since they can't see into body cavities, they wouldn't be able to penetrate skin in the belly.

2. I didn't think it could. But thought that maybe it would show maybe a different color or density on |
|
the image.
But I guess not. I have googled and have come up with nothing.

GMTA, I guess...I've had two hernia repairs since the first one didn't work, so I was concerned...

4. someone complained that the xray picked up their surgery scar |
|
and TSA did a pat down of the scar to the point it was uncomfortable for a while afterwards.
the surgery that caused the scar was years ago.
