Disability Travel - Limited Vision and TSA "signage" re WBI

The TSA has stated that the signage allegedly provided at the entrance to WBI machines is sufficient for travelers to give "informed consent" to being virtually strip searched.

At many checkpoints, the signage is either non-existent or so small as to be unreadable to persons with vision problems.

I'd like some suggestions of where to take this issue, the name of an organization dealing with visual disabilities, with the hope a case could be made for requiring the TSA to post signage large enough for vision disabled travelers to read. Doing so would thereby make said signage large enough for ALL travelers to read.

TIA

The most affective organization having to do with the rights of blind people is the National Federation of the Blind. Contact them for ideas of what to do with this issue. They may have something going already.

Here are the ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities, Signage (http://www.access-board.gov/adaag/html/adaag.htm#4.30).

Thank you. I could not for the life of me recall the name "National Federation for the Blind."

Katja, it could be that the TSA is exempt from having to provide signage but I have to look into that further.

doober, it is 'of the Blind' not 'for the blind'. It is the blind speaking for themselves. The NFB has been fighting the airlines and the TSA for a very long time.

Oldpenny16, thanks for setting me straight on that. Can you point me to anything specific in their fight with the TSA as I couldn't find anything on the website.
