There is a link to the TSA page on post # 15 of the disABILITIES FAQs thread.For going through US airport security, check out the TSA's site - under the disability section there is a page with info. about going through security with an SD. (There are also pages for going through with other medical devices, such as wheelchairs, implants, etc.) I find it easiest to send my dog through the metal detector first and then walk through myself after it has cleared from her setting it off (her mobility harness has too much metal). Some people find it easiest to walk themselves through first and then call their dog to them, though, so practice going through doorways at home to see what works best for you.
You may also want to check with your dog's vet for any recommendations. Since you are coming from Europe, you have a much longer distance to travel than people traveling within the US.
I don't have time to look, but I thought someone (Ms. Butterfly, maybe) posted a link earlier in this thread to an international service dog organization. Even though the place your dog is from didn't have experience with overseas travel, someone in the international organization is likely to have had it.
