In the latest humiliation against women, the TSA forced a new mom to pump milk out of her breasts and fill plastic bottles with her breast milk before she was allowed to board a plane in Hawaii.
As this article explains, this is all part of the TSA's nefarious goal of the dehumanization and intimidation of the public. It has absolutely nothing to do with air security:

Did you read the rest of the article? Makes a funny point -- she's lucky they didn't arrest her for trafficking raw milk! Ha ha. Or not.
How do we stop this? Why is it we can't make them stop this nonsense?

Actually,
Yes I did read the entire article. sorry I couldn't "get through the entire thing.. "duty called". First, I amazed that she was actually able to fill all those bottles.. A lot of "milking mamas" I know, including myself could not pull off that feat under such circumstsndusl and stressful conditions. You're right- I'm surprised as well after filling those bottles that she wasn't charged for trafficking raw milk. It's sad, in the year we're in, women are looked down upon for having her body do as it is intended to do ..
I wish, honestly-- I could get into this more, but I haven't the time. This entire subject rings in my being- but I have obligations I need to attend. Yes, I made a joke,"squirt them in the eye".. And yes I would, and the joke is actually
Not a joke. I'm a "pro-breastfeeder through and through-
Nobody shod ever be treated this way..
I'll be back

Very good point. Funny too but both are very serious topics. I bet the nazis wish they had thought of that angle first.
How do we stop this? Why is it we can't make them stop this nonsense?
Herein lies the challenge. We must expose every insane move they make.

Its worth reading the actual news article
http://www.ksdk.com/news/article/307441/28/TSA-asks-woman-to-prove-her-breast-pump-is-real
Lihue, HI (KITV) -- A Hawaiian mom says she was humiliated when asked to prove her breast pump was real at an airport.
The woman says she was flagged for additional screening at the Lihue Airport Wednesday because of her electric breast feeding pump.
She claims agents told her she couldn't take the pump on the plane because the bottles in her carry-on were empty.
"I asked him if there was a private place I could pump and he said no, you can go in the women's bathroom. I had to stand in front of the mirrors and the sinks and pump my breast in front of every tourist that walked into that bathroom. I was embarrassed and humiliated and then angry that I was treated this way.
When the bottles were full, she was allowed back on the plane.
The TSA is apologizing, saying the agent made a mistake.
The agency released a statement, saying in part: "We accept responsibility for the apparent misunderstanding and any inconvenience or embarrassment this incident may have caused her."
The TSA recently changed screening procedures to allow women to carry breast milk onto planes without testing it.
However, breast pumps may require additional screening.

Absolutely freaking bizarre and outrageous of the TSA - but it does not look like it is actual TSA policy.

Give some people a little "power" and they think they can do whatever they want.
Absolutely disgusting and sadly, so prevalent in TSA and other government "authorities" worldwide.

The TSA goes too far. Why doesn't anyone call them on such garbage? Where are the lines of their "authority" drawn? Will no one stand up for their rights?
I mean this is getting ridiculous....

You don't have to conform to their perverted game of touch them, you can always take a train, or bus or even your own car, but buy an electric-battery biofuel car, and save money and the planet. It's a lifetime investment.
