Sunflower lanyards 🌻
I wonder if this lanyard will make a difference to my security experience at the airport today Crohn's & Colitis Australia ?
I finally ordered one to see if it’ll help smooth the usual security rigmarole when my ileostomy bag is flagged on the body scanner.
Most security personnel are patient and respectful and know what a stoma bag is - we go through the standard process of swabbing my hands for explosives after I’ve run my hands over my clothes, and then I’m on my way.
BUT that’s not always the case!!! I’ve had some bad experiences, unfortunately …
Remember : you do NOT have to show your bag in public!! If you need to be searched it must be done in a private room with 2 personnel of the same s*x as you (in Australia, anyway).
Tell me about your airport security experiences in the comments ⬇️
