An elderly disabled Florida man was detained and abused by Obama TSA agents in Des Moines on his way back to Florida.
After Primo Mezo’s pacemaker set off an alarm TSA agents detained and abused the man causing him to miss his flight.
WHOTV reported, via TSA News Blog:
Primo Meza and his stepdaughter were going through security at the Des Moines airport when Meza’s pacemaker apparently set off an alarm. The crack team of TSA clerks immediately suspected him of nefarious intent:
In the time it took agents to determine Meza was not a security threat, his batteries depleted to the point where it was not safe for him to fly home. His daughter says she tried to plug in the machine during the screening process, but was told she couldn’t.
“When I tried to walk towards him they surrounded me and told me I couldn’t touch him and I said I need . . . I told them like five times I needed to plug him in so that he didn’t lose his battery life,” Tonya Gahagan said, “and they adamantly said I could not.”
