Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes four years ago, the Colorado teenager says TSA screeners forced her to go through a full-body scanner in Salt Lake City last week, breaking her $10,000 insulin pump in the process.

According to Sandra Barry, Savannah’s mother, her daughter was coming home from a school trip when screeners required to her to go through a full-body scanner despite the fact that the girl had a doctor’s note describing her condition and stating that she should be given a pat-down rather than subjected to screening machines.

But I’m sure she feels a lot safer now!

  1. Parents in the US need to teach their kids how to be aggressive and stand up for their rights against the police state. Demanding a pat down instead of a dose of x-rays is a good place to start. Just say NO to the the TSA

  2. Most kids are taught to be compliant to uniformed people. For their own safety.
