Danger/Tcal.net once again…(drum roll)…on what is likely to happen if you want to bring your working monkey into America. It’s not obvious what the procedure is if you want to bring one’s working monkey on a holiday to America?

# Since 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 monkey.
# TSOs have been trained to not touch the monkey during the screening process.

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