Shocking: Disabled Teen Returning From St. Jude’s Hospital Bloodied and Arrested by TSA

Getting through the line at the TSA can be a long and uncomfortable process. For one Chattanooga teen and her mother, the process turned into a scary nightmare.

19-year-old Hannah Cohen was returning home from St. Jude’s Hospital with her mother for treatment of her brain tumor (a trip they had made for 17 years), when Hannah somehow set off the metal detector at the security checkpoint.

TSA wanted to do a further scan on Hannah, but she was reluctant. Hannah’s mother, Shirley Cohen, tried to inform the agents that her daughter was disabled. She is partially deaf and blind in one eye, paralyzed, and becomes easily confused. “They wanted to do further scanning, she was reluctant, she didn’t understand what they were about to do,” she said.

Despite her concerns, Shirley was kept away from her daughter by police. Hannah, obviously afraid, tried to get away from the grips of the TSA. “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,” said Shirley.

How can this happen? Because they can. Until they can’t.

Do not print these stories without the face of the perpetrator shown. The faceless bureaucrat has to become a thing of the past. You must show the world the faces of those who are involved. The bureaucracy only gets away with these activities when they are in the shadows

Sounds like a case of .gov TNB. That family needs to call Morgan and Morgan.
