At least it’s not homeless people poop.
Leave the dog, take the fidget spinner.
“Why don’t they adapt Israeli security methods and quit molesting people? End of problem.”

The Israelis do one heckuva thorough job keeping their air traffic safe, but I suspect going through a 3rd degree interrogation would be appreciated as much as the feelups.
Forbid Muslims and those who sympathize with Islam from flying and 99.9 percent of the problem is solved. But that won’t happen either - they can’t even be singled out for a special look-see.
Flying isn’t much better than riding a bus anymore.
When I travel, I’d so much rather just drive my own car. I control the speed, the luggage, the entertainment, the meals, the accommodations, and when I get there.
I flew United to and from Chicago this week in 737s
There were at least three dogs on each flight. Only one of them was wearing an “On The Job” type vest. The rest just looked like pets.
I flew into San Diego last year. They had the police dogs all over the place, of course. So they also had a golden retriever being led around by an airport employee with big “PLEASE PET ME” written on both sides of his vest.
The children all loved it.
Pooches growing in airports?
Is there a special room or something where these dogs are grown?
Are there separate rooms for the different breeds and for their abilities?
Are the growing ‘rooms’ (or whatever they are) for sale and they are available to the public?
Do they come in puppy sizes?
Is there lifetime guarantees?
What’s the warrantee?

When it comes to kids and dogs, I think you’d only need a sign to tell them not to pet the mutts. I know it’s my first impulse, tho I check it so as not to potentially endure a series of rabies shots.

Yes, so as to not mix the Alphas dogs in with the Epsilon dogs.
I’m saving my emotional support Great Dane for the next time I have to ride in the center seat in a fully packed steerage cabin on United. I’m sure nobody would mind.
No mixed opinion for me. Wanna bring your dog, buy a cage and a ticket for the luggage hold.
I don’t pay $500 for a ticket just to have my allergies affected by somebody’s mutt with “credential” from Amazon
I am stealing that for my tag line. :-)
I’m all for actual service dogs on the plane, but “therapy” dogs? It’s been abused. And so many times it’s a pet and not been trained to be used to crowds and strange places/noises. Not very kind to the dog.

I’m not for therapy pets on airplanes either. But if airports/airlines want to provide dogs for company/petting in their airports, I’m okay with that. Nobody is forced to pet any mutts.
Seems kind of snowflaky to me but whatever.
I have done my FR duty for the day. :)

If a person’s gotta go cross country with a pet, they should drive, is my thinkin. Dunno about going Romney-style with Fido, though. But most dogs love riding in vehicles.
I keep noticing dogs in the grocery stores now. There used to be signs against it. Then it was service dogs allowed. Now I see mostly chihuahuas and yorkies in peoples carts etc. I know they are not all service dogs. But they say they are.
Because TSA isn't about security and never has been. It's a make-work jobs program.

More for the kids, nervous first time flyer-types and someone coming to what - to them - is a strange place. If someone’s an emotional wreck while flying, they should book an extra seat for their shrink.
