Day 75 Airport Metal Detectors

Before 9-11 airport scanners did not start to bleep when I went through with my first artificial knee.

But since 2001 they seem to be more finely tuned and, in America especially, can cause a lot of hassle.

You'd have to stand in a spreadeagled position and be physically patted down.

Nowadays they have full body scans, which show up ones wobbly bits, but are perhaps less invasive than the old method.

And they could even have an advantage..

Nowadays one is issued with a special Medical ID pass to save being thought of as a terrorist !!
