TSA Apologizes for Traumatizing Disabled Toddler

**Jesus Jones** · 22-02-2013, 07:53 AM

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration has apologized to a Missouri couple after its agents traumatized the family’s 3-year-old, wheelchair-bound daughter during a screening and told the mother she could not film the process.

The Feb. 8 run-in Annie Schulte and her disabled daughter had with TSA screeners at Missouri’s Lambert-St. Louis International Airport as they were heading to Orlando was caught on tape and posted to YouTube. In the video, 3-year-old Lucy can be seen crying as TSA agents tell Schulte she cannot film the screening.

“To me it was pretty offensive because I was really tuned in when she said that, immediately I’m like, ‘OK, hold on, something doesn’t seem right.’ So I did tell her I was going to wait because I was going to grab my phone,” Schulte told ABC News.

Schulte says it all started when TSA agents asked to pat down Lucy and screen her wheelchair. Schulte asked to tape it, she said, but an agent didn’t like that.

Hitler's Gestapo and Homeland Security (TSA) same, same & not different.

I've watched the video and I think the mother made the situation worse than it needed to be.

Bunch of barely literate, minimum wage goons. A fucking disgrace. Like the immigration clerks at major entry points sitting in their booth wearing combat boots and black jumpsuits. Sad little creatures who couldn't make the grade at Burger King.

Changed my mind. I don't want to go to Disney World either.
