In response to your comment to tophcfa, initially, you said that the FDA law was "absurd," but I don't really think you meant that. What I read into what you said was that the law has no teeth and needed to be changed and I agree.

I have always thought the dogs should have a government-issued tag that could be attached to a leash for visible proof the dog is indeed qualified to go anywhere. Then no questions are necessary. And if the dog did not bare that tag, the owner should be fined with stiffer penalties for each offense. Seeing eye dogs automatically qualify. They are always visible.

Frankly, I have no time for the scofflaws who continue to pretend their dog qualifies as a service animal, making it questionable for those for whom the law is a necessity.
