Trust me on this -- he put himself through that, not the TSA. He did

to do was be wheeled around to the side and have someone scan him and
inspect the wheelchair. Plenty of wheelchair-bound people fly.

I saw the exact same thing Myron described happen to an elderly Japanese man
in ATL after a flight back from Tokyo. FWIW

Ah, the "telling him that he could NOT go through the scanner in the metal
chair, so he stood up and with the assistance of a cane, limped his way to the
doorway. Then she said he could NOT go through with the cane, as it was metal.
So, still smiling, he gave her the cane and held on to the frame of the scanner.
THEN she said he could NOT touch the scanner" consists of two cases. g

BTW, I think it's ****ty they would put someone through that. I'd sure like to
know why they feel that is necessary.
