      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???? 😞

    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!

    Hi, I have a couple of dressing bandages on my back covering small wounds which are still healing. Can I pass through the security without any hassle?

    • @BenDreamVacations
      @BenDreamVacations  25 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      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. Going through the checkpoint, the x-ray Cleary showed my catheter strapped to my leg. No one tried to do extra screening, and just in case, I did have a doctors letter

      A doctor's note is not required but it helps if you have one. You will be able to get through security just fine. It just may require some additional screening if you are not able to remove the iwalk. Have a great first flight!

    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.

      First, I am so sorry to hear you are battling breast cancer. You can actually opt out of going through the body scanners. You just have to say that you opt out but just know that doing so will require a full body pat down from a TSA agent. I hope cancer treatments are going well for you. Keep fighting!
