"Flying With Oxygen

"In the aftermath of September 11th, the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT), in conjunction with the National Council on
Disability (NCD), issued a Fact Sheet to encourage the large airlines
and aviation associations to preserve and respect the civil rights of
people with disabilities.while they take steps the ensure new security
requirements....

....Ticketed passengers with their own oxygen for use on the ground
are allowed beyond the screener checkpoints with their oxygen
canisters once the canisters have been thoroughly inspected....."

I wouldn't allow it. I would require that the airlines provide
oxygen for people who needed it. What we are doing is counting on
the fact that someone who appears to need oxygen doesn't have some
nefarious nonsense in mind. All it would take to build a very
effective bomb is to put it inside the oxygen container and then
fill the container with oxygen as expected.

It sounds like the current system is about what I thought it should
be. That doesn't mean that there haven't been instances of undue
difficulty on those using oxygen.
