Things are different now.
This President cares about these things.
Exactly. I was just confirming that accounts like in the original post have happened. I am an eye witness.
In addition to complaining to the handlers and telling one that as an American she should be ashamed of herself, I also notified Southwest Airlines that they would be held responsible should I get sick from one of these kids. One was coughing uncontrollably and had a medical ID tag from a clinic on his wrist. The loser handler ignored this sick kid.
There was also a pilot waiting for a flight. He was also notified.
