Greetings!
It has been a long time (almost 30 years) since I flew commercially, and I didn't have to deal with the TSA or a lot of the current issues. However, it looks like I will be flying to Indianapolis this summer in order to work the NRA National Matches, and as such, I now have a mess of questions.
Body concerns: I have had my implant card since the orthopedic surgeon had to add some parts, but I was wondering, will I have any issues getting through the checkpoints with my knee brace?
Luggage concerns. I really don't plan on traveling with any firearms, so that reduces that concern. However, because of the batteries, can I expect to have any issues with my tablet, cell phone, or laptop if taken on board as either carry-on luggage or checked luggage? I also know that I can't board with my traditional pocket knife, but would I be able to include it in my checked luggage? My medications will be packed in their original bottles within my checked luggage.
Concerning the luggage, if I use the factory installed locks that are on the luggage, can I expect any problems with the TSA?
Sorry for the questions, but I last flew circa 1992, and the world has changed!
As always, thanks in advance for your help!
