Putting Fido or Miss Kitty in among your shirts and toiletries in your carry on bags? True story but please don't.
“It’s something we are starting to see, travelers get stressed out at security checkpoints and come into the line trying to get their boarding pass and prep everything else at the same pace as everyone around them and they just aren’t paying attention,"said Mark Howell, TSA Southeast regional spokesman.
Although pets don’t face physical danger from the scan, Westbrook said owners can never anticipate whether animals will react emotionally or mentally and as a result, cause harm to themselves or the equipment. Howell suggested travelers plan as every airport has different protocols for what kinds of animals are allowed and how to travel with pet companions.
According to Howell, typically TSA officials ask travelers who are accompanied by an animal to bring the animal in a carrier and to remove the pet and all their items – like leashes or toys and snacks – into a security tray just like travelers do with their personal items.
