  • Screeners will need to see and touch your prosthetic device, cast, or body brace as part of the screening process.
  • You have the option of requesting a private screening at any time during the screening of your prosthetic device, cast, or body brace.
  • A screening supervisor will need to check the relevant medical documents and conduct screening of your prosthetic device, cast or Body brace by visual examination or through some other  prescribed method.
  • The screening supervisor should offer you a private screening if clothing will need to be lifted or removed.
  • You have the right to refuse the offer of a private screening; however, you’ll need to allow the screening to be conducted publicly if you wish to proceed beyond the security checkpoint.
  • You may have a companion or family member accompany you into the private screening area (once he or she has been screened) and remain throughout the screening process.
  • BCAS will make every effort to have two screeners of the same gender as the passenger being screened present during the private screening.
  • Please notify screeners if you need assistance during the screening process such as a hand, arm, or shoulder to lean upon, or a chair in which to sit.

Once the screening supervisor has determined that you do not represent a security risk, he or she will allow you to proceed through the checkpoint into the sterile area.
