urgent request for quadralateral patient

I am writing on behalf of the owner of my company, Mort Levy.
We just received a call from a patients mother. The patient is 21 y/o,
female, quadralateral amputee. Tomorrow she will be flying from PHL to NC. The
last time she flew, with total humiliation, security made her remove all 4 limbs
and xrayed them. This was dehumanizing and humiliating to her.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Are there pre-screening
regulations? Is this standard security measure throughout the country that subjects
amputees to this humiliation???
