Air travel is cheaper than it's ever been and as such expect the same quality of "service" that you'll get at any discount business, which means getting a cold shoulder when you feel disrespected.
You are glossing over the fact that it was not cattle car airline treatment that triggered the trauma. It was at the wandering hands of our government and the same thing could have happened to her at a train station or bus stop now.
