TSA Makes Sweeping Statements About Limiting Persons with Disabilities Ability to Fly

In a pending lawsuit, TSA has made some bold statements that might hinder some travelers with disabilities ability to go through TSA which will impair their ability to fly. In this case, a passenger who experiences PTSD as a result of past sexual trauma refused to go through the pat-down process. In a legal briefing, TSA made a sweeping statement that such travelers may be prohibited from flying altogether. NDRN wrote a letter to the head of TSA explaining their concerns about this broad, sweeping statement.
