TSA Chief John Pistole - 'Screening Techniques Don’t Include Body-Cavity Searches… Yet'

So much for that change of heart.

Video embedded below.



"TSA Chief Pistole:

“We’re in the risk management business, being a risk-based intelligence organization. The information that I’ve seen out in public about body cavities for bombs I think is perhaps not accurate. There’s been reporting of one incident involving the Saudi Deputy Administrator of Interior. The forensics on that are not dis-positive and there is stronger indication that it was actually an underwear type bomb strapped to his upper thigh rather than a body cavity. That being, said even if it is a body cavity you still have to be an initiator. You have to have some external vice that cause that initiation such as having the TAPT that is closer to the PA10 that had a modified syringe. There has to be something external that initiates the device. That’s what the advanced imaging technology machine will pick up. Any anomaly outside the body. So we’re not going to get in the business of doing body cavity (searches) that’s just not where we are.”

  1. I'm trying to raise awareness about sexual assault victims and individuals with specific mental illnesses that prevent them from going through the new airport procedures. I have written my personal story in regards to how I can't fly and would like to share it:
