   Security screening for disabled travelers can require more time than the average traveler. All passengers are legally required to undergo the same level of security checks at Townsville Airport. Please liaise with the security staff on duty about any concerns you may have, including advising them if you have a medical condition that you are concerned may be affected by the screening process (e.g you have a pacemaker). If you are confined to a wheelchair, you should remove any loose items on your possession and place them on the conveyor belt through the X-ray machine and then you simply travel forward through the metal detectors. These metal detector systems are designed to cater for most wheelchairs. If you have artificial joints, and you are able to pass through the security metal detectors without activating it then no additional provisions are required. Townsville airport also has private screening facilities in place for visitors with special needs, should they request this service; or if security staff is required to complete additional screening after the passenger travels through the metal detector. Wheelchairs and prams can be taken through the security screening area. Loose items must be placed on the conveyor belt through the X-ray machine. Physical assistance dogs with an appropriate badge on their harness or coat also walk through the screening area and are not required to remove their harness. Like many aspects of flying with a disability, simply allow a little more time to pass through security.
