My colleague at TSA News, Lisa Simeone, reports that the TSA has "apologized" to Lucy Forcke and her parents. Lucy is the little girl in the wheelchair about whom I wrote here.
The TSA screeners on duty admitted they had specifically targeted the little girl in a wheelchair. Yet despite this admission, TSA management not only kept mum for three days, but the statement they have now offered goes like this:
“TSA regrets inaccurate guidance was provided to this family during screening and offers its apology.”
I don’t know about you, but that strikes me as pretty thin gruel.
Ah yes, The Book Of TSA Apologies.
Thinner, even, than The Directory of Honest Politicians, Simple Do-It-Yourself Computer Repairs, or Humble Business-School Graduates: A Field Guide.
With contents that are just as risibly disingenuous.
