I travel with an assistance dog (service dog under the ADA) for my disabilities. I would like to have the relief stations for these animals accessible without having to go outside of the security area. When I am traveling across the country, it is difficult enough to get to my connecting flights without having to rush outside of the secured area to relieve my service dog and then rush back in. Due to the lack of feasible accommodations, I have limited my travel to emergency situations only, rather than more business and pleasure trips. It is unreasonable to expect disabled individuals to run to an isolated relieve station in order to accommodate their service dogs and then go back through security in a reasonable amount of time.
