Yesterday, when I was in line at LAX, I fainted due to low blood sugar.

[TSA Officer] Deborah Johnson was beyond amazing in making me feel safe and cared for. [She] brought me water and made sure I was okay. I am so thankful for her kind heart and professionalism.

[Supervisory TSA] Officer Ruben Garcia was helpful as well. I am just so thankful for them and the way they handled the situation.
