This blog was created to document my experiences and interaction within the Deaf community for my American Sign Language ASL classes at SCCC. Really, this blog and I aspire to achieve so much more! To enlighten, to promote, to inspire, to provoke... we will have to wait and see where it takes us...
Can't say I'm surprised... TSA has made me angry several times and I fight them with strongly worded letters. Getting a check for reimbursement of my son's brand new unopened blender with quarter inch blades that they confiscated the day after Christmas last year! His 2" blade on his key chain was ok to board with tho!
No, I don't see it as a hoax. It was printed in a Christian newsletter. How should I verify articles? Please tell me, because I certainly don't want to glorify a hoax; but on the other hand, I don't want to ignore a chance to point out the injustices that do in fact occur to the Deaf.
It is not HOAX.. I don't agree with Unknown's comment. you are correct that it need to be injustices. I am tired of TSA mistreated to teenager girl's diabetic control cost 10 thousand dollars TSA destroy her diabetic control. any matters of disabitlies need deal honesty with TSA.
Deaf Person Faked Louisville Airport TSA Mistreatment Story http://ocdac.wordpress.com/2012/07/12/deaf-faked-louisville-airport-tsa-mistreatment-story/
The above article posted by the Orange Deafie Blogwire sited another blog, looks like an official TSA/gov blog: http://blog.tsa.gov/2012/07/alleged-mistreatment-of-passenger-who.html and both deny that the incident happened as first reported. However, I do not claim to know if this is a true official TSA blog site or not. It does have "gov" attached to the link, but I don't know if that makes it official or not. Either way, I hope that at least articles like the first one will encourage others to stick up for equal treatment no matter the situation. Injustice stinks period!
I learn that TSA story was removed since it was announcement by other blogs say that the deaf man removed his story due false and fake accusation story around in USA. My daughter who is now ITP and she told me the story after Kentucky Associations for the Deaf was involved with NAD event last weekend.
Thank you for your research and posting. I am glad to hear that it did not happen...this time... but I know that things like this still go on; perhaps not always reported, sometimes reported as sensationalism, but either way... these kinds of acts should not occur! Public education is key!
