Later in April I will be flying commercial air within the states. This will be the first time since I had Medtronic pace makers inserted in my chest to fly. What is the easiest method for advising Southwest that I cannot go through the security gate because metal pacemakers will cause alarm to sound and may shut off the pacemakers. [I] do hAVE ID CARDS FOR EACH PACEMAKER. i CAN NOT BE "wANDED" EITHER AS WAND IS MAGNETIC AND ALSO CCAN SHUT OFF PACEMAKERS. Anyone have suggestions.

If it were me I'd call the airline, speak to a supervisor, and ask. I would think you're not the 1st person with an issue such as this.

Good luck!!
