MEMPHIS, Tenn. --- Bloodied and bruised Hannah Cohen was led from Memphis International Airport in handcuffs.
The 19-year old was headed home to Chattanooga after treatment for a brain tumor at St. Jude Hospital June 30, 2015.
It's a trip they've made for 17 years.
This time, an unarmed Hannah, set off the metal detector at a security checkpoint
“They wanted to do further scanning, she was reluctant, she didn't understand what they were about to do," said her mother Shirley Cohen.
Cohen told us she tried to tell TSA agents her daughter is partially deaf, blind in one eye, paralyzed, and easily confused, but said she was kept at a distance by police.
“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 Cohen.

And people wonder why I refuse to submit to the TSA.
I will not fly commercial until they are disbanded.

That’ll teach ‘em!
Heads indeed should roll. But I prefer they be charged with felonious assault and do time, and the girl handsomely compensated.
OMG!
More reason to PROFILE!
ObviousArabs and Moslems get thru fine, but a white handicapped girl? T’row ‘er down on d’floor!
I want to know the name of the TSA agent who beat her up.
I want names.
Cohen... A Hebrew name if I am correct. Of the priestly tribe.
I have no problem with my tax money helping or rewarding her family.
What I do mind is these turnstile never be fired or personally suffer one iota.
We all want his name; we can find out all else on our own. Just his name is all were asking.
I don’t fly either.
I take the train or drive, even if it takes two days to get there.
White girl bleed a lot
TSA’s affirmative action idiots beating up Americans but not doing squat to offend Muslims.
Priorities...
This is one victim who wont be invited to the White House...
Maybe we can get this story posted a few more times on FR.

The King Can Do No Wrong!
Oh, they can call in advance to find out about screening procedures, but they can never get any consideration IN the screening procedures.
Has anything like this ever happened with El Al, which has yet to have a plane downed but for the one time that a mule was talked into carrying a bomb on board a plane.
It’s going to take a lot of this to drive home the fact that the government has morphed into a self willed monster.
Not under Obama; hopefully under Trump.
If the young lady had been wearing a burka, TSA wouldn’t have dared to come near her.
Couldn’t it be tweeted out to the whole bloomin’ world? I am not a Twitter expert but surely there are some out there?
And maybe... people need to use the airports less. Let the onus be on airlines, who want the business, to apply pressure to make things like this stop.
Surely any number of Freepers would have helped DRIVE her and the family home.
