Putting aside the bad grammar of her e-mail, it is unclear what she meant by this, as she cites no specific incident in which such discrimination was evident.

Faulty scanners were the origin of most of these glitches. “The scanners would break more than the computers,” he said. “It would take an entire day to fix them before they broke again. That definitely slowed things down.” For now, the outlook...
