Your Doctor could hand write you a note on a prescription pad or type a letter for you to carry when you travel. However, the airport screener's do not acknowledge identification cards or letters. You will most likely be taken aside for secondary screening with a wand and then passed through security. This should take 5-15 minutes. <BR/><BR/>I do not know of any patient that has tried to shield their implant.<BR/><BR/>Your question is a good one and I have edited my blog to address your question, which I anticipate others will ask.<BR/><BR/>SDTStefan D.
