According to Daniel Rubin of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ryan Thomas had a bad experience while trying to board a flight to Disney World. Ryan, a four-year old boy with malformed ankles and weak leg muscles, wears leg braces to help him stand and walk. Well, on his way to Disney World, he had to pass through passenger screening and was ordered to remove his leg braces by a Transportation Security Administration agent. His parents objected, but the TSA agent insisted that Ryan go through the metal detector by himself without the leg braces. His parents could not even carry Ryan through.
The TSA claims this action was against their policies, yet it was done. A small boy was humiliated and put in danger, because the TSA agents apparently do not understand TSA polices. You can now rest well tonight knowing the brave people at the TSA are keeping our skies safe from handicapped preschoolers.
