[NAGDU] water in air ports

[Christopher O'meally]

okay, I will try to answer your questions as best I can, and if I am
wrong, others feel free to correct.  When I am flying with Krieger, O
pack him a bowl, and get water in the airport after security, just so
I can keep things moving, but then again I am always in a hurry.  TSA
has rules online about what you can and can n ot bring past the
security check points, and while I'm not totally verced on them as I
should be being as I travel a lot, they have a max amount a single
thing can hold when it comes to liquid, and it must not be opened.
But if your airport has places to eat, water fountains, or even sinks
witch it should have all of those, I find that just not risking being
slowed down for any reason and filling the bowl as needed after
security works for me best.  as far as inindoor parking at the
airports, I personally don't.  Even though the area is separated from
the general public for the most part, I don't know if another dog will
come in later after I have already figured out that ist empty, I don't
know hwo they will react, and I don't know how clean they keep the
area in question, so I just long leash.  hope this helps.
