Shocking: Disabled Teen Returning From St. Jude's Hospital Bloodied and Arrested by TSA
PJ Media ^ | July 1, 2016 | Julie Prince

Posted on 07/01/2016 3:24:27 PM PDT by lowbridge

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.

You’re being sarcastic, right?
Please tell me you forgot to add the /Sarc tag.

I hope President Trump immediately dissolves the TSA.

January 2017 will be a very busy time for President Trump...

It's a lengthy list...

We need to shut down a good dozen or so federal agencies, but we should start with the TSA.

We need to keep in mind that there was once a choice :

Ban all muslim non citizens and muslim passengers from every identified terrorist country from Africa, Middle East and Asia, directly or indirectly, for any reason whatsoever (except maybe diplomatic personnel, or...

Inconvenience and brutalize all 900,000,000 airline passengers domestic and international (2015)... ALL AT THE EXPENSE OF THE NON-PARASITIC WORKING NET TAXPAYING American WORKER.

At what annual cost in dollars? $1,000,000,000,000?

In inconvenience and abuse? : incalculable.

That's who we are, led by an undocumented "leader" who values the lives and safety of foreign animals more than the American people who elected him.

That's who he and the muslim mouse in his pocket are.

And they buy their uniforms two sizes to small. Look like wal-mart customers.

>> Donald Trump needs to say that his first action, after nullifying all of Obama’s Executive Orders, will be to fire the SOB in charge of TSA, the Regional Director, and everyone who had anything to do with this shameful incident agency.

I would box up those TSA agents and ship them to a drug cartel camp to be used for target practice. Of course, I would be okay with providing them to ISIS for live acid dissolving practice, too.

Take EVERY LAST INVOLVED AGENT and shoot them stone cold dead at dawn.

MAKE A RINGING EXAMPLE OF THEM ALL.

THIS MONSTROSITY MUST *NEVER* be repeated.

NOT. EVER.

“Heartbreaking.”

Heartbreaking?

How about NECK BREAKING?! As in — take EVERY LAST TSA asset involved, drag them out back and break their f’n necks like rabid dogs!!

How ‘bout THAT, huh?

HEARTBREAK?

How much f’n HEARTBREAK are we gonna just sit here and take from these FedGov bastards?!

SOON or LATE, SOMEBODY’S got to make an EVERLASTING EXAMPLE of goons like this that says, “NEVER AGAIN!!!!” in a stark, bloody language that is understood by every sentient being on this planet.

Ship the bastards off to play pat-a-cake with ISIS for all I care; NONE of them should be allowed another breath. They are a vile, and detestable burden upon the face of the Earth.

TSA is beyond repair. Eliminate it and turn security over to the airports.

The security is already in the hands of the airport. They can opt out of TSA and hire their own security but most will not because of funding from the government.

Oh, the evil web we weave.
