Angelina They saw it, I explained to them, they didn't believed me but let me go anyways because the cage wasn't any apparent thread to the security of the airport. For the flight back home, my parents took off the cage and after that, they started using another cage. The "travel cage" as I call is locked with a normal padlock instead of an integrated lock, that way the metal padlock can be swapped with a plastic single-use seal so the cage doesn't have any metal part that could set off the detector.

      that would be a very embarrassing moment for me, fortunately it had no further consequences

          Angelina It was embarrassing when it happened, yes. But after all, I'll never gonna see those security guys again, so it wasn't that bad. I was just glad that they let me pass on and none of them called the police. As much as I hate the cage, I love my parents and I don't want them to face any legal consequences for the cage.

              it is the same with me and that is why my father and I are always very careful and work out many emergency plans for such situations 😉

              good that your parents did not get into trouble

                Lukas

                You're lucky they accepted it easily,yes.It could have put you and your parents in trouble,otherwise...

                  @Lukas

                  did the security guards accept that you still wear the cage or did you have to take it off after the inspection ?

                    Angelina They accepted it, they said it wasn't in anyway a thread to the security of the airport or the planes.

                        What would your parents have done if you had to take off the cage? also a diaper?

                            I don't know, I never asked them. It was a short flight, so they probably wouldn't let me go to the toilet until we arrived or something.

                                hmm it is not always possible to influence this, even for short flights

                                    I guess that would've been my problem to deal with 😅

                                        Well, I guess your parents should have let you use the toilet in case of emergency

                                        you can't pee in your pants 😉
