Body Scanners and Pet Travel in Cabin

1/12/2010

Just Chill...

We just don’t know about this yet…would the introduction of full body scanners for airline travel mean pets also need to be scanned, or will Raja have to wait anxiously on the sidelines while I get scanned? Personally, I’d like to say I don’t mind being scanned, but I already mind having to take my coat, belt and shoes off and allow everything I own to go filtering through an x-ray machine while I pad through the metal detector picking up flug and dirt on my clean socks. I mean, we’re halfway undressed already, so why not just take it all off? And I mind having to pack it all up again. And I minded when we had film in our cameras and it printed out grainy because of the rays. Raja doesn’t like it all that much either, but he puts up with it better than anyone I know.

Hey, you know what else I mind. And this is picky I know. I mind that it’s OK to bring huge thick knitting needles through, but a little bottle of complementary, half-used hotel hand lotion needs to be put in a plastic bag to make it safe. And, HOW does a plastic bag make it safe?

Raja tells me I’m foaming at the mouth and might need to get my rabies shot, so I’ll table this tirade and get back to pet travel, which I suppose is why you are reading this.

We have done as much research as we possibly can to find out what full body scanners might mean for pet travelers. At present, full body scanners are reportedly on order for many international airline hubs. They are not widely in use yet and the controversy over and objection to such scanners is substantial. Airlines are not prepared to say much about use for humans, and as yet, there is no printed regulation for pets. I suspect that pets will be treated like babies and toddlers, although what that may mean is yet not clearly stated.

So, while I do not know anything about full body scanners and pets right now, I do know that, if you google “full body scanners” you can read that they will cause you to lose your memory, give birth to tarantulas and grow hair on your tongue. Readers, as soon as Raja and I know anything on this topic, we will tell you all about it, but until then, let’s just all chill. Do not stop traveling and do not leave your adventure loving pet at home. Adventures are for people and pets!

Now this is a good topic.. UMM ... they will probably start scanning us too .. after all they are looking for hidden explosives or products that can be used as such .. now do we look like we would hide something of that nature ?? Of course people that have no value of life , probably have no value for their pets either ... lets not give them any ideas ...

Gosh Helen and Raja...

I just don't know what to think. I for one am afraid to travel far now.

I will email you about more and ask you about what my thoughts are.

I love you Raja and Helen and Alex.

Hmmmmmmm... it is making travel more uncomfortable - but, I'm not going to quit. If they need to scan me... I'm OK with that (I'd really rather not strip nekkid Helen... hehe).

I would like to know more about the 'real' side affects though - I don't need any more hairy places and certainly not my tongue;)

We've never flown with Veronica & Piccadilly so I don't think it will be an issue for us... good luck to all the Flying Furless and Furry Folk.

Hm... I guess I'm not surprised but now I know not to travel with Willie Mae.

If she got aggressive with an untrained TSA worker and bit someone, I could TOTALLY see something going awry.

ONE false move and BAM..

I could lose more than my luggage! :(

We travel a few times per year. Without Bailey. Bailey would not have reacted well to a stranger touching her in that manner before she had a chance to check him out and warm up to him. It would have been a bad incident since she probably would have bit him and we would have been in trouble for it.

u know, I really wonder what the long term effect of body scans could be? If they begin to scan pets, who metabolize things much more quickly than we do, what will this mean to their health? Your info. is, as always, good to know.... we like to be prepared!
