re: Passengers clap as family is removed from flight

Epi Pens are allowed on flights. Just have to notify security before you go through the screening process. I've got a kid with a peanut allergy, and we've flown before without issue. Just have to be mindful of your own situation and take whatever steps you can (always take the first flight out that day to ensure the plane is clean, have your party sit on either side of the kid, be mindful of your surroundings, etc.). It's really not that difficult to get it done without affecting any other passenger on the plane.

Clapping as they left was pretty shitty, although not surprising. People can be dicks sometimes
