Mary wrote--Am I better off having my 7yr-old son put his prosthetic leg thru xray? Last year we had the whole explosive material screening both ways, so aggravating. Per TSA website: "Regardless of whether a passenger is screened by a metal detector, imaging technology, or a thorough patdown, a prosthetic is subject to additional screening. ...TSA also will use technology to test the prosthetic for traces of explosive material. If explosive material is detected, the passenger will have to undergo additional screening. If a passenger voluntarily removes his or her prosthetic during screening, it will be screened by X-ray."
