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 are very welcome.
The feral government goblins who bloodied this brain cancer survivor should be [DELETED].
The entire US will hear me cheer when an Ataturk happens to a TSA checkpoint.
Monsters, all, and they worsen every day.
TSA is about the same as all gub mint goons.
Give em a little power and it goes to their heads.
If these a-holes were treated in a similar manner they too would complain.
In a recent post I said that I would be hard put to name the government department or agency that should be the first one that a new president Trump should shut down. I think I have reached a decision on that now.
No real American citizen of quality would take a job with the federal government now. We have to have a new president before the kind of people we need in government will accept a government job.
