TSA Agents BEAT AND JAIL Disabled Teen With Brain Cancer [VIDEO] |
2016-07-02 |
[Daily Caller] Nineteen-year-old Hannah Cohen and her mother Shirley are suing the TSA after a Thursday incident in which agents at the Memphis International Airport beat and jailed the young woman during a security check. According to WREG Memphis, the Cohens were traveling from Memphis to Chattanooga, a trip they have been making for 17 years so that Hannah can receive brain cancer treatment at St. Jude Hospital. According to Shirley, Hannah -- who is also partially deaf and blind in one eye -- set off a metal detector while passing through security. "They wanted to do further scanning, she was reluctant, she didn't understand what they were about to do," Shirley told WREG. "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." Hannah was arrested sent to "Jail East," though authorities eventually threw out the charges. The TSA released a short statement on the incident, noting that "passengers can call ahead of time to learn more about the screening process for their particular needs or medical situation." The Cohens have filed a lawsuit against the Memphis Airport, Airport police and the TSA. |

#7 Might be something to look into Skid. Last time I was at CMP Talledega I didn't do well at all on the 600 meter. Some old former Marine range officer attending the firing line threatened to put me back on the 200 if I couldn't register on the 6. He was afraid I was damaging the equipment with stray shots. |

#4 I've had the book only a few days. I'm at page 179 of 400, of Lt. Col. USMC Tom C. McKenny's Jack Hinson's One-man War. Little more need be said. |

#3 The TSA released a short statement on the incident, noting that "passengers can call ahead of time to learn more about the screening process for their particular needs or medical situation." So now it's Hannah's fault, right? |

#2 The Left wanted to turn this all into a gulag, they've succeeded. Oh, by the way, we're knowledgeable enough to 1- know that Bush implemented this, but 2 - did it to shut down the Donks and MSM show who insisted that it had to be done and Bush was responsible for obstructing. Bush was a decent guy, but he never understood who the real enemy is. Obama does, that's why he fights Pubs, rednecks, conservatives, and fly over country harder than any Muslim organization. |
