I don`t know what airports you go through , but I always get the male TSA guys . I have two hip replacements . One was a year ago this October and the other was 2 years ago ... both doing fine . I told the Doc do whatever he had to do to allow me to use the clutch on my 427 Galaxie ( also , no power brakes ) and upcoming ERA big block.
I was lucky as my Doctor says zero restrictions with his procedure ... and so far , I haven`t found anything I could do before that I can`t do now .... including running and weight training.
Lineslinger .... I know a man in Portland , Maine who runs 50 miles a week on his hip replacement ... anything is possible .
