TSA Pre-check and artificial leg
Not sure if this forum or the Pre-check one is appropriate (but looked in the pre-check one and zero hits on artificial leg or artificial limb).
I've got a friend who has no pre-check and an artificial leg.
He says that unless he wears shorts, every time he goes through TSA at Albany International (ALB) he has to get the private screening, so he stopped wearing pants (well more accurately wears shorts--haha).
My roomate's father (military veteran) has an artificial leg and will be getting Pre-check (the one you have to pay for), and they are planning a trip on Southwest airlines in Dec. flying to Florida (either Orlando or Fort Myers).
Does having Pre-check make things "easier" with the artificial leg?
There's no way he'll wear shorts, let alone during the winter here in Albany.
The TSA info was a bit vague on this, IMO. Seemed it was completely up to the agent's discretion whether to let you lift your pant leg up or make you remove the limb, etc. behind screening.
