"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"

Welcome to Amerika...

Then it's your fault. If you didn't stand there and demand they stop, then you are the wimp.

I am 5'2" and 115 pounds. When they started that cr@p on my 75-year-old mom, I let 'em have it.

Welcome to Amerika...

Life's a b!tch and then one comes to America.....

Why, oh why, aren't the "way of life disgruntled" leaving and not coming back?

Obviously life is better outside of the good 'ol USA.

Welcome to Amerika...

To show such disrespect for America, in my opinion, makes you the "imbecile". Don't like it? Nobody is forcing you to stay!

My next door neigbor is 88. Her husband is 91. They will not fly anymore because of the way they were treated by airport security on their last trip.
