I recently had spinal fusion surgery, and I have titanium rods and screws as well as a batery pack implanted in my back—never to be removed. When going thru an airport, I will surely set off the metal detector. Will I always have to give explanation of my hardware, or is there some kind of paper the doctor gives you? Whats the deal?
Where does one get these “implant” cards? Is this something that the doctor gives out, or is it an airport thing???

Metal dectector people only please.

This is a dumb question. But will the metal used to make a partial denture set off the metal detector at at an airport? I have heard of underwire bras doing that so it made me curious about the dentures?
