Fun with the TSA
On my return from San Francisco I was wearing my knee braces. Apparently neoprene knee braces (with no metal components) are too much for their new high tech scanners and gain one a pat down. My peeve is not that I get a pat down. What annoys me is that I could have taken then off and saved everyone time - if they had bothered to mention it somewhere.
BTW, I am aware that the TSA has, after a number of episodes of dimwitted dumf*ckery on their part, become sensitive to the notion that people might not want to remove medical devices in a security line. That's certainly an improvement over their prior behavior.
Lesson learned - put the knee braces in the bin to be scanned.
