That's no far from he truth.When my Dad was in his 80's he was basically wheelchair-bound.In addition he looked every bit his age,if not older.When we'd fly down to Florida in the winter so he could get some sunshine the TSA would *invariably* stop him,make him stand up (which was difficult for him) and they'd frisk him and wave that metal detector over him.
I was outraged when they did that but kept it to myself so that I wasn't subjected to a beat-down.
As an 82 year old woman I can sympathize.
Just curious...did your Dad ever object to this treatment?
Many my age can be very crotchety.
