[nagdu] Security check

[barbandzoe at comcast.net]

Hi,

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see why people are so upset if you are flying or going some place where there are a lot of people.  Is it so wrong for a place to want to make sure that the dog that is would not have is a well trained dog. 



I can go on line and buy a harness and everything I would need to look like I have a guide dog.  The only thing I would not have is a well trained dog .  
I get it, we don't want to be questioned  every time you go shopping,  but if I am on an airplane with a dog, I would like to know that the dog has been trained to be in a plane.  
If you have a metal hip or something like that, you get questioned by  security .

Last night, we went to a concert.  A security person wanted to check over 
Ben, not sure why, but I let her.  She ran her hands over him, like they do 
at the airport, then she looked at his ID tags.  Ben has 2:  one with my 
address, and one saying Seeing Eye and their address.  I think she was 
confirming that he's a genuine service dog.
I thought it was funny and a bit odd.  In 34 years, I don't remember anyone 
ever looking at the school ID tag.
Tracy
