Deaf flyer harassed by TSA at Louisville airport - blog
A deaf friend of mine posted this link on her Fakebook page about a blog post.

I've had a read, and quite astounded that such a thing could happen, if 100% true.
However, I am also aware there's two sides to every story but my flying experience in the US is extremely limited.
Certainly not an experience that I've ever encountered in all my years of flying internationally, thank goodness!
Any US-based deaf flyers care to comment?

I'm interested more and more on what the other story might have been now that he pulled his post - he did not want it to go viral, wanting only 10 people to see it, not 1800+.
If that happened the way he described for me, I'd want the whole bloody world to know, and I'm an a very private person (even more so than the average Brit).

The TSA blog has responded to this alleged incident:

stuff happen with the TSA but nothing as morbid as this.
