Over 22 years ago now I managed to survive a prang which made a bit of a mess of my back. The best Orthopod in the Country put it back together, fusing three vertabrae together and supporting it with about 8 ounces of surgical stainless steel screws and rods.
When it came to flying home after being discharged from hospital I approached the security guys and told them of my injury and the fact that I was held together with steel bits.
They waved me through and of course it set off the detector! All they wanted to do was wave the wand over me and inspect the area where it set the wand off. Their only comments were along the lines of `nice scar you have there,` `you`re bloody lucky you`re still walking` etc etc.
Bosnich71; Do not stop until you have recieved a full apology in writing!
underfire; You really are a sad individual!
