Hannah Cohen: Disabled Woman Badly Beaten By TSA On Return Home From Brain Tumor Treatment
Inquisitr ^ | 1 July 2016 | Samantha Kilgore

Hannah Cohen, a young disabled woman whose mother describes as “partially deaf, blind in one eye, paralyzed and easily confused,” was beaten by Transportation Security Agents (TSA) after her flight home.

The young woman was then led from the Memphis International Airport, beaten, bloodied, bruised, and in handcuffs — and then booked into jail.

Cohen was returning home to Chattanooga after receiving treatment for her brain tumor at St. Jude’s Hospital. In fact, Hannah Cohen was returning home after receiving her final treatment for the brain tumor, and this trip back from St. Jude’s just marked one of many, as she has been flying back and forth from St. Jude’s Hospital for years. But instead of being able to celebrate the completion of her treatment, Hannah Cohen and her mother were subjected to rough handling and inexplicable treatment from the TSA and its agents, as well as local police in Memphis.

I can't even begin to express my outrage! The damned Muslims get special treatment and this girl gets curbstomped in the name of security? Or are they just trying to intimidate us?

If she had been dressed in Muslim garb, she would have been waived through without a second glance.

I am having a REALLY tough time believing this. Beaten? really?

I have heard of people groped and held but never actually beaten. And the TSA doesn’t even have handcuffs — that would be the police.

I will wait for more evidence and recommend the same for people here, less you look like gullible saps.

I give TSA exams for those that want to be an agent. They type of people coming through is unbelievable. Knuckle draggers as me pappy sez. Give them a uniform and a badge and just stand back.

I agree.
This sounds like a fake story.
I’ve had my run-ins with TSA and simply reported them to the supervisor.

Yeah, the Obama Administration is recruiting the dregs of society for DHS security screening duty.

All the while, many highly trained and experienced military vets with direct anti terrorism experience go unemployed.

Prayers for Hannah. They will win the lawsuit.

I hope some people get fired because of it.

With so many hundreds of thousands of laws and regulations we’re all criminals because I’m sure that the mere act of getting out of bed in the morning is a crime.

Yup, someone once said the best way to eliminate bad laws was to enforce bad laws with full vigor especially when it came to those who proposed them.
