I work as an international flight attendant and have two total knee replacements. I have to have a pat down every time I go through a screening unless it is one of the newer screeners where you just hold your arms above your head.The international screeners across the world are used to it so just inform them of your knee situation before going through.

At my 6 wk. post op. the surgeon told me I do not need any
paperwork or special clearance when I go through security.
His wife has two bionic hips and she receives no special
attention. Now a pacemaker...

Hello all - since placing this question in the forum I have traveled within the US with no problem regarding knee replacement. Once I did have pat down, but that didn't take too long. I guess I was more concerned about being 1 of 60 people in the tour group and getting separated for a pat down, but as long as I'm within eyesight of everyone I can handle it. Thank you all....I will post my experience when I return Adieu
