Page 2: Suspicious Package? It “Depends”…

"Page 2" is a new segment of my blog devoted to those news articles that you may have missed, buried on page 2 of newspapers and websites...

From CNN: A 95-year old elderly woman was subjected to a pat-down by the TSA at a Florida Airport.  During the pat down, "TSA agent came out and told her that her mother's Depend undergarment was "wet and it was firm, and they couldn't check it thoroughly." The mother and daughter left to find a bathroom, at the TSA officer's request, to take off the adult diaper."

Sure, we can all get upset that this 95 year old lady had to go through this.  And, yes, it was probably a bit extreme.  However,  I applaud the TSA for doing their job thoroughly.  I mean, really, why would anyone WANT to check an adult diaper, described as "wet" and "firm", of a 95 year old woman?

I wouldn't!
