Tips, Tricks, and Travel with Lucky

Check out this story by The Consumerist. Basically an airport employee (I’m not convinced it’s “airport security,” as stated there) tells a disabled man that he’s not in possession of his luggage because he’s in a wheelchair. How ridiculous. The original blog post is also linked there.
