British Airways is facing a backlash after refusing to let a teenage boy with Tourette's syndrome board his flight, sparking a heated debate over safety rules, disability rights and how far airlines should go to accommodate passengers with neurological conditions. The 13‑year‑old was reportedly heard shouting 'bomb' inside the airport, leading authorities to fear he could have a dangerous device in his bag.
The teenager's parents criticised British Airways over their decision and said they had informed the airline ahead of time about their son's condition.
