Absolutely. Along with that can come the stigma of being segregated from the public. "Why was that person walked into that room?" "OMG, they are on my flight!" "Are they a terrorist?" "Why is Mommy going away with that lady?" "What did he do?"

I know, it seems a little dramatic, but I'm sure you get my point.
