[nagdu] Advance Notification

[Ann Edie]

But air travel is under the ACAA (Air Carrier Access Act), not the ADA.  So
it's a completely different situation.  And everyone, disabled or not, is
required to show ID in order to board an aircraft, so it is not
discrimination to ask a person with a disability to show ID.  Now, if you
were asked to show ID to merely gain access to the airport terminal, such as
if you were going there to meet an arriving family member or to accompany a
class of school kids on a field trip to the airport, or something like that,
then that might be under the ADA and its regulations.

This is, of course, only my understanding of the situation.  So take with a
large grain of salt.

Best,
Ann

Well, you aren't required to show ID, if you show it and access is gained,
then I am guessing that you would have a harder case. I was asked to show at
the airport in Louisville. Well, I wasn't sure if I really had to show it or
not, but I didn't want to stay in Louisville, so I showed it. I think that
happened only once.
