I traveled in and out of Seattle with no problems with my wood cane. They automatically gave me a loaner to go through the scanner, while mine went through the Xray with all my other stuff. My wife was somewhat concerned when they pulled out the little cloth wipes to check the "boot" on my broken ankle. They wiped it and my hands down, while explaining that that is normal for any cast or substantial covering of a body part. I offered to take it off but they assured me it wasn't necessary. When my wife asked what they were checking for and they said "explosives" my wife asked me (quietly) were you reloading anything before we left home this morning?
