Hi Isaac,

Grow up!  Any person who goes through an airport these days should know that
the tighter security the better it is. No, I will not stand up for such
childishness!  Remember, Isaac, unless you have somehow forgotten it, that we
are at war. No, let them search me if they want to do so. They should search
everyone, sighted and blind. They do. When I went to Europe last summer the
people wanted to look at my cane to see if it was ok. I let them because
someone else might come up who really wasn't blind and there might be
something in that cane. No, think before you write my friend. You may not like
to be searched but thank the airport guards who have the presence of mind to
disregard your handicap and search you anyway.

In addition, remember that your attitude is reflected in your body language.
If you say to the airport security that you are angry or nervous with your
body actions, these are sight cues that you forget about, I think, then they
are more likely to search you.

Well, you asked for my opinion, you got it, friend. Praise God for the
intelegent and watchful airport security people. Because of them, I can travel
safely.

Peace is worth praying for.

Ann P.
