Some people are more equal than others--but they deserve it

http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123342084

In addition to offering curb-to-gate service, TSA now allows wounded warriors to move through security checkpoints without having to remove shoes, light outerwear jackets or hats, officials said.



TSA also provides expedited screening for service members. At airport checkpoints nationwide, military personnel in uniform with proper identification, whether traveling on official orders or not, are not required to remove their shoes or boots unless they set off alarms.



Do they?

Why should only injured servicemen and women get TSA special treatment? How about ordinary handicapped or even better, all folks?

Or

What's the safety guidelines to prevent possible terrorists from masquerading as such injured military personnel?

i won't support the TSA and that means not spending any money to be shaken down and treated like a criminal.
