Ooo, ooo, can I play?

How about we have people take out their pacemakers, too. A minute or two without a perfusing pulse won't matter much, right? Or how about removing those pesky VP shunts, urinary catheters, med ports, G-tubes and bone growth stimulators. After all, people can just slide 'em right back in after Xray scanning, can't they?

Sterility is highly overrated, and we have to think of the children, you know.

I'm sure I can think of a few more devices that should be yanked prior to TSA screening, 'specially if I can look it up on webmd.com.

This type of willful ignorance just never ceases to amaze me.

I guess this is what happens when people watch one too many episodes of House MD and then think they graduated from medical school.
