The Mandy family says they were on their way to the happiest place on earth (Disney), but had to go through hell to get there.
"I realize they're trying to keep people safe, but come on, does he look like a terrorist?" said Dr. David Mandy.
The family was going through security when two TSA agents singled Drew Mandy out for a special pat down. Drew is severely mentally disabled. He's 29, but his parents said he has the mental capacity of a two-year-old, which made the experience that followed at metro Detroit's McNamera Terminal that much harder to deal with.
Dr. Mandy claimed they asked Drew to place his feet on the yellow shoe line, something he didn't understand. They proceeded to pat his pants down, questioning the padding which was his adult diapers. When the agents asked Drew to take his hand and rub the front and back of his pants so they could swab it for explosives, his dad stepped in and tried to explain that Drew was mentally challenged.
"They said, 'Please, sir, we know what we're doing,'" Mandy said.
You got to love the way TSA staff harass the disabled. People in wheelchairs. Kids in diapers. You just know that Drew Many was going to take down that plane with his plastic hammer. Hey you just know how tricky al Qaeda can be. How do we know they aren't actively recruiting mentally handicapped Americans by offering them ice cream and chocolate chip cookies.
