No, the wheels were chained or removed (depending on the model of the wheelchair.) How else could they have been held against their will?

**A: hahaha, too funny. Airpost prisoners with no access to the crappy rip off concession food, no help, no bathrooms**************.....Sounds like a third world country. And in a DC airport to boot. Were they TSA prisoners under the new Give Me A Homeland Security Act?

There are no airports in the District of Columbia.

What's amazing is that none of this has been reported anywhere. You'd think one of these people would have spoken with the media...
