I looked back in the forum a bit but didn't see this subject addressed. My daughter and I just returned from a wedding in Florida. Both going and coming back home my hip alarmed going through security. I offered to show security my card but was told that it didn't really matter about carrying a card because the villains are now making cards! Anyway, just curious if anyone else has had this problem. Thanks, Oldbones
 
Hi oldbones, I have heard that the hip replacement card from the surgeon's office doesn't mean much at the airport. I was told to expect to be taken out of the line and scanned with a handheld wand whether or not I had the card. How did they clear you through security? Did you get frisked or just scanned?
I'm traveling in August and would like to know what to expect.

In the airport in St. Louis I was taken to the side and a wand was used. Nor frisking involved. The airport in Tampa, however has this neat little booth they put you in and you assume 2 different positions and it actually takes what looks like an x-ray of your entire skeleton. The security person told me that the booth was state of the art. Word to the wise, if you're travelling with someone have them go through security first so they can retrieve your stuff from the conveyor belt so it's not left unattended while you're being scanned.

After your luggage goes through security, go find one of those burly TSA agents and tell them! They will wand you in a private area! Just remember, you will be doing this for the rest of your life......and be prepared!!! :)!
 
Boy, Jo!!! That glue just ain't what it used to be!!! Tee Hee!!! :)

I don't want no big burly agent wanding my private area! Is that what you meant Judles?

I tell them they can look,,but NOOOO touching,lol.

And yes I travel quite abit,and it is a pain. I ask that they remove my things from the conveyor belt before they give me the terrorist treatment,make sure you have all your things.
And our cards mean nothing,I threw mine away,lol.
 
I thought they could just look at the scar..But yeah I guess people would go to even that extent just to get things thru ...

I'm a flight attendant for United. My THR was 10 weeks ago. I have gone to personel security in odrer to go to the domocile to collect mail, etc. and still have to be scanned, even in uniform. The card means nothing!
 
Yep! They wand the scar area,,,,,not the private parts!!!
Kim! Its one thing to show your knee scar....now hips are a whole different ball game!!! :)

i know thats why I threw mine away, ,hey as long as you work for United ,,,maybe give them a customer request?

Instead of them big burly guys wanding us like Judles likes,,,maybe get some friendly ladies to wand?
Just a thought,,lol
 
Oh yccccch, Mark!! Those women just don't do it for ME!!! I like the strong, silent type in my airport security!!! :)
