Unfortunately that is no longer an option on new ones.

If you have to warn people not to touch you support animal, your support animal really shouldn't be on an aeroplane where it'll be surrounded by lots of people.

I always though most wore a high vis vest with DO NOT TOUCH WORKING DOG on the animal. There again if you don't read English then its no use.

Agreed, but your constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness comes second to my selfish desires.
One would expect unauthorized petting to result in a bite to the hand, this six year old was bitten in the head.

Agreed. They should never have been permitted to board the later flight either.

‘Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying’ in Seattle’s Greenwood area

Rebecca Morris wanted to know why somebody was flying a Confederate flag in her Greenwood neighborhood. It wasn’t a Confederate flag; it was a Norwegian flag. (Steve Ringman/The Seattle Times)

I wish people wouldn't fly two flags on the same flagpole though. If you want to fly a second national flag, then put up a second flagpole of equal height.

When it is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag - of a state, community, society or Scout unit - the flag of the United States must always be at the top except that the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for Navy personnel when conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea.

So the Confederate Flag should be flown below.

Not sure what your quote is from, but that policy obviously doesn't apply to another national flag! (Especially Norway)

Rationality implies the conformity of one's beliefs with one's reasons to believe, and of one's actions with one's reasons for action. So yes it seems to be rational.
