this is just to eliminate any misunderstanding,
the person i called an idiot, was a non-disabled who hid those weapons
under a plaster, and presented a false doctor's certificate. i dont
understand y i am wrong in calling him so.
i called the man who carried those weapons in the plaster, an
then there is also the fact about that idiot hiding weapons under his
plaster and hijacking a flight.
giving them the benefit of the doubt, there's no way for them to know
who's genuin and who's not.
there needs to be a neater, more fool proof system of security,
something more than a doctor's
An year ago, I travelled from Chennai to Goa in Jet Air ways. Since I
was with my friend, I didn't inform anyone about my disability. But
the staff in the flight noticed my visual impairment. They confirmed
my disability and informed me about the precautions to be taken in
case of emergency.
Thank you guys for your inputs. Let me first correct that I am not
'Professor' as quoted rather Assistant professor at UCMS GTB Hospital.
TOI perhaps consider all teachers at DU as Professors.
At international airports (Frankfurt, Bangkok, Seoul and Hongkong) ppl with

To add more to this, day before yesterday, at Hithro Airport in London

I think growing greater threat to ssecurity worldwide and respecting
human dignity of persons with disabilities need greater sensitisation
world over.

I am surprised about lack of sensitivity at heathrow. In my opinion, the
security staff at heathrow are the most polite and sensitive about disability.
Of course my observations are purely from a visual impairment perspective. But
this also emphasizes the need for regular refresh of training
