Traveling with prosthesis
Hello everyone - I recently went to Perth airport to see some friends off. I went through the Virgin security and was unceremoniously patted down in public ! I don’t EVER want to go through that agai...
@"Grandma of 7" I believe if you go through the old walk through style scanners you are fine but if it is the newer body scanners then they tend to pick them up. In saying that I flew domestic recently and went through a body scanner machine and it didn't get picked up but a month ago flying internationally it did get picked up and I didn't have the best experience. I asked out right not to be touched in public and if they wanted to see anything or feel anything they were to take me somewhere private. It is quite a lot to deal with and I am sorry to hear you have already had a nasty experience. As if we don't already have enough to deal with. Hopefully your upcoming travels are a better experience for you.
