Unbelievable US security request
I don't like to comment on security measures but the following is absolutely unbelievable. An acquaintance of mine had to travel a few months back from Australia to the US and the UK. He has a Taylor Spatial Frame fitted to one leg so travelled Business Class and First Class. At the first class check in counter in Boston he was actually asked to remove the frame from his leg!
I have one of these dreadful frames currently attached to my left leg, there are a multitude of rods screwed directly into rebroken bones with wire through your leg and you physically have to move the bones so many mm's every day. I cannot believe that he was asked to remove the frame. It is blatantly obvious to anyone that there are rods on the frame going "into" your leg! How the hell can anyone make a request like that? My friend was traveling with all necessary documentation and his companion was a surgeon.
