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 again !
We will be traveling domestically in two weeks so I’m looking for advice and support.
Tissues have been suggested to use as padding - so has the water foam prosthesis - can anyone give me suggestions that have worked for them please. My husband has Alzeimers so my emphasis is on him - I can’t be taken away from him as he will become confused and distressed - thanks so very much 💗

- @Grandma of 7 the government has procedures to cover this. There is an earlier discussion on this site, but see the link https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/what-we-do/travelsecure/travellers-with-specific-needs You need a letter from your doctor, and perhaps in this case it should explain your husband’s condition and that he should accompany you to the private inspection facility also. Good luck.
