"Robi Mandell, who has multiple sclerosis and lupus, suddenly found herself arguing with a trio of Transportation Security Administration workers. For 20 minutes, she said they repeatedly told her she couldn't get out of her wheelchair and walk through the metal detector – even though she told them several times she was capable of doing that with a cane."

Women pulled off flight at JFK after talking about 'taking down America'

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/women_pulled_america_flight_down_AZJ55fBOfuIxi7uGJ xMHSL#.UafLHvbFhas.email

"Two Middle Eastern women were pulled off an arriving flight at JFK Airport late this afternoon when a passenger claimed she heard one make a comment about “taking down America,” law-enforcement sources told The Post.

The drama unfolded around 5:45 p.m. aboard Delta flight #1192 from Tampa when the female passenger told an airline employee that her seatmate made the ominous comment, the sources said.

The two women were taken into custody by the Joint Terrorism Task Force and Port Authority Emergency Service cops.

They were released without being charged."
