Never will I willing fly out of, or into Columbia MO again. I had a TSA member cause a fuss over a srvice dog, she had no clue as to the federal mandates.
As a result, instead of flying out a 6:30 a.m, wleftat 4:30 p.m. I ended up collasping in the line waitng to go through security as they pulled us out PRIOR to walking through the meta detectr a I sat on the floor with life threatening blod sugar issues for 15 minutes while they processed all others. No one checked on me, the only comment was we are ready for you now. They dopped my laptop, while they tried to upset the dog by scanning and patting me dow 3x both front and back.
My seat was 9B and the flight attedant sat us in row 13 right across frm the restroom. She had my carry on wih my epinephrine and sat it in the overhead in row 1. I made a comment about the fact Dlt was notfied of life threatening chemical and peanut allergies, the response: I'm in chage and you have been to much trouble, you can just get off."As itwasthe last flight and it had been 10 hours of hell, I sat down, a I would not put my dog through any more Delta abuse.
No issues after MEM other than spending the night in BOS airport as all rental cars were closed until the return leg of MEM to COU.
I stood there as the boarding clerk twice informed the crew of my allergies. The attendent gets to my row of seats and asks if I wanted peanuts!!!! She said "Oops" and giggled, and did not check back to see if I was in trouble. I was but I had my ampules of epinephrine with me. I also had a seat mate with needle phobia.
Also in the bag search leaving COU originally, I had $3000+ of medication stolen by TSA, the same agent responsible for 10 hours of abusive treatment, took my bag at the check in counter.
