[nagdu] TSA Screening of Service Animals

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

And, what a sad outlook on life and the world. 
There has never been a world "where you can trust people like you used
to". Know how to be safe, love and trust wisely and enjoy.

That works great if you use the follow command. I was never taught it
and when I asked about using it they said it was a bad habit to get the
dog into. This just an opinion I know many that use it very well with
little or no problems. I don't like to ask strangers to help I heard of
a young man that asked a stranger to tell him where his gate was and he
handed his boarding pass to him and he said he would check the gate to
see if it had changed and he never came back. If I have a friend take me
to the airport I usually have them just drop me off and have a sky cap
take me through security and to the gate. Granted I will ask for help
but don't give up my ticket or boarding pass. It is a sad world we live
in when you can't trust people like you used to be able too. I also
never have anyone call my dog or give my leash up to anyone no matter
who it is. He works for me and only listens to me. He never has not
stayed at the metal detector when I tell him to sit and stay that is the
reason for daily discipline exercises.
