Which statement accurately reflects prosthetic handling during screening?

• A. An officer will ask to remove a prosthetic
• B. An officer will NEVER ask someone to remove a prosthetic
• C. Prosthetics must be confiscated
• D. Prosthetics can be searched with no policy

Answer: (B)

During screening, medical prosthetics are treated with respect and accommodated to keep the device on the person. An officer will not require a person to remove a prosthetic; instead, the screening is conducted with the prosthetic in place using non-invasive methods or targeted checks around the device. Removing a prosthetic can pose medical risks and may be unnecessary, so the standard approach is to complete the screening while the device remains on the body. The other options would involve removal, confiscation, or unfounded searching of the prosthetic, which conflicts with safety, dignity, and policy.
