I haven't needed pads since the new scanners have been in place but I can't imagine that it would show up on the scan. Also, the scan is only looked at on a monitor in a different room, not there at the scanner where people are.

The bigger issue might be the more 'intimate' pat-downs. :)

Has anyone had any experience going through the new TSA full body scans while wearing incontinence pads, shields, briefs, etc.?

I am a recent neobladder recipient who is going back to work soon, and my job involves regular air travel. Since I still need to wear some type of protection during the day, the thought of going through the new TSA Full Body Scans bothers me more than anything else. The Kimberly Clark (Depends) customer service people tell me that because these garments are made of "paper", they will not be detectible or "Seen" by the scanner.

Any personal experience out there?

Thanks,

Drew
