After 2004 those cards for metal implants were not to be allowed at airports due to their being easy to duplicate and that it's hard to clarify that the information on them is correct. Your personal doctor with your chart on hand is not available 24/7, those were the arguments of the TSA and it was agreed upon by the whitehouse and airlines.

I will see about a card, I will ask in April when I see my doctor for my MMI appointment. But he's not the one who did my jaw surgery nor my breast implants. Our local airport might be a bit of a pain, just regular scanners but major airports like Ohara or JFK will have the updated full body scanners which I will go thru and they will show what I have, any idiot should be able to tell the difference between a TKR, breast implant and a bomb, one would think. But do they pay those idiots enough?

I have been thru the full body scanner at Denver Airport last Dec without any issue. My titanium cage covers T11,T12 and L1 with a titanium plate and 6 titanium screws.
I guess I have been LUCKY. As far as I know, I have never set off any metal detectors/scanners.

I had problems at Wichita, Denver, Arizona, and Las Vegas.

I will be seeing a surgeon soon on the right knee, will get his intake on this.

Well, It never stops. Have a wonderful night.

I believe your right Jayne, she wouldnt have any reason to lie about it anyway.... It just boiled down to his belief and his big ego, has to do with the demons in his head causing anger issues which in return makes him feel better to think he knows all.. I mean heck, I know everything.....Just ask my wife.........

ahhhhhhhh she lets you believe that does she?
