Cancer patient denied flight

AIRPORT security screeners refused to let a cancer patient board a flight home to Denver because they said she no longer resembled her identification photos.

Athena LaPera, 35, eventually flew out of Orlando International Airport on a Frontier Airlines flight, two days after she was turned away by security screeners.

LaPera said she had lost weight and hair because of chemotherapy treatments since the photos were taken for her US passport and Colorado driver’s licence.
