[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

In response to your request for input from blind persons

regarding the inconvenience of being searched at airports,

I can only say that as blind people, we can't have it both ways.

We cannot on one hand demand equality, and then on the other, say that
because we are blind we should be exempt from a thorough search.
