Letter: Political loons abusing the weak

She approached security with the slow, steady gait of an 89-year-old great-grandmother. The TSA agents eyed her warily, knowing that somewhere concealed on that toddling, 102-pound frame they would find the device that would carry a plane load of innocents to their death.

The scanner wasn’t enough. And although she needed help down the ramp of the scanner, they descended on her with the tenacity of a 300-pound lion attacking a lame gazelle.
