Ho hum! Crooked Cankles accused her opposition of being racists and white supremacists. I’m shocked. This time it’s not a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy it’s a Vast Alt-Right Conspiracy. Break out your tin foil hats.
But she’s not getting it. I’m giving it to the TSA again.
A nine-year-old aspiring pilot with a pacemaker has spoken about the ‘terrible’ ordeal he suffered at the hands of TSA at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport.
Chille Bergstrom was to travel home to Minnesota with his family on Saturday, but was denied an alternative screening process.
He was then surrounded by armed police and agents, who told his mother they have stopped terrorists using children with pacemakers.
The youngster, who was born with Godlen Hars Syndrome, has undergone 15 open heart surgeries in his short life – but still needs to have a pacemaker to survive with his four heart defects.
Because of this, they are required to always request alternative screening as he cannot go through metal detectors – but in this case, the TSA refused.
His mother Ali Bergstrom, of Wyoming, said she showed authorities the documentation proving Chille needs the alternative screening but was told they would need to request an exemption.
They never did, but were held up for more than an hour before being told they couldn’t fly.
Bergstrom wrote on Facebook that her son had told TSA agents: ‘I don’t want an exemption, I want to go through an alternate screening like I always do.’
‘He sat on my lap, crying for an hour, as we were surrounded by 18 TSA and police and were actually told by the TSA that ‘some terrorist plots use children with pacemakers’.
…
She added: ‘One of the TSA agents told me they’d prevented terrorist attacks using nine-year-old boys with pacemakers and children before, so I laughed and said, ‘Oh when?’
‘At that point, the TSA agent became very quiet and said, ‘Oh we’re not at liberty to discuss this.”
Of course they aren’t. What a bunch of assholes! At least they didn’t throw him to the floor like the disabled girl a few weeks ago.
