Flying with a service monkey? Have no fear, the TSA has a set of easy-to-follow rules governing the passage of monkey helpers through airport checkpoints:
# When the handler and service monkey go through the walk through metal detector and the detector alarms, both the handler and the monkey must undergo additional screening.
# Since service monkeys may likely draw attention, the handler will be escorted to the physical inspection area where a table is available for the monkey to sit on. Only the handler will touch or interact with the service monkey.
# Security Officers have been trained to not touch the service monkey during the screening process.
# Security Officers will conduct a visual inspection on the service monkey and will coach the handler on how to hold the monkey during the visual inspection.
