The train is 16 hrs and they do not allow dogs unless they are service dogs. I don't think my Chihuahua qualifies. Parking in NY is non existent[ see Seinfeld] Soooooooo I have to make a scan or grope choice >sigh<

if you really are ambivalent, scan is the way -much faster.

This might sound weird but I don't care either way except I have to remove my dog from the carrier to have her carrier x rayed and I am not sure of airport procedure now but I don't want them holding or touching my dog. That would be just what I need for them to drop her.

B4 I used to take the dog out our stuff got x rayed and we both walked thru the metal detector and I put her in her bag. I dunno when the scan or grope takes place.

That is weird But I'm a cat person and
(a) they can be dropped without harm
(b) it would be so funny watching the fuckers hunt down and recapture the cat

I don't want to say what I paid to go on this trip, not to mention the motel costs in NY but my dog will be showing at 3 dog shows there and dropped dogs don't show well!

I don't have a problem with being one of a thousand naked bodies some bored dude looks at for half a second. But personally, I would still choose grope, because I'm in no way convinced the scanners are safe. If you don't want the dog out of the crate though, go with the scanner. It's a big box thing you step into, and you and the dog can go through together. Is the little guy actually getting his own seat, or is he going underneath the plane in cargo?

She is going under the seat in front of me and yah they x ray all bags/crates. I don't want to take her thru the scanner. If the rumors are right and they scramble DNA I don't want to be the first on my block with a new kind of designer human/dog puppies down the road. .

I don't worry so much about my DNA scrambling I don't plan to pass it on.

This is exactly my position too, although I'd add that I'm opposed to the gradual and ever increasing erosion of our rights as spelled out in the Bill of Rights, so I'm in the footfootfoot camp too.

Two men who are out walking their dogs meet on a streetcorner.

One says to the other, "Boy it sure is hot today. I'd really like to go into the bar and get a beer, but the sign on the front door says, 'No Pets Allowed,' and I can't leave Fido alone on the street."

The other man replies, "No problem, just stand by the door and watch me, and you'll be having that beer real soon!"

The second man reaches into his pocket and puts on a pair of dark sunglasses, and then walks into the bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Hey buddy, you can't bring that dog in here!"

The man says, "But I'm blind, and this is my seeing-eye dog!"

The bartender says, "Oh, OK then." The man drinks his beer and leaves.

The first man then puts on dark sunglasses and goes into the bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Hey buddy, you can't bring that dog in here!"

The man says, "But I'm blind, and this is my seeing-eye dog!"

The bartender says, "Oh really? I've never heard of a Chihuahua seeing-eye dog!!"

The man blurts out, "WHAT!? They gave me a Chihuahua?!?"
