Minor Challenge at OAK
I received a very minor access
challenge at the Oakland Airport yesterday. The boarding pass
checker at the beginning of the security queue asked me for my
dog's boarding pass as well. I told her I didn't need one, and she
then asked: "Don't you need a letter or something?"
I brusquely (but politely) explained that the Air Carrier Access
Act ensured that my dog could accompany me, and that no boarding
pass or other special paperwork was necessary. My no-nonsense
attitude convinced her that I knew what I was talking about, and
she let me pass without further comment.
