What was the screws made of in 1970s for people with hip diysplasia?
Will I get through airport security with screws in both my hip from hip dysplasia and also pins in my legs. I heard the new screws that are used now do get through security but what was the old ones made of exactly. Titanium, metal, ect.
I have a knee replacement and screws in my shoulder - and a few other oddities implanted, like a lens in my eye. They wand me - I'm fine. Actually, getting into Madison Square Garden yesterday had more security and inspection than most planes I fly on. The airport scans are looking for oddities that are shaped like something illegal - a gun, for example, or something carrying drugs. Your doctor can tell you what materials were used in your surgeries - it is in his surgical notes.
Nothing to worry about.
Most airport no longer use metal detectors for screening people. They use whole body scanners. Those machines DO NOT detect metal, and they DO NOT see anything below the skin.
Even if you go through a metal detector, it is quite possible that nothing will happen. People have to go through those machines with significant metal in glasses, rings, zippers, buttons and so on.
- Booking plane tickets for multiple people? So me and 2 of my best friends are going on a trip in December, and I was wondering if we should all buy our tickets separately or if we should give one person our money and they buy it for all of us. We plan on taking Alaska airline and I don't know if we can still get the same seats if we all buy our tickets separately
- How can I ticket my booking (that I made on the phone) on Emirates Airlines? I've searched everywhere and though I having a booking number, there's nowhere where I can confirm I want to purchase the ticket.
- How is it that people manage to sneak onto airport flights? From my understanding, you can't make it past security, without a ticket, nor a boarding pass, but even if they didn't have a luggage, it would still be impossible, I imagine.
- Will people stop flying southwest airlines from vegas to lax or lax to sfo due to engine failure? Will southwest airlines go bankrupt because people say first united drags people off of planes now southwest airlines is killing people because a woman died on southwest flight I don't think it is the airlines fault the pilots did great they were navy air force pilots Is southwest airlines not good and safe anymore due to engine failure and a passenger who died Is this is like a fatal crash that hasn't happened in awhile
