The 18-year-old, who has severe autism and suffers from an anxiety disorder, was singled out by a TSA agent for a second pat-down at the security checkpoint.
Tallahassee DemocratTALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A few weeks ago Cullen Chason's summer vacation to Reno, Nevada, was unexpectedly upended.
Another agent nearby offered a private room for the pat-down, but Chason, 61 said it wouldn't be necessary. Cullen let the agent pat him down. Cullen became even more nervous when his older brother tried to explain to him that he’d need another pat-down. “No pat-down,” Cullen insisted, but his older brother persuaded him.
“It was horrible,” Chason said. “We were all upset. You could just see it in his face, he knew he wasn’t going to be able to go.” Cullen's story got the attention of airport director David Pollard. He met with the teen and his father Wednesday, along with TSA agents and representatives from TPD, and listened to their concerns. The newly appointed airport director apologized to Cullen and his dad and he gave them a tour of the airport.
