[nagdu] {Disarmed} Your Travel Through Orlando Airport

[Debby Phillips]

Hi Marsha, as I understand it, they are required to check for 
explosives, whether you have touched your dog going through the 
metal detector or not.  What they say is that explosives leave a 
residue on a person's hands.  What I haven't quite figured out is 
why people with dogs would be automatically chosen to be checked 
for explosives.  But that's the way it goes.  Lately TSA has been 
really hit hard for missing things, they failed like 73% of the 
time during a test period.  So I'm imagining that security will 
be even tighter.  I do think that TSA (like many other agencies 
and departments), needs more training about disabilities.  But it 
is doubtful that they will do that.  Everything comes down to 
money in these times.  I'm not sure what to suggest regarding not 
hearing what the TSA people are saying.  Perhaps if you can get 
the attention of one specific person at the beginning of the 
process, they will let others know? I'm just not sure.  Wish I 
had a better answer for that.    Peace,    Debby
