They keep coming -- horrific examples of bad behavior by the TSA during pat-downs and body scans. The lastest: A bladder cancer survivor was soaked by his own urine after a TSA agent broke the man's urostomy bag.

"I tried to warn him that he would hit the bag and break the seal on my bag, but he ignored me," said the passenger, Thomas Sawyer. "Sure enough, the seal was broken and urine started dribbling down my shirt and my leg and into my pants. They never apologized. They acted like they hadn’t seen what happened. But I know they saw it because I had a wet mark. I am totally appalled by the fact that agents that are performing these pat-downs have so little concern for people with medical conditions."

From 3-year-old girls to nursing moms and now cancer patients, the TSA is racking up some major PR disasters, and they're heartbreaking, and they're infuriating, and there needs to be some additional sensitivity training, clearly.

The John and Ken Show just read a list of airplane hijackers and it was all Mohameds, Farouks and Al-Hassans.

The name of the American the TSA was harassing in this latest incident was:

Tom Sawyer said he has never been so embarrassed in his life. On November 7th, he was going through Detroit Metropolitan Airport security when TSA officials told him he needed to be patted down.
"You do what they say or you don't fly," said Sawyer.
Sawyer immediately asked to have the procedure done in a private room. Sawyer said after little debate the officials took him to a small office. Because he didn't have time to put his belt back on, Sawyer said his pants fell down as soon as he entered the room, and that's where the humiliation began.
"You wouldn't think standing with your pants down in front of two other men would be embarassing, but it was. I didn't know them," said Sawyer.
After having to ask twice to pull up his pants, Sawyer tried to tell them about his medical history. But he said TSA didn't seem to acknowledge him at all.
"I told them, 'I need to tell you my medical condition.' But he said, 'It really isn't necessary.' He just continued to tell me about the pat down. He completely ignored my three requests to tell them about my medical condition." Sawyer said with angered enthusiasm.
The 61-year-old is a bladder cancer survivor and has had to wear a urostomy bag to go to the bathroom since his surgery 3 years ago. Despite his warnings, Sawyer says the TSA official proceeded to press down his chest with an open palm until he struck the urostomy bag filled with urine.
"I had a round spot the size of a small pancake and urine was dribbling down my pants," Sawyer said. "This was so embarrassing and humiliating. I didn't have time to cleanup becasue the plane was going to go."
