TSA and PM at Airports

I have flown six plane trips since my PM iwas nstalled and I always show my card and ask for a hand search. Every time I have been treated with dignity and respect at several different airports in the US. I also have a total knee replacement so that would set off the alarms, too.

I had just read the News Article about this and thought I'd share my experiences with you.

I found this site last week and it is so informative.

Thanks for taking me in.

Have a great Weekend and God Bless You All!

First of all, Welcome!!!!!!!!!!! This is a wonderful site.

To tell you my experience at airports, it has all been positive. I just tell them when I get to the screener that I have a PM and need to be patted down.

They usually get a woman for me, as I am a woman and they will get a man for a man. She puts on rubber gloves and does the pat down very discreetly and with the greatest respect. I have always been treated very well and the biggest problem is the fact that you may have to wait several minutes at security until they can free someone up to come and do the pat down.

Hope this helps and welcome!

Take care,
