The Amputee Coalition of America survey found:

• TSA agents are often confused about how to manage screening prosthetic arms and legs.

• Amputees are often denied the ability to have their caregivers accompany them into screening rooms.

• Amputees report being screened by TSA agents not of the same gender.

• 75 percent of respondents said they were unsatisfied with their most recent TSA experience.

• 50 percent said they were required to lift or raise their clothing during a procedure called “explosive trace sampling” with no explanation given by TSA personnel.

• More than half of the amputees who responded indicated TSA personnel exhibited a lack of training relative to disability populations – namely, amputees.
