Has anyone showed the AMS 700 Patient Identification Card to the TSA agents when stopped? Did that help?


If it helps any, I have been patted down several time but on one strip down and that is for at least 100 if not more flights. I am glad they did their job well, don't do it half way and miss something if you know what I mean, Also interestingly the only strip came after I showed my AMS card for the first and only time so far.



Hmmm--that's interesting, I guess they wanted to check it out for themselves, lol

I’ve got global entry and usually get pre check. I don’t always get pre check. The scanner shows something and the agent needs to check. Last time the agent had not heard of an IPP, I explained, still got patted down. Showed the card to the agent, they did not seem to care. Anybody have any input/solutions etc?

Just flew this weekend. TSA pre check and I went thru no problem but it was the standard metal detector not the one with having to put arms up. Maybe that shows everything.

8 different flights since going bionic 13 months ago & I've been "detected" 7 times. Told them I had an implant, patted-down & swabbed. No problems. Judging by what I've seen on the screen, it seems to be the valve?

I went through the scanner yesterday and did not raise any flags at all.

Heading back to prague next week to teach a class. I will be traveling the exact same route and schedule. I wonder if anything changes.

I definitely need that tsa pre check thing.
