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!

Index Number: 14716 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] 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.
