The TSA agent seemed to be very gentle with your husband. It's nice to see kindness and compassion :)

[@B-MoreCity]

Warning: it depends on the quality of the managers at each airport which will determine which kind of officers you will get. Note: Piss poor management in control of opertaions will make moral drop which will cause the officers moral and integrity to drop. Used to work for the TSA and was one of the good officers who showed compassion and care to each traveler which changed their prospective on most TSA officers. Management at the Dulles airport was cruel and abusive towards me so I resigned. I also was a veteran of the United States Army and Served my nation well without regret and wanted to continue to serve each american as I have sworn to do when I signed up for TSA. Too bad management did not appreciate me when they had me which is a kick in the groin of each American non American citizen and TSO. I also raised the moral by assisting other officers to ease their daily lives working at Dulles when they forgot or were not certain on how to go about things.

[@caraknights3276]

This officer seemed very caring and gentle. He even asked the man if he was comfortable. This is so nice to see in today’s world ♥️ also - ASMR anyone?

[@trudifruty6078]

The tsa needs to be abolished, they have not caught one single damn terrorists in all the years it has been put in the airports. This is such bull shit to still be going on.

[@faridsolati]

It's not there job to catch terrorists. There job is to find prohibited and illegal items from entering the plane.

[@wendyannh]

Which they worry about terrorists carrying and using to bring the plane down. Oh, yes, it is *all* about terrorists. Problem is, it doesn't work.

[@BeachNanny]

@@faridsolati do you know how many times they have let weapons through tsa?

[@shelbyleann608]

got to say they seemed very gentle and careful not to cause to much discomfort to your husband. they are just doing their jobs. of course youll get some that take things to far amd to rough but this man seemed very kind to your husband. :)

Very professional, the man didn’t seem to be annoyed be the proceedure. Excellent Video..

[@desgoulding7154]

This is over the TOP

[@RollingThruLife]

Usually its a quick process, pat down and swab of chair. Last year I flew and a new agent was being trained so I got the full treatment, the guy practically put his finger up my butt.. I was pissed and made sure they knew it. I also usse a power chair. I will be flying this weekend and will also video it for others to learn from.. Good luck ! great vids.. subscribed

[@MasterDrhd]

Thanks for posting this video. its nice to be able to see how this process works. my dad is 100 percent disable and i wasn't even sure if he was able to get on a plane with his power chair.

[@VeronicaAndBradMorris]

To get on the plane, he will have to transfer to what is called an "aisle chair". This is a narrow wheelchair that can fit down the aisle of the plane. It is a manual chair that the airline employees push, and it has several straps to strap you in so that you cannot fall out. They will take your dad's power chair and put it below the plane. Make sure the power chair is clearly labeled as to how to turn it on and off, release the brake if they want to push it without having it on, etc. If there are any loose parts on the chair (side guards, cushion, etc) you should remove those and take them on the plane with you. Make sure your layovers are long enough for them to get the chair off the plane, up to you, to your next plane, and then below that plane. We like at least 45 min for a layover just to be safe.

[@wendyannh]

Actually, you do not need to have your chair returned to you during layovers; you can request a chair from the airport. That is generally a more efficient way to do things, as I understand it; I have yet to fly with my own chair so I can't say from personal experience yet, but having to wait to get the chair and then again to gate-check it again could take a lot longer. Baggage handlers are also not *allowed* to ride people's own chairs or steer them at all with the controller, and are *required* to release the clutch, and to push them and lift them as necessary, although one hears about them violating these procedures all the time. I know people who fully remove the controllers before turning the chair over in order to protect it, especially with complex power chairs which have much more complicated electronics. Also, some batteries need to be removed and specially stowed. I don't know enough about this subject to say more, but each airline has their own requirements, and you've got to know what kind of batteries your own chair has.

[@owtena]

@@wendyannh it's been 4 years, but I'll answer :D I think 45 minutes is not to have your chair back and then to go with it into the next fly, but it's minimum time to unload the planes luggage and to be able to transfer it to the next plane. It's the same with usual luggage and when I was flying home thru a large airport they didn't have time to do it (to unload and transfer my luggage to my next fly and it was around 40 minutes between my planes) and I received it only the next day. But it was just my luggage so not a big deal, but with a chair it IS a big deal.

[@quincycamo7577]

This is why I do not travel much. This is how criminals are treated. I'm not a criminal and refuse to be treated as one. Yes, they were gentle with him and considerate, but he should not have to be subjected to that simply because they can't zap him with a scanner.

[@Hause1996]

Is there any better option?

[@executor1485]

You don't travel because you can get a frisk search? LMAO get a life.

[@SouthernR0cker4Life]

@@Hause1996 Yes, a Dog trained to detect Explosives.

[@Hause1996]

SouthernR0cker4Life Do you seriously believe that they are only looking for explosives? Can a dog know if a person has a weapon or a knife?

[@jeremytheoneofm]

Wow criminal is a tricky word, black people have been demonized as criminals, that's why people look the other way when black people are being pat down but I'm no criminal and ive been pat down several times and humiliated because of the color of my skin it's kind of like the tables are turning except we don't get Justice everybody's just getting a taste of their own medicine now

[@kertha]

great job

[@DerangedLeftWingers]

this is a good example on how american citizens are treated in their own country compared to illegal aliens and refugees

[@groovass65]

His whole chair could have been a bomb.

[@marinak4452]

they checked for bomb residue

[@stormtrooper88]

one of the better tsa screenings. i myself am chairbound. i use my manual chair when flying. its just not worth using my electric chair. it takes less then 5 min. when using my electric it takes twice as long, or more. it doesnt help all my equipment has been customized/painted camo but hey, i like my camo.

[@DerangedLeftWingers]

why isnt the ACLU crying about the TSA why is the ACLU crying about trump enforcing our imigration laws

[@lestki]

How heartbreakingly sad that we have come to this. Game over, they won.

[@Philip02K]

[@SpiritBear12]

She didn't check that jacket and belt very well. You guys forgot to check out his big beard. He could be hiding some plastique explosives in there.

[@wardamalsda]

respectful and careful. god bless this security guards

[@carolward4392]

they didnt check his beard...he could have hidden a nuclear warhead in there...lol

[@rubentrujillo890]

Surprised they didn't check his rectum, poor guy, all he wants is to travel

[@amberbludnick6402]

Very good and a good value

[@VeronicaAndBradMorris]

Thanks!

[@MashaT22]

Which airport was this? I've been through this type of check. Some people describe horrific experiences, but mine was like what you showed here! In addition to the chair check & gentle pat down, they're usually even kind enough to swab my brace/shoes so as not to cause me further discomfort by taking them off due to my chronic pain. Once they even showed me how the swabs go through a machine that checks for gun power & other suspicious substances so I'd understand what they were doing to me. I also just have to show them the scar where I have an implanted medical device. I don't go on planes often b/c we are serious road warriors, lol, but never had a bad TSA issue. Ty for posting this! Ppl need to see that TSA wheelchair checks are more often no big deal than problematic! I wish I'd get checked like this at other places with metal detectors (i.e. concerts, sporting events, etc.) where they just wave me through b/c that means anyone can pose as disabled & sneak dangerous stuff inside.

[@VeronicaAndBradMorris]

+MashaT22 This was at Charlotte airport in North Carolina. It wasn't a bad experience at all. The people were all very nice and helpful. It just takes a long time!

[@chillywit]

This is humiliating to watch. I'd hate to have a stranger pat me down all over my body in public like that.

[@faridsolati]

So your saying it would have been better for officers to forcefully make him walk through the metal detector and or body scanner?

[@jeremytheoneofm]

Yep happens to black people all the time

[@IvoryLegends-]

They have to you can easily hide weapons or illegal stuff in you clothes idk why you’re being such a karen because the day they will not be doing that and the dudes gonna have a gun you’re gonna complain they didn’t do the pat down

[@MrGTX23]

They didnt even check that battery that looks like a bomb

[@Gamingandoutdooradventures]

TSA agent was very nice. Next video

[@spencer6459]

"that one with the jihad beard, lets get him!"

[@deborahruthbarlow1695]

Geez! Inspecting the chair too?

[@davidm4160]

Im glad they have rubber gloves on so they didnt get their slim all over him or his chair.

[@OffTheLineFox]

Which airline did you fly with? Did you have to disassemble the back of his chair to make it smaller or anything?

[@VeronicaAndBradMorris]

I don't remember which airline it was, probably United? Or US Air? But the airline doesn't have anything to do with the screening. We have flown on normal sized planes and on a couple of smaller planes (about 60 seats). The only thing we did was flip up the footrest and move the head rest so that it was down all the way. We didn't have to remove anything else. The brown tape on the chair holds a picture of Brad (to make it more personal and maybe they'd treat it better) and instructions on how to carry the chair (Brad's chair needs to be held by the base, NOT by the chair part), and an approximate weight of the chair so they could be aware. The only problem we had was in Santa Barbara when we arrived they couldn't figure out how to get the chair from the luggage loading thingie down to the ground (a like 2 ft drop). They ended up getting four guys to carry it that small distance, and they struggled a LOT. They were ready for us on the way home with a lift. But Brad's chair is extremely heavy as it is tilt/recline and lifts up 8 inches. Permobil M300, weighing about 350 lbs.

[@j5892000]

everyone has to go through it . no acceptions.

[@SandDancerHellie]

you mean exceptions...

[@lakota123max]

and yet a bomber got on a plane...AFTER security....what a complete joke...how many terrorist have they stopped.?? ....none!!!

[@Lmurr3]

TSA stands for .......... tuff sh*t America. While in Hawaii I bought a very expensive tube of tooth paste. The senior supervison took it away from for being too large. I hope she enjoyed it.

[@richarddean1333]

sorry but its dam funny like tsa knows a dam thing about the wheel chair whats real and what is fake

[@drunkensloth8626]

I laugh when I think about how easy it is to hide things in a wheelchair..

[@BobJones-bp5vr]

I saw them do this same thing to an 86 year old man in a wheelchair only they made him get out of his chair and stand there, wobbling on his cane, while they swabbed his chair and started to pat him down at the Vegas airport. How do these TSA creeps sleep at night?

[@VeronicaAndBradMorris]

Brad had that experience once, where they made him get out of his wheelchair. It was a disaster! Never again, now he insists he has to remain in his chair. But I don't feel anger towards the TSA individuals-- they are just doing a job, and an unpleasant one at that.

[@courtr1588]

I'm surprised that they did all of that. I had my very first flight last July and was so nervous of dealing with the TSA. I got a super nice lady. She asked me what all of my physical limitations were and swabbed the seat of my rental scooter along with patting me down, and then I was on my way. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know if I got lucky or things were that way because my hometown (where I caught my flight) was the headquarters of the airline I flew with, but I really hope that if I take another flight in the future that it goes this smoothly.

[@gedieyontewede1731]

wow im just shooked

Surprised the they didn't try and tell her you can't film here/this for every ones safety.

[@commodoor646]

This is all leading to the privatization of TSA. The TSA was lobbied for by private industry for the purpose of increasing profit margin.

[@michaelobrien6853]

That was rather excessive

[@abuhajaar7612]

ASMR 🙄

How much druggs or explosive material would he be able to hide in the neckrest support only? This has to stop! Donald.... Up to you!

[@arliewaite9319]

So why do they swab the wheel chair at check points. Kind of late by that time. If there were any thing dangerous on that chair sweety might as well of saved your time😂.

[@tracygarner5912]

Seems excessive checking his body.

[@deniseduganitz8444]

I will not let the PSA from the airport to Pat me down there was no reason for them to do that specially on a disability person that is in a wheelchair or can walk there ain't no why they can pat you down without your permission TSA has some of the people all wrong and they should not have them at the airports this is why I do not like the TSA because they think they have a right to touch you and pat you down especially on a disabled adult that is in a wheelchair on a walker or just walking without a walker

[@lahceno2168]

I travel every year to Morocco and they check me just in 2 minutes. That's too long.

[@sarahholland1375]

Because a really thin t-shirt could hide stuff? For gods sake. He shouldn't have flexed limbs:If they harm someone very ill whose fragile they should sue the ass off them. I've also seen snails move quicker. Is he on valium.

[@antm2296]

I know people disagree with this along with searching children and elderly people. But if airport security didn’t do these searches on everybody, smugglers would use those who are excluded from searches. So just a necessary evil unfortunately. As long as they do their job professionally and courteously that’s what matters.

[@deborahruthbarlow1695]

Are they assuming he's a terrorist because of his beard?

Is not that easy there are thousands of ways to hide bombs it’s is good to do that to be save fuck humiliating rather be save then die think about your family was there and someone hide a bomb very good and you family dies rather stay save yes I’m sorry for him that’s is so much just for 1 person but stay save
