Scotty, you touched a screener (pushed her). You can't do that. No one can do that. You were lucky you didn't get arrested. If you even touch a screener with a fingertip, or if the screener bumps into you, they can still call that 'assault'.

I'm not saying the screener didn't over-react. I know most TSOs assume that if a person has hearing difficulties, they just have to shout louder, but PHX has a history of TSOs with particularly aggressive, confrontational attitudes - and PHX's FSDs are never willing to address the problems.

At PHX, TSA is always 'right' and pax are always wrong. It shouldn't be that way, but it is.

To other posters: OP is using ASL (?) and it doesn't always translate as well as clearly as it should.
