Congrats to the TSA agents (there's a first) for being alert and aware as opposed to the rule-following zombies we've taken them to be.
It kind of helps that she asked for help.
She didn't ask for help until after the two TSA agents asked her if she was in danger.
The agents were really astute. They noticed bruises on both sides of the woman's face and rug burns on her shoulder. Anyone with common sense would have picked up on that.
"Anyone with common sense would have picked up on that". Well let's see Mr. Dunn. Miami International Airport, thousands of people walking around from many different countries,many different cultures, hundreds of cops patrolling the airport. Ummm,I guest none of them had any common sense, right? WRONG!!!! Common sense is not what was used to saved this woman, but behavior traning was.
"In the course of their duty, they did what they were trained to do,” said Mark Hadfield, the agency’s director at MIA. “They saw stress, they saw fear, and it turned out that this woman was in really dire danger.”

For all the beating up we do on the TSA it's nice to see a story like this. Nice job TSA! :)
Well said.
Exactly.
