[Retired Chemist]

On my last trip through airport security I watched them give the full treatment to an old guy who was so frail he could hardly put his shoes back on.

"On my last trip through airport security I watched them give the full treatment to an old guy who was so frail he could hardly put his shoes back on."

That was probably my dad.

They separated him from my mom to "ask him questions", and he got flustered and confused (early onset of Alzheimer's). My mom needs to carry oxygen and the delays used up her reserve. The "attendants" ignored her protestations that she was "out of air" until the alarm on the machine went off, startling the imbeciles. Not so much as a "Thank you Ma'am"
