[nagdu] Service dog ID required at Statue of Liberty

[Mark J. Cadigan]

I was at the statue of liberty a couple months ago, and had no problem with 
service dog id. However, yesterday, I was at the museum of fine arts in 
Boston, and this security guard pulled that ID stunt. I told her that no ID 
was required under the law, realizing she did not understand a word I said, 
I just continued walking.  Nothing came of it.
