TSA Helpline for Travelers with Disabilities

The Transportation Security Administration has launched a brand new helpline service called TSA Cares. Individuals with a disability or medical condition can call TSA Cares to learn more about screening policies, procedures, and what to expect a security checkpoint. This service allows individuals with disabilities and medical conditions to understand how they can prepare for the security at airports and how security can affect their travels. The TSA advises that all calls be made at least 72 hours prior to a flight. To find out more information please visit the following link:
