The Phoenix Star is the newspaper in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada -- the hometown of the people involved in the story.

With all due respect to some who have posted here and not had any problems with CATSA, there are many of us who HAVE had problems, especially in Calgary. And, trust me, they all talk big to the media (i.e. Chuck Strahl -- head of Transport Canada) but I seriously doubt anything will be done regarding the latest complaint other than a slap on the hands of the screeners involved. They all belong to a union so it is very difficult to fire them. Time will tell...

BTW, since the first story, another has come out, as well. I'm sure there are more!

Meanwhile, after hearing of what happened to Strecker, another B.C. family came forward to describe a similar incident at the Calgary airport.

Thierry Gudel said staff mistreated his 80-year-old mother Lena as she made her way through security last August. She was using a wheelchair after shattering her shoulder.

"My mom does not speak English, she speaks French. She asked for assistance from somebody who speaks French and was completely ignored," he said.

"And she was searched everywhere, and in front of all the people the hand went in the back, in the underwear. She was touched underneath her sweater and underneath her skirt."

And, here is additional info on the screening of the other woman.

He said he was appalled by what he describes as airport security's lack of respect in dealing with his 80-year-old mother Lena last August. She was in a wheelchair after shattering her shoulder in a fall.

"They tried to push her up several times, they shook both her shoulders, and she said that the hand went up her skirt, went under her sweater, on her breasts and it went in the back in her underwear," Gudel said.

"They grabbed her arm and pushed it up, and she screamed ‘ouch' and then tried to push it down. They did it three times and she started to cry because of the pain."

He says he plans to file a complaint about his mother's experience.

"I think those people should also be trained in recognizing if there is a disability and how to treat people with respect."
