They had our friend go through the WTMD first and wait on the other side; then we took one cat out of the carrier at a time, the carrier was x-rayed by one agent with the other agent watching to make sure that only the the cat went back in to its original carrier. Since the room was quiet, the cats didn't make much of a fuss. Once they were done, the cats were brought out to our friend, and then we went through the WTMDs.[/I]
Kudos to all those involved for coming up w/a common sense solution that met the needs of everyone, especially the stressed out furpeople.
