Here's another reason why, if I did have to go down to the States I would never consider flying there.
Give a guy a badge, or a little bit of authority and an attitude and you can bet it goes to his head!!!!
Seventeen-year-old Hannah Cohen was preparing to fly from Memphis to her home in Chattanooga with her parents following her annual treatments at St. Jude hospital for brain cancer.
When she passed through the metal detectors, setting off an alarm, what happened next will make your blood boil.
Her years of treatment left the teenager partially deaf, blind in one eye, and limited in her abilities to walk and talk. She also, according to her mother, can become easily confused.
When Hannah went through the metal detector at the airport, an alarm went off. Disoriented by the noise, she did not immediately cooperate with TSA agents who asked to conduct further screening.
Shirley Cohen tried to inform the agents about her daughter's disabilities, she told television station WREG, but airport police kept her away. That's when the situation between Hannah and the TSA officials became violent:
"She's
trying to get away from them but in the next instant, one of them had
her down on the ground and hit her head on the floor. There was blood
everywhere," said [Shirley].
