Like people with a pacemaker, when you go through security, you’ll let them know you have an implant, and they will direct you to the appropriate place. You may be escorted around the security machine or occasionally, they may need you to go through the security machine. 

If this happens, turn your therapy OFF using your remote control and go through the security machine. Once on the other side, use your remote control to turn your implant ON for your flight.
