A few months ago I was seeing my wife off at our local airport.  I told the TSA agent at the entrance to the secure area that I was my wife's comfort dog.  Without looking at me he said in a low, wry voice, "Sir, you actually have to be a dog."

Was she an NBC executive?  After Lester Holt's botched trip to North Korea I understand......

Or was that where she was now flying......  The skiing looked great on camera!

just so they allow my "Emotional support"  Jack Daniels on board. :)

They make a heck of a lot of noise and even more smelly peacock by-products if you know what I mean.  If it were my seat-mate, it would not have survived the trip.  I've had one flight with a lady that had a shithzu or whatever between her feet next to me.  She spent the whole flight bent over keeping the dog quiet.  How ridiculous.

Peacock is not a pet.  Some of these people are really dumb and stupid.  What emotional support? emotional support my #%#.  What's next, some fool will bring a cow, or horse into the airport terminal.

 

Horse? It's already been done lol

I have a friend who runs a horse therapy program in the Berkshires - she uses horses (full-size ones) to work with people with a variety of issues - autism, PTSD, etc.  So it's a legit thing.

Of course, in her case, the people travel to the horses, not the other way around...
