STOP Abuse by Police and Airport Security

I am writing to request your help and getting my story out to public and ask people to come forward to help change the manner in which airport security conducts its business. I experienced a breach of my civil rights and personal dignity at the hands of airport security yesterday. I obviously fit the profile of someone that needs to be stopped (and cannot recall a time that I was not pulled aside); however, this time, I was touched, yelled at, threatened and had my personal items strewn across the airport floor. To add insult to injury, the "security guard" called the police over as if I was the problem. After being subjected to an intensive search of my person and belongings, I was permitted to leave the screening area with the continuous threat that "my right to board the plane can be taken away at any time." NOTE: I am not opposed to being profiled everytime I go to the airport. I am not opposed to any search necessary to ensure the safety of all air travelers. Yet, this should NOT allow airport security a blanket right to do whatever they want to do to passengers, especially when they are being compliant. This is a national problem... Women complain of being groped during airport body searches at the Sky Harbor International Airport and other airports across the nation. www.arizonarepublic.com:80/special42/articles/0207frisk07.html The victim has no rights in these situations and no proof that they did not do anything to warrant such abuse. POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Maybe you can help by helping us get video cameras placed in screening areas so this type of abuse is recorded.
