Recommended: DSM 5 Separation Anxiety

On the night of Sunday, September 11th, I was at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport picking up a single-parent mom and her daughter to take them to their final destination within the Dallas area, when I received a parking citation. I was informed after receiving a parking ticket that I could not leave my vehicle parked in front of the passenger pick-up area unattended. It was not my intentions to leave my vehicle unattended in front of the passenger pick-up area. I was waiting to pick-up a passenger, who was traveling with a small child, when I received a phone call from the passenger asking if I could wait just a few more minutes on her while she was waiting for her luggage to be shuttled out from underneath the plane. In the background, I could hear her child screaming and her telling her daughter to be seated within her stroller as she attempted to climb up her stroller to get to her mom. I could hear the frustration in her mom’s voice, while attempting to corral her one-year-old daughter, so I asked her if she saw any airport personnel around that could help her watch her daughter for safety reasons, while she waited …show more content…

I was in shock and total disbelief by her verbal review/opinion(s) of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport as well as flying experience. That night, the only reason why I went inside of the airport was to help her, due to being able to hear the disappointment/frustration within her voice. Her daughter and her received little to no airport employee assistance at that time and while traveling. She decided right then and there, after explaining the circumstances that she had went through while at the airport that she would wait next time until her daughter was five and/or ten, before she attempted to travel with her by airplane

    Rick, I am terribly sorry about your wife’s ordeal. There was no need for her to endure this. This is purely unethical for it shows continual, poor service for all travelers. Like other professions, there are always ‘bad apples’ working for TSA unfortunately. Still, those TSA agents needed to be reprimanded and reminded about being courteous to everyone at all times. There was no excuse for the TSA agents to treat someone badly. I totally understand your unfortunate situation.

  • An Analysis Of Henry Thoreau: Resistance To Civil Government

    1206 Words  | 3 Pages

    Unfortunately, Heatwole takes this whole situation way too far. A statement an affidavit stated, “He was aware that his actions were against the law and that he was aware of the potential consequences for his actions…” (“Student Charged”). To explain, he knew that he was risking thousands of innocent lives, just to bring the point across that anyone can go through TSA with suspicious items on them. This affidavit goes on to state, “...that his actions were an act of civil disobedience with the aim of improving public safety for the air-traveling public” (“Student charged”). His actions were not acts of civil disobedience. If you have to endanger the lives of thousands air-travelers for the need to increase the safety of traveling, that is plain selfishness. The basic reasoning as to why Heatwole wanted to commit these acts was, as a result of civil disobedience. In relation to, civil disobedience is defined as a peaceful form of political protest, in which Heatwole did not achieve by his actions. In no, way shape or form could anyone find what Heatwole did peaceful. He was careless with the lives of the passengers, and was practically using them for his own gain. The idea of civil disobedience came from the poet Henry Thoreau, a Transcendentalist who did not trust the government. He denounced the federal

  • Personal Narrative: El Paso, Texas

    El Paso, Texas is a relatively large city with a small town attitude. It is one of those cities that grows on you. I embrace the laid back lifestyle and bi-cultural environment - it’s given me an opportunity to develop a unique bicultural identity that influences my motivation to succeed. Especially, being the daughter of an immigrant that upholds Mexican culture. The majority of the population is hispanic, which gave me the sense of mexican traditions that I would share with my family in Mexico. Growing up bilingual ironically provided me comfort in the community. Also, the efforts of the community are being made to modernize and improve the city.

    There is no doubt that an elaborate underground base exist below the Denver International Airport. What actually is going on down below in this base however is a mystery. When taking a closer look at this airfield it is evident that something weird is going on. “While the most extreme claim maintains that a massive underground facility exists below the airport where an alien race of reptilian humanoids feeds on missing children while awaiting the date of government-sponsored rapture” (Maher 4). This extreme claim just shows what the human mind can conceive when coincidence and the unknown meet. The research is done, is there a conspiracy or is it just being blown out of proportion.

    Each year thousands of Americans are stopped by the police in order to be questioned and frisked. Everyone understands that each stop, question and frisk encounter violated the established constitutional rights. The legal issues which refer to the Stop, Question, and Frisk policy are associated with violation of certain rules that create a debate regarding the validity of the practices. The controversial Stop, Question, and Frisk practices require thorough investigation. It is illegal to aggressively stop and question American citizens who merely enter public places. In many cases, law enforcement personnel uses creative ways to stop, question and frisk people who have shown no evidence of being involved in criminal activity. For example, the New York Police Department’s “Operation Clean Halls” has been used since 1991 allowing local police officers to conduct the so-called “vertical patrols” by providing well-organized stop-and-frisk searches in hallways of public buildings (Mathias, 2012). Actually, the Stop, Question, and Frisk practiced in New York City by the City Police Department stands for the legal procedure, which requires stop and question thousands of people, as well as frisk them for weapons, drugs and other contraband. In fact, the Stop,

She was taken to custody, some might think this is unlawful others might think it is lawful. In this article “A Tale of Two Summers For Parents” written by Belinda Luscombe argues that Deborah Harrell did nothing wrong. I have to disagree with Luscombe, Deborah Harrell left her daughter in the park for several hours and that is just unacceptable. I understand why Harrell had to do it but that doesn’t change the fact that she left her daughter alone and she was very lucky nothing horrible had happened to her daughter.
