My gf has a kid who's an airplane nut. He just enrolled in JROTC in his
high school and is suddenly motivated about school. He had a broken arm
(skater d00d) that was repaired with the usual metal plates, which he
still has.

Should this impact his flight eligibility? She's got great health
insurance and is tempted to have them removed if it does.

Would be interesting watching the boy try to get through airport scanners.

I've got a little more than two pounds of stainless steel bolted
to my right hip where I broke it in a bike crash. The airport
scanners see it maybe a little less than two times in five, on
average. (I estimate because I fly a lot but I don't keep count.)
