How much more of being treated like they don't matter do these people have
to endure?:cry:

2:22 P.M. - HOUSTON (AP): Passengers getting off buses from New Orleans may be in sight of the end of their nearly week-long ordeal. But first, they have to go through screening.

Police in Houston are guiding people through lines where they can undergo pat-down searches.

Paramedics wearing rubber gloves are helping medical teams conduct a triage operation. Kidney patients and others who might need immediate medical attention are being transported to hospitals.

The evacuees are also being offered icy bottles of water as they get off the buses. Disposable diapers are being passed out to those with small children.


Many of the people are asking total strangers for a few seconds of cellphone time to try to locate loved ones.
