VICKI Re: flying

[Guest guest]

My scar is really not that visible. I haven't flown yet but I don't

think I want to drop my pants to show anyone that. The authorities

need to come up with a way that is both respectful of the passenger

yet safe. I have no problem with being wanded but if I had to have

someone looking at my body...well that's another story.
