[nagdu] GDB and Airports Re: Removing Harness and Leash forSecurityRe:flyingwithPrincess for the first time

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

When I was in training to get Lexia in 2007, GDB took the entire class to 
the airport near the end of training to practice. They told us that we would 
set off the metal detector. They did not tell us to take off the harness or 
use a leash that did not have metal. This was my own idea.
