just curious to know what the TSA does with people who have colostomy bags??? Do they tell the person they can't bring the bag on the plane?

I have two friends with similar problems: one has a couple of foot-long steel rods holding her spine together, the other has a pacemaker at the age of 24.

Both carry a letter from their doctor, in the former case a small copy of an X-ray showing the placements of the steel rods, both ask to be searched by hand and both know and accept that they may have to strenuously prove that their medical conditions are legitimate.

A colostomy bag would probably be similar, though much less pretty.
