Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Currently there are over 55,000 TSA employees.... TSA Officers [Federal Officers]... Behavior Detection Officers.... Federal Air Marshals... Transportation Security Inspectors.... National Explosives Detection Canine Teams.... VIPR teams that work outside of the airport setting, such as train stations, ports, special events, etc.
Said Officers screen over 650 million passengers and their luggage per year.
The negative media for those are far and few between. Many of said articles proved after the fact to have never happened. Don't throw all Officers into the same column because of 1% of employees who were fired due to bad conduct.
Sodonewithsal1, you rather go back to how security worked back on the wee hours of 9/11?
The TSA is useless. The two times someone got aboard a plane with an explosive device, they sailed right through the security checkpoint. It was their fellow passengers who noticed something was amiss and stopped the potential bombers. TSA agents have been caught stealing from passengers many times. They have groped and intimidated people and made inappropriate sexual comments about at least one transgendered person. Most recently, TSA agents have been in the news for failing to know the District of Columbia is part of the United States. Security theater, that's all the TSA is. Read up on the history of the Rapiscan devices and how the TSA has cost taxpayers millions upon millions while doing very little in return, other than humiliating the traveling public. Do some research and see what a scam the TSA is. As long as the bureaucrats can intimidate us with fear of terrorists lurking around every corner, this sort of massive waste and indignity will continue.
The TSA doesn't care!!! Every time I am going to fly. I opt-out of the metal detector. Because of metal clips on a brain aneurysm. But instead of the TSA saying 'Ok'. They argue with me. I have to tell them about being wanded and pat-down. They don't like doing that.
We just went through this nightmare this week. My mother is 84 years old, wears Depends and uses a wheelchair. We had an appointment with a specialist or I would have canceled our flight after reading what happened to that poor woman with cancer.
Both the Pittsburgh and Boston airports gave Mom a pat down search that I thought was pretty invasive. Mom is deaf, legally blind and has some dementia. Of course I stayed right beside her the whole time explaining Mom's limitations and letting Mom know we all had to go through this because of 9/11. Thankfully she remembered that date and was very cooperative with the employee. She had to lean forward in her chair, hold her arms straight and pick up her legs while they went from top to bottom way too thoroughly.
In Pittsburgh, someone was available right away to do this pat down search. In Boston, the wheelchairs were backed up waiting for the right employee to come and search each individual. It was ridiculous how many wheelchairs were allowed to sit in a line waiting. The law that is meant to protect folks instead penalizes the ones who need the most protection.
Their dignity has be taken away because of their incontience anyway. I think this is inhuman. This should have be one of their relatives. ( mother, grandparents, etc.) What would have been the situation then? I total agree, something should be done !!!!!
My parents (86 and 90 years old) did not wish to fly from Nashville to New York for my son's wedding, because they figured they'd be miserable the whole time. I wasn't sure how my dad would fare with his urostomy bag or my mother in her wheelchair during the security check-in and didn't try to persuade them to fly anyway.
They let a man wearing only briefs and a top go through, but not the elderly women! Something needs to be done. My elderly neighbor had the flight cancelled and had to go back to the airport at 3 am. She can barely walk.
I understand all measures of security must be inforced. But to stoop to this level with a 95 yo female, I think that is outrageous. How can they let a man that had being flying all over go thru security with not a hitch, who had several ID's. I have a serious issue with the way they handle the 95 yo female. My heart goes out to her and family members. I think some restiution should come out of this for her.

Travel Tips to Help Seniors Get Through Airport Security Screening

TSA doesn't want to make security too easy, otherwise a terrorist could use that to his/her advantage.
