Inform the TSA officer that you have a metal implant or medical device. If you have been issued a boarding pass with the TSA PreCheck indicator, you may request Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) screening, if available. Requesting AIT screening through a TSA officer, PRIOR to going through the walkthrough metal detector, may enable you to keep your shoes on throughout the screening process. Individuals with an internal medical device such as a pacemaker should not be screened by a walk-through metal detector. Consult with your physician prior to flying. If you choose not to be screened through the Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT), or a walk-through metal detector (WTMD), you will undergo a pat-down screening.
