[Blindtlk] Thought you all might find this interesting-AirTran fined $500K for disability violations

[Constance Canode]

I really hate security.  Once I got pulled out of line rather roughly 
by a nasty woman.  I was totally innocently standing in line moving 
forward to get through.  She said in a very evil and power hungry 
voice that she was going to wand me down, which she did and then 
decided that she would pat me down.  I just said, do what you have to 
do, glared at her and finally got back into line.  I think she 
enjoyed herself.  She never even looked at my husband which was 
totally surprising to me.  Lots of people are immediately suspicious 
of guys with long hair and beards.  I am glad she didn't bother him, 
but it was quite annoying.  I have a very expressive face, and if 
looks could kill, she wouldn't be among the living.  I think 
sometimes they just go too far.  Rick calls it homeland 
paranoia.  This was before 911, so it was even more surprising to me.
