Hips and airport security

Thanks for all your replies they've reassured me. Now how do I stop him going beep, beep, beep!

With two hips and a pinned ankle I send the machine,into hysterics!
I use disabled transport and they just 'wand' me! ( wish the wand was magic and would take eithe 20lbs or 20 years off me. Don't really care which)

I don't have artificial hips but somehow always get picked up to be screened and patted down.

Yes you will set off the scanners Tippy22 I do every time but I always go red with a guilty face . Just warn them you have implants and they will ask you to step to one side and usually a lady will hand wand you down and may pat down your hips just to check. They are very used to it.
Have a good holiday.

They are well used to it by now as so many of us have metal inserted around our bodies. Mine is in ankle and knee.

Not hips but I have a titanium pin and screws in my tibia. It's set off the alarms occasionally but all that happens is that they pat you down and maybe use a handheld scanner. It's no big deal. Enjoy your holiday!

Just warn a member of staff before you step through the security area.
