Up until this week I've not come across any security scanners. I used to travel a lot for work, pre-PM but since I've retired (just cause I could, nothing to do with PM) I've been able to avoid the hassles of airline travel.
Monday I had jury duty and when I went to the court building it looked like airport security. So being a bit rusty in the drill I put my bag in the tray and proceeded to walk through the scanner. BEEP. I told them I had a PM and that could be the cause, but forgot I didn't take the coins out of my pocket. So went back emptied pockets. The security guy held up a wand and asked if I wanted to do it that way, but I said no this was an experiment to see what if anything happens with my PM. He got a funny look on his face. Probably trying to remember his medical call numbers and training. LOL Any way I walked back through, no beeps, no problems. Security guard looked relieved.
So now I know that if I ever do fly anywhere again, I'll just truck on through the scanner.
Just thought I'd share this experience, especially for any newbies with anxious thoughts about their PM.

My pacemaker was installed in 1998 and I have not felt better. The mental part is the toughest.

'cause I didn't pay attention & thought I was going thru the new scanner. So lots of beeps & turns out it wasn't my PM but my new metal knees that squealed on me:-)
