Transportation Security Administration (TSA) procedures for conducting security screenings at airports are unnecessarily cumbersome, humiliating, and often dangerous for people with amputations and limb differences.  

Whereas current TSA screening procedures for amputees or people with limb differences:

- are inordinately time-consuming,

- are often conducted by TSA screeners without proper training or sensitivity,

- expose even more radiation to people already exposed to heightened radiation due to their limb condition,

- separate people from their small children or caregivers for inordinate periods of time,

- require people to stand, ambulate, or pose in positions often unsafe for people with limb differences,

- force people to expose prosthetics, residual limbs, and scar tissue in ways that are often unsanitary and humiliating,

- keep people out of sight distance of their personal belongings for an extended period of time (a security risk in that busy environment)...

We hereby call on the TSA to adopt procedures that are less time-consuming, risky, and degrading for people with amputations and limb differences.  

One suggestion would be for disabled travelers to be able to obtain an expedited screening card that would place them in a separate screening lane where they would receive quicker, more private, and more respectful screening by TSA personnel with heightened training in working with people with disabilities and limb differences.

Justice demands that the TSA significantly revise its procedures to make airport screenings for amputees quicker, safer, and more humane.
