A cancer victim who suffers from incontinence was humiliated during an incident last week when a TSA agent loudly announced “he’s wearing a diaper” to waiting travelers, before laughing and subjecting the man to a strip search.
The harrowing account of the man’s experience at the hands of everybody’s favorite federal agency is explained by his wife in a post over at CafeMom.com.
Suffering from OAB (overactive bladder) as a result of being afflicted with prostate cancer, the man has to wear an adult diaper but, according to his wife, has never had any problems with airport security in the past that couldn’t be solved with a simple explanation.

After the man was forced to repeatedly explain that he had wet his pants due to his medical condition, TSA screeners subjected him to another pat down before asking the man to “drop his pants” so that they could see the “suspicious padding” around his waist.
The man was then forced to change out into a separate adult diaper and the TSA agents confiscated his used diaper so that they could subject it to further scrutiny. After ensuring that the wet diaper was not an explosive item, the couple were finally allowed to leave and board their plane.
“Frustrating that people have to go through this in the name of security. We have neither security nor freedom now, just lots of embarrassing and frustrating stories,” states the man’s wife, adding that he cried after the incident, which was “one of the most embarrassing” experiences of their lives.
