Cancer survivor accepts TSA apology, says agents need training
Yesterday on American Morning, bladder cancer survivor Thomas Sawyer, 61, shared his personal story of the pat down he received at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. After the pat down caused his urine bag to leak, Sawyer said he was embarrassed and humiliated.
Later in the day, TSA chief John Pistole called Sawyer personally to apologize. Sawyer accepted the apology.
Today, he joins AM again. John Roberts asks him what changes he thinks the TSA should make to be better accommodating.
Airport Reality Check: Few receive pat downs, says former TSA official
Support seems to be slipping for the new airport security measures.
In a poll earlier this month, 81 percent of people supported the new full-body scanners. Now, only 64 percent support them, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll. And, 50 percent say the pat-down procedures go too far.
Today on American Morning, Kiran Chetry talks to former FAA and TSA security official Charlotte Bryan.
Bryan, now a consultant for Command Consulting Group, explains how few air travelers will encounter the scans and pat downs this weekend, and if the public scrutiny is justifiable or overly sensitive.
