Security Screener Bars Cancer Patient from Flight

Another low point in airport security, pointed out by Walter in Denver:

Security agents at Orlando International Airport in Florida barred Athena LaPera, 35, from boarding a Frontier Airlines flight to Denver because the ravages of her treatment for cancer had left her no longer looking like the pictures on her passport and Colorado driver's license. Two days later, on Wednesday, the 4-foot-11, 78-pound LaPera finally got on a Frontier airliner with her 15-year-old son and returned to Denver.

Do you feel safer now?
