TSA Targets 81 Year Old William Shatner In Crowd At Airport For Terrorist Check

They cause his pants to fall down to the floor in the security pat down progress in front of a crowd of people in line embarrassing him. What I want to know is why did they purposely single him out? He's 81. He was groped and publicly humiliated. Many people are saying they did it because he is white. I don't know but Captain Kirk is probably extremely ticked off about this.

Star Trek legend William Shatner was left nursing a bruised ego when his trousers fell down during an airport security check in front of dozens of fellow travellers.

The actor was queuing at Los Angeles International Airport to catch a flight to South Africa when he was singled out for a search by officials.

 

Well, I never... His PANTS fell down?

 

they do this at random, should movie stars be exempt?

 

TSA agents are morons. Captain Kirk a terrorist? Give me a break.

 

final frontier has been breached

 

The last thing we need is an old starship captain breaking into a cockput with his phaser on stun.

 

This is the price we pay to avoid profiling for likely terror bombers as El Al has done successfully for decades.

What the (*)(*)(*)(*)ity (*)(*)(*)(*) has this world come to when Captain Kirk gets manhandled???????

Those bastards!

 

Why did they have to undo his trousers? Can't they do a patdown thru your clothes?

 

What's more, William Shatner has never even portrayed a terrorist in US cinema.

 

Why was he wearing pants that were obviously too big? Why weren't they held up with a belt?

 

Thats how Nazi's are, they target the weak because the weak is the face of the ememy that the Nazi's have created. I'll never forgive Bush for creating TSA and Homeland Security. Never.

 

If they didn't search him, then they'd hear from others saying, why didn't he get searched? Why is he better then us? While I don't agree with being searched, its the rules. Therefore I don't fly anymore and haven't since 2001. I take the train or drive. If I was going to South Africa, then I'd hop a banana boat.

 

Not only is he white but he's not a homosexual either.

The poor man has nothing going for him.

 

The title of the OP is all hyperbole. They didn't "target" Captian Kirk anymore then they "target" anyone. TSA agents don't do those searches because they are looking just for terrorists. The look for weapons, drugs, fugitives, and all kinds of things. They certainly didn't search him because they thought he was a terrorist.

He got randomly searched just like everyone else that gets searched. When are people going to stop being such drama queens. If you don't like it don't fly.

I'm not even in favor of what the TSA does but some of you guys are so far removed from reality you make everything into a soap opera.

 

That's nonsense.

Do you think there is a computer that tells the TSA goons which person to search?

I don't.

They just pick out whoever interests them.

 

Yes, they randomly choose who they want. So what?

 

Shatner has been terrorizing the TVs of innocent people for decades with his (*)(*)(*)(*)ty acting. Maybe the TSA had a tip that he was planning to do a surprise one man show of some sort for e captive audience on his flight. Surely that would constitute a terrorist act not to mention torture.

 

So don't tell us Shattner wasn't targeted because he was,

 

TSA is a bunch of goons thanks America!

 

Wanna buy a bridge ....... got plenty to pick from ?

 

they must have thought he might have a phaser.

 

Hey, is that a photon torpedo in your pants, or are you just glad to seem me ..................
