Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Does anyone have any recent experience with flying with a TENS unit? I'm going to be traveling later this month for the first time since my back surgery, and since sitting on the plane is going to cause a lot of pain, I wondered if there was any chance of getting through security wearing one? Has anyone had any difficulty carrying it on in your luggage? Thanks! Cheryl in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hi Cheryl, Not worn my TENS machine on the aircraft, but had no problem in getting it through security. I always take it in my hand luggage although I do take the battery out and keep it separate. I also tell them before they check the bag that I have a TENS machine in my hand luggage. Can you get a doctors letter saying you need it? - that might help if you have problems. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
