Still need the URL for the paragraph you posted....can't find it so
far...

"Fact Sheet (excerpts)
Steps Taken to Ensure New Security Requirements
Preserve and Respect the Civil Rights of People with Disabilities
The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) and the Department of
Transportation’s implementing rules prohibit discriminatory
treatment of persons with disabilities in air transportation. Since
the terrorist hijackings and tragic events of September 11, the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued
directives to strengthen security measures at airline checkpoints
and passenger screening locations. In securing our national air
transportation system, where much of FAA’s efforts have been
directed to date, steps were also taken to ensure that the new
security procedures preserve and respect the civil rights of
passengers with disabilities. This Fact Sheet provides
information about the accessibility requirements in air travel in
light of strengthened security measures by providing a few
examples of the types of accommodations and services that
must be provided to passengers with disabilities.
The examples listed below are not all-inclusive and are simply
meant to provide answers to frequently asked questions since
September 11 concerning the air travel of people with
disabilities.
• The limit of one carry-on bag and one personal bag (e.g.,
purse or briefcase) for each traveler does not apply to medical
supplies and/or assistive devices. Passengers with disabilities
generally may carry medical equipment, medications, and
assistive devices on board the aircraft"
