"With the Thanksgiving holiday travel height in the next two days, the Transportation Security Administration tries a delicate balance between ensuring the safety of the traveling public and not invading people's privacy rights.But the screening creates a table with questions of health care professionals:• TSA officers Are trained to deal with patients, such as Sawyer who may have a medical condition?• What about elderly people and others with hip replacements and similar disorders?• Cancer patients have to take off wigs?• How is the TSA dealing with pat lists of children?• What will, how people with mental illness?
