Tighter airport security requirements can make traveling a bit more frustrating. But imagine being stopped when you set off the alarmsand having no clue as to why its happening!
You should know that some diagnostic testssuch as heart, bone or thyroid scansuse radioactive material that can leave traces of radioactivity in your body for up to two months. And this radioactive matter can trigger the airport sensors!
Be sure to ask your doctor for a note after youve had any test that uses radioactive material. It can help you avoid trip delays and embarrassing strip searches!
