I am aware he is 79 and am presuming he is in a fair state of health both physically and mentally, I am also presuming he is not travelling alone.
He and his family will have been issued with information regarding his pacemaker i.e. type, things to avoid, things to watch out for etc so I find it hard to believe that even the most hardened security folks would 'force' him through the arch. I would have though a firm NO and I want to speak to a supervisor would do it.
I agree elderly people are not always treated with respect but I do think people - of all ages - have to take some responsibility for themselves.
And just for the record I am in no way condoning the actions of security who allowed him to go through.
