Lemme throw this out there... I blew my knee out badly about 10 months ago, given my current work/family situation I can't have it surgically repaired so I'm wearing a very large brace on my left knee. The brace in question is made out of aluminium and velcro, and I really cant take it off because there's a pretty good chance of my knee going in a very wrong direction and no one wants to see that nor do I want to further damage the knee.
I set the metal detectors off *every* time, to the point that I tell the person manning it that I'm going to set it off and why. I will always get the secondary pat down because of it. I welcome a faster method like a full body scan, so that I can get through security faster and not be at the mercy of the TSA folks and how fast they're moving that day. I have to fly for my job, I can't say "no I'm not going to where ever to teach because I don't want my personal rights violated". Anything that allows me to get through security faster, I'm all for it...... for now..
