Cardiff Airport security staff reprimand cancer survivor retrieving stoma supplies

Security officers at Cardiff Airport shouted at cancer survivor Paul Scanlon when he attempted to collect his stoma supplies from the baggage carousel, then escorted him to an interview room for a search.

The airport said it provides a private search room to maintain dignity and has trained staff to understand stoma-related needs, while the UK Civil Aviation Authority requires disability‑awareness training and expects officers to act sensitively.
