GA Ga - Keon Mayweather, 24, Hartsfield-jackson International Airport, 4 May 2018

[JerseyGirl]

Keon Mayweather was last seen at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport by her sister on May 4. Mayweather was supposed to travel by Greyhound from the airport to Little Rock, Arkansas, but she never arrived at her destination.

Police: Atlanta woman missing for over a month

Same happened 2years ago, there is also said that she is mentally disabled
Euless woman, mentally challenged and missing since May, found safe

Why do they keep letting her travel alone? No lesson learned, I guess!

Especially on Greyhound. The number of shady people on that bus. I had to take it home from Vegas when a flight got cancelled. Doing drugs in the back, homeless children. It's a rough ride for a normal person.

Few people are aware that the Feds actually put their prisoners (minimum security..) on Greyhound to transport them to other facilities around the nation. They are told they better be where they are supposed to be or else, pretty much. It is cheaper than them flying them all over.

In this day and time, in most cases, it isn't cheaper to ride Greyhound rather than buy a plane ticket. You get special cases such as holidays where there are a lot of people traveling, etc. but even Greyhound tickets will be more expensive then. Not to mention that I'm sure that there's some airline that would be more than glad to cut the Feds a sweet discount to take care of this service.
But the Feds follow an assumption that was true 20-30+ years ago just because they can't be bothered to look into updating.

Im not too sure that it isn't cheaper than breaking out "ConAir" for all of the minimum security inmates. That is not fiscally responsible, either. Also, flying domestic would probably bring up issues with TSA and other agencies, not to mention passengers if found out. I know that there is a bus service (not Greyhound) on the West coast that is going to have super low fares (like under $25.00 I believe) to travel from PHX to LA. Besides, maybe they have a "deal" with Greyhound...lol?

This is a point that I hadn't considered. I blame lack of caffeine.

I'll tell you why - these people, like everyone else, want independence. They want nothing more than to be viewed and treated like everyone else.
And I think, often times, their families recognize that. Life is not just about safety, it's also about quality of life and happiness, which these people will not feel if constantly being micro-managed and restricted.

I guess it is a balance between safety and independence. However, imo only, I would not give the car keys to my grandmother with alzheimer's, even though she demands independence.
