Hannah Cohen, a 19-teen-year-old with a tumor on her brain stem and who has traveled between St. Jude Hospital and her home in Chattanooga for the past seventeen years, was accosted at Memphis International Airport by TSA and airport police.
Hannah is partially deaf, blind in one eye, paralyzed, and easily confused, so when she set off the metal detector at the security checkpoint, it frightened her.
Her mother, Shirley Cohen, tried to inform the TSA agents about her daughter’s condition and her confusion, but the police kept her away. Hannah, trying to get away from the TSA agents who wanted to scan her again, was thrown to the ground, smashing her head on the floor.
She was handcuffed and bloody, as she was let out of the Airport and locked up in Jail East.

You are a fucktard
They don’t have the right to put their fucking hands on anyone. They are not police officers or law enforcement.
They Always pick on the wrong people. Why not do your job on the ones that shoukd be taken down?? God bless this young woman. She has suffered enough.
I bet TSA is innocent.
You want to throw people in prison? They would be great candidates.
Abolish the TSA.
I could care less for the TSA. But, think about the what if’s.
Should win the lawsuit and jail time for the TSA dirtbags.
Yes TSA is a disgrace. But we have our eyes opened. This is not their acting field.
