What do I need to know about getting him thru security? I'm not going to have to remove his shoes am I? I'm pretty darn sure they're not profile.
Any tips are much appreciated.
Thanks,

Congratulations Superguy!!!! Unfortunately in this horrible world, babies do have to be screened, but only if the person holding them alarms. We (philly screeners) like to just pat the baby down. Wanding them is kind of ridiculous, but a pat down is only needed if the person carrying the baby alarms. If the person does alarm, we do the baby first and suggest that the other parent, or someone traveling with the baby, take the baby from the person that alarmed. If the parent is traveling alone, we ask them to put the baby in the infant seat or stroller after the pat down and then proceed to screen the parent. Hope I helped you. Take care.
