What questions can I help answer?

@thomas1699 27 дней назад

Isn't there a better, more efficient, more customer friendly way of accomplishing the security check for customers with medical implants? I got a heart recorder, therefore I can expect to be treated like a criminal, just to go through airport security???? 😞

Years ago when TSA first started screening people,---as I have plates in my back due to surgery, they wanted me to take them out & put them on the conveyor belt for scanning! I told them: " I would if I could as they are a part of me!" I even had a doctor's document stating my condition. They laughed and said "Ok, but we'll scan you anyway ." I still get a chuckle when I think about it. 😅

I have a heart recorder. (Not a pace-maker) I got the full pat down (after a long wait) because my Doctor said I should not go through any scanners. I don't know what they are looking for, but this is a crappy way to treat "customers" with medical implants.

I usually wear ponte knit pants when flying because they're comfortable and look nice at the same time, and they usually cause no issue at security. On my last trip, I unfortunately chose a pair with ribbons going down the ankles through metal loops. Both legs of the trip, I was subjected to a patdown specifically because of those pants. I definitely know better now!

@BenDreamVacations Месяц назад

Yeah, those metal loops will trigger a pat down for sure but now you know.

@majorlagg9321 Месяц назад

I was a police officer at a checkpoint. Some clown tried to be funny and take everything off except for his briefs. He went through security but was then held so the airline can check with their GSC and the captain to see if they wanted him flying, He was able to make his flight barely but it dawned on him how stupid that stunt was.

@BenDreamVacations 19 дней назад

A doctor's note is not required for any of the items that you mentioned. You just need to inform the TSA officer that you have these items before you get screened. A nebulizer would not count as a second personal item so you are good there.

You will just need to let the security officers know that you have the dressing bandages before you enter the body scanner. That way they know what it is when it shows up on the imaging screen. Other than that you should be able to go through the security process normally without any issues.

@catherinemoran7652 18 дней назад

I think a lot depends on the setting they have the machines set on. I have double knee replacements & tell them before going through security. Depending on the airport sometimes they go off other times not.

@rupe53 18 дней назад

@@catherinemoran7652 Also depends on the experience of the operator and what else they notice about a given passenger. Scanners will always show a replacement joint. (and where it is) Metal detectors just make noise, and they have to do a manual scan to verify the location.

I’m sorry, but I’m not into wearing pyjamas and flip flops or slippers through the airport. After watching your suggestions, that seems to be the only thing that’s left. Some of us prefer to wear decent clothes on our travels and, if airport security personnel really cannot get decent screening equipment then they’re going to have to put up with the ladies and gentlemen left in travel who will need more time to pass through their inefficient security procedures-both to take off and put on real and decent travel clothing rather than sleep or sportswear! I’m sorry, but your video is unhelpful and encourages a continued downward spiral in what is a decent and honourable standard for passengers on public transport.

@BenDreamVacations 6 дней назад

I get where you are coming from and I agree with you. I don’t advocate wearing pajamas or flip flops through the airport and I don’t believe I mentioned that you should wear those items either. Like you, I prefer to be more dressed up than the average person and that’s why at the end of the video I do advocate getting tsa precheck to avoid having to take off any item of clothing and to make going through security a whole lot easier. Sorry you found the video unhelpful but I know others have benefited from the video.

@bt4jc 5 дней назад

Thanks very much for your gracious reply. Yes, I did not hear you say pyjamas and flip flops. However, listening to you, I felt it was my only option and I have been sickened by the slovenly way people are beginning to travel nowadays. Sadly too, TSA clear is only available to Americans and the security clearance I had in mind was also international and I travel mostly and a lot overseas where Clear is not an option for Americans.
