A man who flew to Florida for a holiday with his family and friends had a nasty shock at Orlando airport. He triggered an alarm, was taken aside, strip-searched and checked by sniffer dogs while his companions watched in horror.
After extensive questioning, when he realised the security guards suspected him of carrying a radioactive bomb, the 46-year-old man remembered his medical treatment for an overactive thyroid gland six weeks earlier.

If Card Medical Your Travel
Is all this really making us safer, and is it really necessary? We didn't have a bomb smuggled on a plane, they Hi-jacked it with box cutters. This person didn't have to go through this humiliation. But it brings up a good question, shouldn't anyone with any extenuating circumstances carry a medical card or something to tell others that he has a condition? My friend at work has zitis inverses, which means his internal organ structure is reversed. So his heart is slightly to the right as opposed to the left. He wears a medical braclet that lets everyone know in case of a situation.
