No Isaac, it is you who doesn't understand, not us guys!
     Your story has changed consistantly with each message you've left
in this thread, but one thing that remains is your desire to view this
as if you are being treated differently because of your blindness.  You
have, however, not presented us with one bit of evidence to show that
this is indeed what is going on!  You Isaac, are being treated the same
as any person going through the security check at an airport, but simply
want to view it as a blindness issue!
     I'll be going through airport security this friday, and I expect to
be treated the same as any sighted person, the same way I've been
treated in the past, but trust me, if there is any sign whatsoever that
they are treating me differently based upon my blindness, I'll scream
bloody murder!

The NFB and ACB do essentially the same thing butuse different
approaches.  Right now my bet would be with the ACB.  They realy
havereally fine people as officers, on the board, andrunning their
chapters.  It takes consistancy from the top down. Grant
