    Child with brace - TSA Screening?

    I came through the TSA pre-check line at MCO two weeks ago. They had two different machines to walk through. One was for people with any metal in them. Sounds like that would be perfect for your daughter. I have no idea where those are available.

    My FP+ day is in 3 weeks. Two people on my planning list do not show the ticket icons. They are on my daughter's MDE account and do have linked tickets.
