Freedom At What Cost?

When a breast cancer survivor endures what she called a "humiliating pat-down" at an airport, it's time for all of us to wake up to the fact that in many cases, our federal government is completely out of control. Lori Dorn went through a full-body scanner and it detected her prostheses, her tissue expanders for a breast reconstruction surgery.

She had documentation to prove and explain the type of expanders she had, the medical evidence that she had undergone surgery. A TSA official refused to allow her retrieve the information and she was forced to allow an agent touch her breasts. And this, in front of other passengers.

This is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it isn't lost on me the irony in this horrific situation. No one in this country should ever be subject to such public humiliation.

The TSA has apologized, but the damage has been done already. The question remains as to what Congress is going to do to fix this problem with over-reaching activities of the TSA.

It's shameful and members of Congress should be ashamed that this type of behavior has been allowed to continue.
