court Rules TSA Can Abusively Fondle Your Genitals With Immunity headling is an intentional fabricated LIE meant to dupe people and solicit support to condemn TSA and the government, while it definitely is as nolu chan sated in Post #19: “The only immunity is from a tort claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).

PDF: Pellegrino v. United States Transportation Security Administration, No. 15-3047 (3d Cir. 2018)

I hope and trust that you now better understand this situation and I thank you for your time …

Did I get this right, nolu?

There is a growing feeling / opinion in this country that political elites / cops / anyone in a position of authority is above the law, and that common citizens are peons to be abused.

I agree, but it's falling on mostly deaf ears. In 21st Century Amerika, the police/surveillance state has become The New Normal

Next year, the first generation of Americans who weren’t yet born on September 11, 2001 will come of age. They’ll graduate high school. They’ll get jobs. They’ll vote.

What they will not do, because they can’t, is remember: Remember a time before the 9/11 attacks, or the changes in American society that took place in the aftermath of those attacks. They won’t be equipped to yearn for better days that they’ve only heard about at second hand from their parents and grandparents.

They won’t remember a time when one could walk into an airport and get on an airplane without risking sexual assault in public by employees of the Transportation Security Administration.

They won’t remember a time before the domestic national security state was consolidated under an overtly nationalist label more appropriate to its creators’ police state aspirations: The Department of Homeland Security.

They won’t remember a time when the incidence of police “checkpoints” conducting unconstitutional searches in the name of stopping DUIs and drug trafficking ranged from exceedingly rare to non-existent (and when they were fewer than now for immigration enforcement in the 100-mile wide “constitution-free zone” on the borders and coastlines), or when there weren’t cameras at every intersection and scattered between to watch them whenever they left their homes.

Because they won’t remember those days, all the evils we’ve allowed the state to impose upon us since 2001 will seem, well, normal to them. And from normality follows permanence.

*****

It's somewhat understandable that kids would become accustomed to this police state dystopia, but for crying out loud - Gatlin is old - old enough that he should be able to remember when this really was a free country.

Has he simply not seen the countless infringements on our lives, or has he always been a cheerleader for the State and a slave to gooberment authority?
