Carla-

Ditto Ditto!  Just because we are disabled doesn't mean we have any
business expecting to be exempted from rigorous security procedures which
are in place for everyone's safety.  In fact one time when I was coming
home from Dayton, Ohio, I was pretty rigorously questioned at the airport
because of a metal belt buckle I had with a tractor on it.  After they
were satisfied everything was OK, one of the security guys remarked to me
that someone could plant something on me and I may not know it.  I
wouldn't go so far as thinking that could happen, but who knows.

I always figure if you have something on you that you think will set the
thimng off, you request that they take whatever it is from you.  I have
made it a practice to get rid of my keys, talking clock and sun glasses
before going through security.  That way, I rarely beep and thus don't
have to go through all the rigors.
