travelers looking for guidance in this area of concern.

Marion,

Thank you so much for putting this to the list. This letter states it,
in my opinion, very directly. Removal of harness or other equipment is
wrong. Inappropriate searches are wrong. Extensive searching is wrong.

I think I'll make sure to pring a copy of this in case I should ever
need to travel by plane with a service animal. It would be a good
thing to show to officers if they insist on inappropriate searches,
such as taking a harness apart or searching poor puppy's cavities...I
doubt the handheld wand went off around puppy's backend.
