Do you have a question? You already know you will set the alarms off. But I doubt they will shoot you on the spot.
So what is theproblem
do you not think that security have encountered these problems before and know how to pass a genuine case
just give your self plenty of time to get through the security checks
1. There's no question here.
2. If you are asking about what you are supposed to do, you tell TSA (or whoever it is because you don't mention what country you are flying out of). They will screen you another way.
And you think you're the first person they've ever seen with these things? Tell them about the knee brace. They can see the walking stick with their own eyes.
Yes, and so?
You TELL the security officer about your knee brace. You SHOW them your walking stick.
There will be no problem. Just allow a few extra minutes.
You have issues.
Airport security has seen these items before.
You INFORM the Agent. They in turn will do what they do for the situation.
You DO NOT NEED TO KNOW exactly what they MIGHT do.
The bad guys want too know and I have no intention on elaborating on the exact sequence of events for every possible additional security thing that may be done as deemed necessary by the Agent on scene.
You could bring some sort of note from your doctor indicating your knee things.
The walking stick can be examined and refused boarding if they suspect something.
This is not rare and something Agents deal with every week in the normal performance of passenger screening.
You just DO AS INSTRUCTED and they will do what they do.
Enjoy your flight. If this surgery/medical condition was recent suggest you verify with your doctor your suitability to fly for the intended flight.
I will stop you, ex marine
Been there, done that. They just scanned the brace (mine was actually an ankle-to-hip immobilizer). They could ask you to remove it.
Is this a statement or a question. If it is a question then my answer is… Carry your x-rays with you.
Tell the TSA, that your brace has metal in it, also tell them you need yor cane to walk
- Is wearing pjs to the airport weird? I got a flight that is at 12 am, and I have this pj set of flannel bottoms and a t shirt. Would it be weird to wear this at the airport?
- Asthma suffers do you have any problems taking your inhalers through Airport security? I'm off to Canada tomorrow from Heathrow and I have packed two inhalers in my hand luggage, they are in a clear re-sealable bag, I don't have the original box or prescription. Should this cause any issues? Has anyone else had any issues getting inhalers through Airport security?
- Can I smuggle my wax pen or dab pen (weed) without tsa noticing at the airport? I'm also under 18 so would cause problems aswell? I'm flying to Philadelphia from Los Angeles and I was wondering if its possible if I can smuggle my wax pen (weed) without tsa noticing. I'm also under 18 would that cause problems aswell?
- Having had knee replacements I always get wanded at airports. If I have a global entry card, can I avoid this? I have a passport and global entry card, but still had bad experience at Chicago O'hare airport, having to be wanded and hand searched, very embarrassing for 80 year old woman. Should the global entry card have avoided this humiliation?
