I consider myself in the group what never plan to board a commercial airliner again.

Its been a while, but I can only imagine the hassle of trying to get me through the screening process with my defib/pacemaker combo unit. Yes, I do have a card from the doctor that implanted the first, second and third units. It is really tough to get your batteries changed.

I will never go through one of their machines. I am afraid any/some/all 'rays' might have some impact on the progamming, which is extensive. When something goes out of 'whack', I get a beeping alarm similar to the backing alarm on many vehicles. Sure sounds funny coming out of your chest. This usually indicates an office visit for reprogramming of adjustment. To only read out the data, I can connect to a land line and send the information remotely.

Usually I overly careful around electricity. Made a small error a few weeks ago and came in brief contact with an inproperly grounded RV. Just a small and usually harmless amount of electricity required a visit. I don't plan to take any chances if I can help it.
