"He looked at me, annoyed and said, "Luggage can't be left unattended."

"I AM attending it," I said incredulous.

"You don't understand, SOME BODY needs to be in possession of the luggage," he said and I didn't get his implication, not yet, I was still too startled.

"I am in possession of this luggage, it is MINE," my voice is rising.

He looks at me with exaggerated patience, "SOME BODY (long pause) needs to be attending the luggage."

I got it then, I wasn't SOME BODY, "Are you suggesting that I can't supervise my own luggage because I'm in a wheelchair?"

Thanks, AC! That's choice!

    I will make one comment here. If this individual was blocking a "fire route" then moving the luggage would have been appropriate. It is sometimes hard to figure out the "fire route". So this would maybe have been possible.

    But frankly then the guy should have said so. I am sure this man would have had a completely different response and our understanding of the situation would have been completely different if the guy had said "I am sorry, and this may seem a little silly, but this is a fire evacuation route, and where if there were an emergency you could not quickly move your stuff out of the way we need you to be out of the way and so I need to help you with that".

    Some times and way to frequently I find that "that is what the security rules require" is used as a poor substitute for actually telling people what is going on. I have to wonder if this is one of those cases. In which case the guy was even dumber than he first appeared.
