Everyone must give up something to travel. .
Ron, this is exactly what RichardKenner meant, I believe, in that insightful post he made. Telling someone that they won't be permitted to travel because they refuse to allow a TSO to press on an injured body part, or stitches, or to remove a dressing is simply not right.
This may not be what actually occurs (well, yes, we have proof that it does from various posters) but you are making it sound like those with physical issues may be turned away if they 'choose' not to permit a TSO to handle them in a way which causes them more pain or injury.
