Iraq War vet kicked off bus over service dog

It's illegal under the Americans with Disabilities Act for public transit systems to remove a passenger because they use a service dog. Service dogs for the disabled must be allowed even where dogs are otherwise prohibited.

But transit officials in Miami apparently think laws are just "damn pieces of paper" (as Bush might say). Accordingly, they kicked an Iraq War vet off the bus system because he uses a service dog.

The transit system's excuse was that the man does not have a "visible" disability.

Seriously? Transit officials actually think the ADA makes such a distinction between "visible" and "invisible" conditions in regards to service dogs?

Ignorance in high places bodes ill for any society.
