I found this sentence in the article somewhat informative:

A spokesperson for the TSA says agents cannot tell someone to remove a cast in screening but if alarms are repeatedly tripped, they can't clear the passenger to fly.
How often have we heard of screeners requiring passengers to remove boots from injured ankles and then walk through either the WTMD or MMW?
