[quote=Anonymous]In this scenario, there is the potential for permanent harm. Scratching an eyeball, passing a blood borne disease (AIDs, hepatitis), possibly getting hit/poked etc. are all real risks for an innocent passenger sitting nearby. This risk is increased if the nearby passengers themselves have disabilities. Perhaps they can't move out of the way quickly. Perhaps they have pre-existing injuries that could be re-injured. Perhaps being around this girl's episode will set off an episode for them. The airline does have a responsibility to minimize the risk of physical harm for all its passengers. What is the acceptable risk for another passenger? 50% chance of being hit/scratched? 25% 10% 5% Would you feel differently if you knew the girl had a communicable disease? I feel sorry for the family. It is hard to parent a child with SN. But I don't think the airline should be faulted for taking preventive steps to minimize passenger risk. [/quote]
