[nfb-talk] TSA discrimination in Orlando

[Joshua Lester]

Elisha, I don't know if you like Country music, but there's a new
song, by Ray Stevens, that talks about the TSA.
"The Skys just ain't friendly, anymore."
You can find it on Youtube.
It talks about the security measures, with the TSA.
He doesn't mention the canes, and blindness, but he does talk about
the new way that they search people, for weapons.
Blessings, Joshua
