[nfb-talk] TSA discrimination in Orlando

[Alicia Richards]

I agree with Mike and others here.  Yes, the TSA has been given too much 
power.  It's shameful that they can perform such invasive patdowns, 
violating one's personal space and dignity.  but as Ryan said, that's not a 
blindness issue: they can do that to anyone.  And, I've never understood 
people's issue with giving up their cane for 30 seconds, taking someone's 
hand to walk five steps through the security check, and then have their cane 
handed right back to them.  I question someone's mobility training if they 
are unable to walk five steps without their cane, and also can't help but 
wonder if they're exhibiting what I believe was once called, "rebellious 
independence," by refusing to take the hand or arm of a TSA official for 
that very brief time.  But to each their own.  Joseph, I'll be curious if 
you get a reply from Scott LaBarre about this?
