I don’t go through any metal detectors,like going to court in Wa.State,i told them to wand me since I have a pace maker with a Defibular in it,so I walk around it and get the wand search just don’t want it jerked out of my chest! I have never been denied the walk around wand
I have to do the same. Multiple crushed vertebrae and I could not even begin to describe how many surgeries on my back I have had, since my injury in 2005. I have an implant in my back. I always carry my information with me, about not being able to go through.
Sucks, because sometimes the “Security” get pissed. Fortunately, there is usually a law enforcement officer around at the type of things I go to.
I have had no problems so far,i tell them and i walk to the side and they wand me
I also have a card in my wallet to show the medical what type i have,never had to show it though,just out line it with my shirt
I always set off alarm detectors, OH SORRY it’s my STEELTOE SHOES! 
so do I but its the hunk of metal that I need for mobility (wheelchair)
