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

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.

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.

@BenDreamVacations
@BenDreamVacations Месяц назад
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.

I went thru TSA with a catheter strapped to my leg. I brought a doctors letter, but no one even questioned why I had a bag strapped to my leg.

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 9 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.

First, I am so sorry to hear you are battling breast cancer. You can actually opt out of going through the body scanners.
