NancyJerry 139 Posted June 9, 2012 I flew from Michigan to Minnesota this past week and after my X-ray, they took me aside and the attendant, very professionally and appropriately used her palm to search my abdominal area. Now I know that anyone for any number of reasons can be searched after being scanned but I couldn't help but wonder to what degree do these machines X-Ray you and did they see something "weird" (like most of my stomach missing) or something that prompted the mini search. I was not offended nor am I paranoid; really more curious than anything. Anyone "professional" flyers or work at airports that have a guess, or do you think it truly was just random? If I hadn't had surgery I wouldn't have thought anything of it at all, but now post surgery things make me go... hmmmm?. The best part was that I wasn't anxiety ridden over the idea of someone touching my abdominal area and thinking that oh gosh, they are going to feel all of my fat rolls, since I hardly have any anymore!!

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted June 9, 2012 I'd be more concerned now that they would feel my saggy skin. LOL That is interesting though. I was told at the orientation that the titanium staples wouldn't trigger those devices when traveling. Now I know what to expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been off the forum recently so maybe you changed it a while ago and I never noticed, but it's a great pic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxbins 625 Posted June 9, 2012 That is odd, because there's nothing in your abdomen. The staples are quite high, more under your ribcage. I went through the fancy 360 scanner that shows everything and was asked to pull up my right pants leg. Nothing there but leg! I have no idea what they saw, just something more dense than somewhere else, I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean maybe it was totally random, I just wondered how much they can really see in those high tech scanners! :-O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
