Many here have reported similar stories. In fact, if you have a sadistic TSO pointing out a sore spot seems to encourage them to pat it harder than normal, as some of us have also experienced.

Or you may be fine. Who knows anymore? Good luck.

Thanks. The bandage is off, but the pat down could be like scratching and that would be really bad. It has been five years since my surgery and the scar was finally healed enough to get covered with a tattoo! I really like it and want to protect it.

Unfortunately, the TSA could probably care less about protecting my tattoo.
