Yes, because she had to get what she could on short notice she has a very lousy flight. Ft. Laud to Dallas to La to Guam, to Manila to Cebu City. Meanwhile I took her to the airport and stayed with her till we got to security then they made me leave. Here is what happened: 1. Paid a porter to take her in while I parked our jeep. He drops her off at DOMESTIC. I get there and switch her to INTERNATIONAL now in the back of the line again. There is ONE person at the ticket counter checking in a HUGE CROWD. Man behind us PASSES OUT my wife, a nurse tries to give him aid but she had nothing but water. She got him revived once and said GET THE PARAMEDICS. Everyone is shouting call 9/11 TSA does NOTHING. I run over through the crowd to the ticket counter shouting WE HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY get help here IMMEDIATELY. 20 minutes later they show up, but I think it was TOO LATE FOR THE OLD GENTLEMAN. Lack of care PERIOD. 2. Finally we get checked in and I take her over to security to go to the gate. Women smiles at her and says I am going to make you a VIP. My wife is all happy THINKING what you are thinking, NOPE IT MEANS FULL BODY SEARCH. I tell them my wife is bereaved why are you treating her like this, they just tell me I have to leave the area. So I go away, call about 20 minutes later on our cell phone, all shook up she is now getting to the gate JUST IN TIME for her flight. So my dear friends that is FLYING IN AMERICA today. Lousy service, lousy federal CLERKS overexercising their authority. I wouldnt fly if YOU PAID ME. jdn
