This is Katie’s 9th flight in the 8 1/2 months I have had her. Every single time we go through security she beeps because of her collar, they ask if I can take it off, I say no and they pat her down. According to law you do not have to take off any harness, gear or collar. It may confuse the dogs like Katie that get in the working mindset only when dressed the part. So today, all 4 security officers admit fear of patting down such a big dog. So what do they do instead? Nothing. It is not like Katie is hiding uranium under her harness or anything, but someones dog could be. I am just in awe for two reasons. Security was supposedly beefed up after the attempted attack on christmas. 2. They are afraid to touch her but they have no problem with me taking her collar and leash off to let her walk freely around security?

Ohhh Logan Airport… How you confuse me!
