Tuesday Checkup: navigating the airport

Catching a plane these days is a cumbersome process: removing shoes, separating liquids, taking off belts all while lugging a couple of bags. But for people who have physical disabilities just the thought of navigating the process is enough for many to say no thanks, I'll stay home.
