A really crazy question about travel...

Post by Nenetx2004 » Tue Dec 04, 2007 11:09 am

Here goes....

I have a small dog who can travel in the cabin with me on airlines that allow this. My hesitation to do this is the whole "CPAP/TSA grabbing the machine while I'm trying to put my shoes on and walking away with it" issue.

Has anyone out there flown with a pet AND a CPAP? I know this is a weird question.....

Oh, and the last time I flew, TSA took my machine and the #@$%&*&^ employee disappeared! I was PO'd!!! When I caught up with "Zippy the Pin-head", I asked to speak to a supervisor. I told the supervisor that under NO circumstances should that machine have left my sight. The supervisor agreed and chastised the employee.......

Maybe a lightweight nylon cord tied to the handle of each, allowing you to carry one in each hand if necessary but one can't go far w/o the other should another over-exhuberant or suspicous airline employee want to take off to another area w/one or the other??
