Getting through the line at the TSA can be a long and uncomfortable process. For one Chattanooga teen and her mother, the process turned into a scary nightmare.
19-year-old Hannah Cohen was returning home from St. Jude's Hospital with her mother for treatment of her brain tumor (a trip they had made for 17 years), when Hannah somehow set off the metal detector at the security checkpoint.
TSA wanted to do a further scan on Hannah, but she was reluctant. Hannah's mother, Shirley Cohen, tried to inform the agents that her daughter was disabled. She is partially deaf and blind in one eye, paralyzed, and becomes easily confused. “They wanted to do further scanning, she was reluctant, she didn't understand what they were about to do," she said.
Despite her concerns, Shirley was kept away from her daughter by police. Hannah, obviously afraid, tried to get away from the grips of the TSA. “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 Shirley.
The teen was arrested, booked, and sent to jail. “Here we were with nowhere to go, not even a toothbrush, our bags had gone to Chattanooga,” said the distraught mother.

Welcome to obama’s world.
Ever notice when you see film of TSA goons they are mostly black. Course who else would be dumb enough to take one of those jobs. I don’t fly anymore.
I hate flying. I just go through that radiation-cancer causing device now. It beats being molested.
Can you imagine how her doctors will feel when they get a load of this abuse? This kid has suffered a lot to even be alive and this is how the US government treats her?
Everyone feeling safe and secure now? These people acted like terrorists.
Bringing in the cops of any kind only make the situation worse.
Go back to DU ...... Jerk
You are right on the money. This is the Kenyan a—hole’s way of pushing our buttons till we have had enuff and take to the streets. That is what the Faggot-in Chief is working towards.
Some things are worth a night in jail. It's really that simple. My heart aches looking at the picture. Good grief!
Where is my country?
Jesus... bastards. If I saw my daughter like that, id beat the snot out of them right there. No standing by.
‘I hate flying. I just go through that radiation-cancer causing device now. It beats being molested.’
I don’t fly anymore and I am a private pilot. I have long thought that the mistreatment of Americans by whatever means is either a way to cow us or a way to force us to take up arms. I think the endgame is when we hit the streets they try to kill us all. Either way we are no longer America, I would have thought we would have put a stop to this shit a long time ago.
You sir are a damn tool.
Hey dim bulb.. it was very clearly sarcasm.
It's just another Federal black enrichment program that will never be shut down.

Beating up on a psychically and mentally handicapped person? They need to be criminally charged.
TSA does look like alternative welfare when going through major hub cities with large minority populations. And these clowns abuse every bit of power they imagine they have.
They abuse their authority terribly and act worse than rent-a-cops when the SHTF like a blind deaf girl in a wheelchair. They can be baaaad asses in cases like that or when Joe Foss shows his medal of hinor and is accused of possessing a throwing weapon.
Clock boy probably doesn’t have to submit to searches ... he has to be some kind of a Hero for Obama and the TSA, diversity ya know.
If I was there and witnessed this, I’d probably be dead.
The TSA has no arrest powers - yet.
Release the names and addresses of EVERY TSA AGENT their Supervisors and what the hell why not toss in all the Politicians that have anything to do with that Airport.
It may get sorted out a little quicker.
