You may ask the Security Officer to...
* Explain the security process to you.
* Verbally communicate to you throughout each step of the screening process.
* Provide you with assistance by placing your items on the X-ray belt.
* Provide you with assistance by providing you with an arm, hand, or shoulder as you move through the process.
* Find someone to escort you through the security process.
* Let you know where the metal detector is located.
* Let you know when you will be going through the metal detector.
* Let you know when there are obstacles you need to avoid.
* Perform a physical inspection (in lieu of an X-ray inspection) of your white collapsible cane. This will allow you to guide yourself through the walk-through metal detector. Inspection of your white collapsible cane will be completed after you go through the walk-through metal detector. If your white cane cannot be cleared with by physical inspection, the Security Officer will notify you that the cane must be X-rayed.
* Perform a hand inspection of equipment (e.g., Braille note-takers) if you are concerned that the X-ray inspection may damage them.
* Reunite you with all of your carry-on items and assistive devices after the X-ray or physical inspection of the items is completed, including electronic equipment that has been specially adapted for your use.
* Verbally direct you toward your gate once the screening has been completed.
