The TSA Must Go

• http://blog.simplejustice.us,

The latest incident on the radar, the beating and arrest of poor 18-year-old Hannah Cohen, is a travesty.  She, like so many of us, went through their machines and a light went off.

"They wanted to do further scanning, (but) she was reluctant — she didn't understand what they were about to do," said her mother, Shirley Cohen.

Cohen said she tried to tell agents with the Transportation Security Administration that her 19-year-old daughter is partially deaf, blind in one eye, paralyzed and easily confused — but she said police kept her away from the security agents.

The confused and terrified young woman tried to run away, her mother said, and agents violently took her to the ground.

The key line was Hannah's mother, Shirley tried to explain, but no one would listen. The official agency response was typical of the TSA's shocking tone-deafness:

"Passengers can call ahead of time to learn more about the screening process for their particular needs or medical situation," said TSA spokesperson Sari Koshetz.
