[nagdu] {Disarmed} Your Travel Through Orlando Airport

[Marsha Drenth]

Debbie and Marilyn, 
thank you for your responses. the fact that they are checking for explosives is not an issue. But if neither me or the dog, set off the metal detector, and I have not touched my dog, then why I am still checked? And why are the other parties with me checked? 
I know what you mean about the difficulty with security, both my husband and I have CPAP machines, plus other control substance medications. 
Has anyone had these same issues with the pre-check clearance thing. I have been meaning to do this, but it takes 90 days. 
Very curiously,

> Hi Marsha, we have issues now whenever we go through security.  My husband had hip replacement surgery last year, so he always sets off the alarms.  He also has a C-Pap.  Sometimes they take it out and look at it, and sometimes they don't.  Same with my Apex.  Sometimes they leave it alone, sometimes they don't.  So now with all this, then comes me and Nova.  Nova's harness will set the metal detector off.  If they allow me to go through after Nova goes through, I should not set off anything.  That's what they're supposed to do.  Spokane generally is very good.  Portland Oregon sucks.  I've even had TSA workers afraid of my dog, and they ran away.  Lol.  So much for our brave Homeland Security folks.  Lol.  I've had them pat me down, because after I got through security with no beeps, my dog reached over and licked my hand.  So we always get to the airport quite early in case of trouble.  The explosive thing is supposed to be standard if someone is traveling with a dog.  Don't ask me why.

However, an Alaska agent told my husband that it might be just as easy to board last since everybody would be already seated.  I just hate to feel rushed getting my dog settled, because then panic mode sets in for me.  Then I start barking orders at my dog because I'm all in a dither.  From ow pre-board, then I take my time and get everything done and I'm settled when everybody else comes aboard.    Debby and Nova
