Not a lawyer but isn't the video solid evidence of the young woman's acts? Charges were dropped because of the public perception of government ganging up on a disabled person. The optics of this case was a loser for TSA, Memphis police, and the Memphis airport even if the lady was found guilty.
In an earlier post the lady was described as "retarded". I think use of such words has no place on Flyertalk. The lady has a brain injury caused by a tumor. Would a person without a limb be retarded?
And if anyone cares to notice the mother was using a medical walking boot. She was sitting because she has an injury.
