Steel plate in body - TSA always requires full search
I have a steel plate in my right leg under the skin from an accident several years ago. Every time I go through the security check at the airport the steel bar embedded in my leg sets the machines off and I am pulled out for the full body wanding. Does anyone else have a similar problem or better yet, does anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid this annoyance?
It has never done any good to tell the TSA workers about this ahead of time. The machine beeps or whatever it does when I walk through it and I am pulled aside for the full wanding.
