[Editor's Note: The real purpose behind their invasive searches is to acclimate the public to Big Brother control tactics. By using the fabricated 'terrorist' red herring as the justification, innocent Americans are being subjected to Gestapo style assaults on their rights of privacy and freedom to travel. For starters, consider the ludicrous pretext in this story for the TSA calling this woman out for a body search in the first place: "possibly because of an expired driver's license" .

When the traitors in congress pass the legislation which makes the driver's licence a required national ID card, you can expect this sort of thing whenever you are stopped by a cop whether on the street or in your car, or by a security guard while entering a building, etc. This level of personal intrusion mirrors the Nazi Gestapo's conduct before and during World War II EXACTLY.

One way to reverse the tide is to contact airlines and let them know that you will no longer fly until they do something about reigning in the TSA to conduct searches based on more reasonable parameters (remember all those nail clippers and nail files confiscated after 911?). An expired driver's licence or an expired passport (used by some people as their only form of photo ID acceptable to the airlines) is NOT reasonable grounds for calling someone out for a body search.

Another 'explanation' given in the article about the two Russian planes going down may be completely bogus: "Authorities believe two women smuggled explosives onto the aircraft, possibly in "torso packs" underneath their clothing.". Really? How could they possibly have determined that? Is it physically POSSIBLE to pack enough high energy explosives under a bra -unobtrusively- in order to to make an airliner explode to smithereens? I don't think so. Joe Vialls has found gaping holes in the official story line of these crashes and feels it's highly probable that those crashes were the work of covert military or covert intelligence agencies who made them crash for reasons completely unknown to us ; just like they made TWA 800 go down with two missiles; like the Lockerbie Pan Am 103 plane crash was a CIA/Mossad operation made to look like it was done by Libyans, as was the assassination of a policewoman in London in 1984, Yvonne Fletcher. Like 911, ALL of these covert operations are carried out to make the public think there is a huge terrorists campaign in place when in reality, it's our own traitorous, covert government agencies betraying us to usher in the fascist, Luciferian one world government. Why do we sit by and allow them to get away with it?..Ken]

A new layer of security at the nation's airports last month caught a Mira Mesa woman by surprise. Now Ava Kingsford wants other women to know just how uncomfortable the "secondary screening" process can become.

Kingsford, 36, was traveling back to San Diego from Denver International Airport with her 3-month-old son when she was flagged for a pat-down search, possibly because of an expired driver's license.

She took the procedure in stride until the female Transportation Security Administration screener announced, "I'm going to feel your breasts now."

Kingsford, wearing a snug-fitting tank top, objected to what she considered an unduly invasive search. More security agents arrived, warned her that she couldn't board her flight without submitting to the final step of the search, and the situation escalated.

"I was crying; I was shaking," she said. And just after she tugged down the top of her shirt just a bit to show that she wasn't hiding anything, the agents told her she wasn't going anywhere. She ended up renting a car for a two-day drive home.

"It was unbelievable," Kingsford said. "I think there is a line they cannot cross."

But Transportation Security Administration officials say their screeners did nothing wrong and that Kingsford's experience reflects a brutal new reality in passenger checkpoint screening.

The agency announced the extra security measures Sept. 16, just a few weeks after two Russian jetliners exploded in midair, killing all aboard. Authorities believe two women smuggled explosives onto the aircraft, possibly in "torso packs" underneath their clothing.

Bob Kapp, customer service manager for the TSA in Denver, said that to conduct a thorough pat-down search of women, "it does require going beneath, between and above the breasts."

In these first few weeks of the procedure, Kapp said, "a few people have been a little bit alarmed" by the touching. But he called it "a sign of the times" that is probably here to stay. Screeners are coached to try to minimize the discomfort by explaining each step as they go along.

Kingsford, however, thinks there ought to be some common sense to the approach and that the TSA is going to get a lot more complaints.

"There is nothing that I could possibly have been hiding there," she said.
