Understood. As I said, I haven't flown in a long time. The last time I can recall was down to Florida and back about five years ago.

Interestingly, I was flying out of Washington National in the 80's when I had difficulty getting by security. The nails in the heels of my Florsheim Imperials set the alarm off. Now I have a knee replacement - Guess that will put me in line for a full body search now.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I’m about the write racially sensitive stuff, if you’re offended, don’t read on!

Twelve years ago, I had a knee replacement. A while later, I bought a ticket and went through San Jose, CA metal checkpoint. I thought I had nothing to worry about because the knee replaement manufacturer gave me a card to show to the scanners.
HOWEVER, the card was written in English and the scanners didn’t read or speak much English. I set off the alarms, tried to show my card to someone, including a supervisor who also didn’t speak English.

Fortunately those in line were patient. And one called over a San Jose Police Officer who read my card and waved me on through.

Moral of the Story: Well, there’s isn’t one. Everything is FUBAR!
