TSA searches hairstylist's Afro at Atlanta airport

[stevo]

A Dallas hairstylist says security officers at Atlanta's airport humiliated her when they subjected her large Afro hairstyle to a search in open view of other arriving passengers.

Isis Brantley tells The Dallas Morning News ( http://dallasne.ws/rkFYmV) that a Transportation Security Administration officer stopped her as she passed through the checkpoint Monday and insisted on searching her hair for weapons. She said the search in full public view brought her to tears.

Too fucking funny.

Doesn't surprise me considering the recent news of a bombing in Afghanistan where the bomb was located inside a man's Turban! Things like that always cause a knee jerk reaction by the TSA.

Just another thing to search, sounds like she's going to be seeking a pay day. People get searched constantly, more than likely a color'd picked her for the "random screening" anyway.

I've seen them search really long hair before nothing new. And I bet they offered to search her in private...she wants a pay day.

I can't say that I blame them. Haven't you guys seen all the crap that "Sweet Lou" Dunbar can keep in his 'fro? You could put a nuke in that thing.

Safety first!

if they can finger geors rectum, then i think her 'fro should also be checked.

Other than the TSA being a totally pointless group from a security point of view...what's the big deal? Nothing new. Just another way to waste time and not really secure much of anything.

When I was a baby and my parents were coming back to the US from Germany back in '79, they made my mom strip me down to nothingness, cut open the big fluffy disposable diaper I was wearing....then decided to slash all of them (which back then they were as big as fucking couch pillows) and made her put a cloth diaper on me for the plane ride home.

Mom said I pissed and shit on everything Makes me glad that I got my revenge at such an early age LOL
