TSA are IDIOTS! (Spilled a urostomy bag)
As horrible as it would be for us with breat pros. I can't begin to comprehend what this poor man had to go through. There is no excuse for such perverted behavior by anyone.

TSA
That is so awful! I am dreading the next time I have to fly. I certainly hope the TSA takes all this feedback from people with medical issues and comes up with some kind of an alternative plan to get us through without embarrassment like this poor man had to endure. This just makes me sick.
Did anyone see the skit on Saturday Night Live regarding this - it was hilarious, but creepy at the same time.

poor man
perhaps they will have some kind of certificate for anyone with misc medical issues..flying-I am sure many many kinks...so sorry he had to deal with it...0 -
I'm not a believer in being
I'm not a believer in being overly litigious, but this poor man needs to sue the TSA-not only to be compensated for what he had to go through, but so that new standards & education can be implemented for the screeners. Surely there must have been SOME mention of dealing with people with medical accessories, or prosthesis or handicaps.
Seriously, I hope this causes a big stink with the TSA & doesn't get swept under the rug, because it's terrible what happened. I would have thrown a FIT!0 -
I hope I'm mis-reading what you wrote!KathiM said:That is AWFUL!
Hummmm....with my 'other' cancer, many of my friends have colostomy/ostomy bags...full of ...well...you know!!!
Serves the guy right who messes with THAT!!!
Hugs, Kathi
How can 'it' "serve the guy right" to be forced to walk through an airport soaked with his own urine because a less than human male refused to act at all human but chose to (when warned before hand to not be so rough as the bag would be opened) cause an urostomy bag to be spilled over a cancer survivor and then him forced to walk through the airport not only wet but smelling of urine?
If I mis-read - I apologize. I do that sometimes expecially with something that is important to me.

I meant the TSA guy....
Most of my colorectal guys and gals do what this poor soul does...carries a change of clothes...
Consider the source...you have 'known' me for a long time...do you thing I would ever come down on the 'side' of the 'outside non-cancer world'?
Apology accepted...

- I'm sorry I should have taken time and read better and let my temper cool down. I had called the offices of Sen. Thune and Rep. Noem and had been treated with respect. However, getting Sen. Johnson's office has been frustrating.
Again - I am sorry for my 'spout off' (or what ever anyone wants to call 'it') - it wasn't called for at all. My apologies, not only to KathiM, but to all who I have offended.

part of me feels offended,ladyg said:Yes the TSA
people are complete idiots! Last we my husband got the full pat down experience and you will never guess why. He was wearing suspenders! I just couldn't believe it!

part of me feels offended, and part of me feels like I dont want to survive cancer to be killed on a plane by some idiot. They have to have respectful, dignified protocols in place for people with medical issues and have them in place ahead of time. I have two prosthesis and I dont mind them being checked if it can be done privately without humiliation. I feel this especially for the people with colostomies and urostomies. I guess its easier for me than a uni as I can just look flat. It is really hard when there are people who are out there who will stop at nothing to cause another incident. I vote we spend on energies on world peace and then we wont be groping people. (sigh)0
