Augmentation Devices

Travelers with Disabilities and Medical Conditions

Augmentation devices attached to your wheelchair are permitted through the screening checkpoint once they have undergone visual and explosive trace detection (ETD) inspection.  

Our Security Officers should not request that these devices be disconnected for x-ray inspection.  

You or your companion may need to communicate to the Security Officer that this is an augmentation device and not a laptop computer.

If the device alarms the ETD and the Security Officer can't resolve the alarm, the device will not be permitted into the sterile area.
