Monkey Helpers

* When a service monkey is being transported in a carrier, the monkey must be removed from the carrier by the handler prior to screening,

* The service monkey must be controlled by the handler throughout the screening process.

* The service monkey handler should carry the monkey through the walk through metal detector while the monkey remains on a leash.

* When the handler and service monkey go through the walk through metal detector and the detector alarms, both the handler and the monkey must undergo additional screening.

* Since service monkeys may likely draw attention, the handler will be escorted to the physical inspection area where a table is available for the monkey to sit on. Only the handler will touch or interact with the service monkey.

* Security Officers have been trained to not touch the service monkey during the screening process.

* Security Officers will conduct a visual inspection on the service monkey and will coach the handler on how to hold the monkey during the visual inspection.

* The inspection process may require that the handler to take off the monkey’s diaper as part of the visual inspection.
