The train is 16 hrs and they do not allow dogs unless they are service dogs. I don't think my Chihuahua qualifies. Parking in NY is non existent[ see Seinfeld] Soooooooo I have to make a scan or grope choice >sigh<

if you really are ambivalent, scan is the way -much faster.

This might sound weird but I don't care either way except I have to remove my dog from the carrier to have her carrier x rayed and I am not sure of airport procedure now but I don't want them holding or touching my dog. That would be just what I need for them to drop her.
B4 I used to take the dog out our stuff got x rayed and we both walked thru the metal detector and I put her in her bag. I dunno when the scan or grope takes place.

That is weird But I'm a cat person and
(a) they can be dropped without harm (b) it would be so funny watching the fuckers hunt down and recapture the cat

I don't want to say what I paid to go on this trip, not to mention the motel costs in NY but my dog will be showing at 3 dog shows there and dropped dogs don't show well!

I don't have a problem with being one of a thousand naked bodies some bored dude looks at for half a second. But personally, I would still choose grope, because I'm in no way convinced the scanners are safe. If you don't want the dog out of the crate though, go with the scanner. It's a big box thing you step into, and you and the dog can go through together. Is the little guy actually getting his own seat, or is he going underneath the plane in cargo?

She is going under the seat in front of me and yah they x ray all bags/crates. I don't want to take her thru the scanner. If the rumors are right and they scramble DNA I don't want to be the first on my block with a new kind of designer human/dog puppies down the road. .
I don't worry so much about my DNA scrambling I don't plan to pass it on.

This is exactly my position too, although I'd add that I'm opposed to the gradual and ever increasing erosion of our rights as spelled out in the Bill of Rights, so I'm in the footfootfoot camp too.
