(CBS News) The Transportation Security Administration defended on Sunday the actions of its airport security officers at a northwest Florida airport after the agency came under criticism for requiring a 95-year-old woman to remove her adult diaper during a pat down.
The incident took place June 18 at Northwest Florida Regional Airport near Pensacola, Fla., while Jean Weber of Destin, Fla., escorted her mother, who suffers from leukemia, to Michigan to live with family members before moving into an assisted living facility, CNN reports.
"She had a blood transfusion the week before, just to bolster up her strength for this travel," Weber told CNN.
Weber didn't identify her mother to the cable news network.

The apathy and lack of concern towards overzelous procedures which harms the dignity of our citizens is scary. Contact your Senators and Representatives God Bless America

Ben Franklin said " a people willing to trade a little freedom for security deserves nether for freedom is not free. My family and countless more have fought in several wars to defend the american consitution which includes freedom at a very dear price.

Next time bring a change of diaper, that was kind of silly. We live in challenging times so we have to get that!

This woman had no business traveling without a spare diaper anyway, old or not. We live in different times, everyone should know that by now

This is not the "free" country I was raised to believe it was. Americans are slaves to be used and abused by the government rulers. How far will they go? Has anyone read the US constitution? Does anyone care or do you think you, your children or your family will not be next and it will not get worse?

TSA is totally out of control, patheticially, U.S. Lawmakers sit on their hands

This is a pat down that's way over the line. But if the diaper was messy, TSA should have changed it.
