This ruling on PSA will be harmful for those that have these dogs for a legitmate illness. Denying access to someone's service dog or requiring documentation above and beyond those with guide dogs or other service dogs is discriminatory. These ESA and PSA are service dogs that do provide a service just as real and legitimate as other types of dogs. Also there is nothing in the regulation that guarentees the airline will be protective of private medical information that is protected under HIPPA law. How will the airlines be required to comply with HIPPA regulations reguarding these PSA's and ESA's? This regulation is putting the airlines at risk of violating someone's medical privacy rights and at risk of law suits and federal action reguarding privacy breaches.
