Mobility Disability

• Don't hesitate to ask a screener for assistance with your mobility aid and carry-on items as you proceed through the security checkpoint.
• Let the screener know your level of ability (e.g., whether you can walk, stand or perform an arm lift).  This will expedite the screening process.
• Ask the screener for assistance if you need help walking through the metal detector.
• Inform the screener about any special equipment or devices that you are using and where this equipment or device is located on/in your body.  This will help the screener be careful during a physical search if one is needed.
• Ensure that all bags and satchels hanging from, or carried on and under, your equipment are put on the X-ray belt for inspection.
• Ask the screener for assistance with putting your items on the x-ray belt, if needed.
• Let the screener know if you need assistance removing and putting your shoes back on your feet when additional screening is necessary.
• Let the screener know if your shoes cannot be removed because of your disability so that alternative security procedures can be applied to your shoes.
• Ask the screener to monitor your accessible property, mobility aid(s,) and device(s) during the screening process and reunite you with them once x-ray inspection is complete.
• Request a private area for your pat-down inspection if you feel uncomfortable with having a covered medical device displayed while inspected by the screener.
