[NAGDU] TSA Remobving HarnesseswasL Materials for Canes

[Raven Tolliver]

Training is what makes a service dog, not working gear.

As the current regulation stands, I am not required to, but I am free
to remove whatever equipment from my dog I choose. He is my dog, and
he is a guide dog no matter what he is or is not wearing.
