TSA Confiscates Pregnant Diabetic Woman's Insulin

The Transportation Security Administration should be protecting innocent people from the most dangerous people; however, the TSA seems to be preying on the weakest among us. The latest event in a never-ending series of abuses against people with handicaps and special medical needs, is the TSA's confiscation of a pregnant diabetic woman's insulin. The TSA at the Denver International Airport in Colorado, felt the woman's insulin was a threat to public safety, so they took it.

Fortunately for the woman, the TSA did their usual inadequate job, and they did not properly search her lunchbox. In their typical carelessness, the TSA searched only the top of the woman's lunchbox and missed half of a vial of insulin at the bottom of the lunchbox.

The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation, claims she had a note from her doctor and the insulin bottles were labeled correctly. She does not understand why the TSA decided to take some of her medicine.
