DOJ should make it mandatory that Segways are protected as a mobility device WHEN USED BY A PERSON WITH A DISABILITY. The regulatory structure should be something like the service animal rules: Segway+PD equals protected mobility. It would be even possible to allow venues to inquire as to whether a person has a disability. I once tried to take my (then 4) daughter to Disney, and was turned away the night before when I was told that I couldn't go unless I RENTED one of their wheelchairs. I only feel disabled when I'm told that I can't take my Segway into a place of worship, recreation, etc. FYI- I'm an active-duty Army officer and lost a leg in Iraq in 2005. I can stand for indefinite periods, but can't walk well.
