Scanners will display prosthetics and identify transgender travellers. This article is based out of Australia and I’m unsure where these more detailed scanners will be placed, but this is something to be aware of. It appears if you have implants, those won’t be detectable, but if you are wearing packers or breast prosthetics, those will be seen and can lead to further pat downs.
The National Center for Transgender Equality has a guide for transgender individuals traveling by air for those that are worried. I can say that I fly on average two times per month and have not run into any problems with my implants thus far.
I’m afraid to wear a packer through the scanners so I can’t share any experiences about that.
The one time I had a problem was when I went through the scanners with my post surgical binder right after my surgery. There was apparently metal wiring in the post-op binder.
I’ve been on MANY planes since my surgery and before and never had problems besides the one mentioned above.
