TSA Experiences

Was in the Caribbean a couple weeks ago. Going through customs on St. Croix as we arrived was a breeze.
As we left, I was in a WC (having just had my knee replaced 7 weeks prior to) going through customs to depart island. I was scanned, had the wand all over me PLUS a patdown over my whole body!! A female agent did the exam. My partner and gate agent who were escorting me through were on other side, laughing so hard at me...my "expression" was funny they say. Of course, I was shaking so hard....BUT NOT due to exam. I was afraid for take off. It was a mini hurricane going on at time of departure. ALL I could see was that huge mountain we had to climb up and over on takeoff! Whew.
My TSA experience was very pleasant. Their job is a difficult one, to say the least! I applaud them.
BTW, the metal prosthetic in my knee...was NO issue at all. I even had my card stating such..they weren't even interested in that at all.
Thank you, TSA!!!
