[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

I haven't had much of a problem with the fiberglass canes in the
metal detectors of course.  Also, a blink shouldn't have to
surrender his/her cane to go through the detector.  I feel its like
asking the sighted person "Would you please remove your eyes and
put them on the conveyor belt and then proceed through.".  If I
were sighted I certainly wouldn't do a disgusting thing like that
for anyone.
 So why should I as a blind person surrender my cane?  73
