TSA Treats 95-Year-Old Wheelchair-Bound Veteran Like a “Terrorist,” $300 Stolen

Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars | April 18 2012

Wheelchair-bound 95-year-old veteran Omer Petti and his 85-year-old partner Madge Woodward were treated like terrorists by TSA agents at San Diego International airport, ostensibly so TSA workers could separate them from $300 dollars in cash which subsequently went missing.

“Can you imagine an 85-year-old lady and 95-year-old retired Air Force Major in wheelchairs being treated like terrorists?” Petti asked the Detroit News’ Marney Keenan.

Given the TSA’s recent history – yes – veterans and old people are two of the federal agency’s primary targets and are routinely subjected to intense harassment and abuse.

After Petti had removed his shoes, belt, clothing and other accessories he was ordered by a TSA agent to place a money clip containing $300 in folded bills into its own separate bin.

After walking through a metal detector, both Petti and Woodward were patted down, with Woodward being taken to a separate room for extra “screening” due to the fact that residue from her nitroglycerin heart pills had set off an alarm.

“When I was patted down, I’ve never before been touched in every part of my body before,” Woodward said.

After TSA workers had routed through their personal belongings and fondled their every body part , the two were allowed to leave but Petti noticed the $300 was missing.

“When I told him we were going to miss our flight he asked me if I was objecting or refusing his request.” Petti says. “I said: ‘No, I’d do anything I was asked, I would just like to know where my $300 went.’ ”

Fearing they would miss their flight, Petti and Woodward had to settle for filling out a “Tort Claim Package,” and were subsequently rushed to the departure point at a dangerously high speed by a wheel chair attendant.

After analyzing security tapes of the incident, San Diego Harbor Police said the footage was “too blurry,” and the TSA seemingly just wants Petti to forget about his missing $300.

Without writing an article of book-length proportions it is impossible to list all the examples of TSA agents having been caught in criminal acts. It comes to the point where simply regurgitating prior incidents serves no purpose. There can no longer be any doubt that the Transportation Security Administration has become a beacon for perverts and criminals who take a TSA job because it gives them free reign to abuse, sexually harass and steal from the public – often targeting the weakest members of society.

Let’s try a different approach. Listed below are just the most recent headlines from Google News concerning TSA workers involved in criminal activity, negligence and harassment.

Remember, all these stories are just from the past couple of weeks. How can any federal agency with this level of rampant corruption, incompetence, criminality and sheer negative publicity still manage to survive in its current form?

If the words of former TSA head Kip Hawley, who this week spoke of how the TSA had made traveling within the United States an “unending nightmare,” carry any weight, hopefully not for very much longer.

  1. Sounds like another successful day for the TSA goons. I wonder if they compile and split the day’s loot evenly, or if each agent gets to keep what they steal?

    I can’t tell you how many vacations I have skipped or cancelled just to avoid the fascism masquerading as security at the airports. Instead I have stayed home or taken a local day trip instead. That’s revenue lost to the businesses and communities where I would have travelled and stayed.

    Any trips I plan for the future are places within 6 hours drive time from my location, until gas jumps over $5 a gallon, or the TSA goons take their security theater show on the road by harassing citizens with roadblocks and searches.

    I’ve read articles stating that foreigners are reluctant to travel to the US because of the hassle of going through TSA. So how much is the TSA security theater really costing the economy in addition to the wasted tax dollars on supporting this tentacle of the military-terrorism-industrial complex? That doesnt’ even include the Wall Street/Washington connections…such as Chertoff, former director of DHS, who is now in business selling naked body scanners to TSA (conflict of interest? You betcha). Ron Paul is right in wanting abolish the TSA. The sad thing is I don’t think Europeans and Asians even have this level of garbage in their airports, so why do we tolerate this?

    1. Hi A.L. I know that England also does this type of over-the-top dehumanizing procedure at Heathrow airport. I’m not sure re other European countries. I also read that the Europeans banned the Chertoff machines because they are designed to kill us via radiation. Many Americans are doing as you are doing and no longer fly unless they have to. The only good thing about it all is that the people are waking up.

      The TSA agenda is part of the NWO takeover and the imposition of the 4th Reich in America. It is all so very, very sick. I wish we could wave a magic wand and have this nightmare we’re living disappear.

      Thanks for posting. Blessings ~G
