I set off detectors all the time and some of the anti theft alarms too.....

have fun with the metal detectors...wrap a large cucumber in aluminum foil and stuff it in your pants like they did in that 'spinal tap' movie!!

ehh i thought i had issues with them giving me grief over my diabetic lancelets saying they were a possible offensive weapon

LOL really? they really told you that? Rofl, that has to be the lameist one yet. How do they train these people?
That one beats the guy whose car key folded into the car remote so when he put it on the plate and it opened he had to leave his car key at the gate cause it was a "switchblade" type device. Of course, he was on his way home so when he landed he had no way to drive his car home. True story from Car and Driver.

yes they did had me open several of them to show that they did not get any longer this was at Chicago right at the same time that stupid fool tried to carry explosives on a plane in his boot they xrayed my boots 6 times and took them apart to check the insides then gave me grief over the face i wasent wearing a medic alert bracelet since im diabetic

i pulled out my genuine medic alert STAINLESS STEEL NECKLACE and said im not into advertising the fact OKAY!?

morons GAH!

Jeeze!!! Next time, point out to them that under the Americans With Disabilities Act that they are legally required to make a reasonable accommodation, and can be personally sued as individuals if they fail to do so... The law is a lot like magic; it you recite the appropriate incantation correctly, you can ward off enemies and make all sorts of things happen!

ehh i was late (due to them) getting to my flight they had to reopen the doors to let me on i was just glad to get gone

Take care, and have a safe trip...

You have a what in your heart?

A steel replacement heart valve. Unfortunately, it is a common enough problem that a lot of people are living with replacement valves. Often a pig valve is used but for some people who are just extra special, the replacement has to be an artificial device. Karno has one of the artificial ones made from stainless steel so he ticks. If you ever see him in person, listen for it if the conversation slows down. Great at parties. :)
Oh and the other wires are to make sure his breastbone has the strength to stay in one piece after the surgeons had to split it in twain. Bwhahaahahahaah. Great stuff, medicine.

The pig valves are generally implanted in older people because both they and the people have a relatively short life expectancy. In the US, carbon valves are used in younger people; they are lower in mass (but higher in cost) than stainless steel and hence open and close a bit more promptly, but they click, too.

at least try to enjoy it

have fun hun -pases the lube just in case-
