Deaf Passengers an 'Security Risk'

So if cabin crew cannot understand your language, you get kicked off the plane ? Deaf Travellers were Kept Off Flight for 'Security Reasons' Air Méditeranée “regretted” the incident, said a spokeswoman, but under its policy, "a deaf and dumb person is considered a person of reduced mobility," in which case the airline typically beefs up its cabin crew to one crewmember per five people. The airline acknowledged that it should have had the pilot explain the situation, the Local reports. "They felt they were being excluded because of their disability when, in fact, it was just for security reasons," the rep added. But "on an airplane, a deaf person is in the same situation as someone who doesn't speak the language of the cabin crew," said a government minister.
