Body piercings and other metal objects!!!?

Question

this is kinda crazy but you no if you have a metal belly ring or earrings or even braces does that mean you always beep when yu go thru airport security??

Answer 1

I recently returned from Turkey, we were asked to remove belts and bracelets and thick chains. I've got a belly ring and earrings and I did beep going through customs in Turkey on the way out but for some reason didn't on the way back. Think it's just the luck of the draw sometimes.

Answer 2

i have a belly button piercing and four ear piercings and had braces but it never beeped for me! i think braces these days are made so they don't but not sure about plates and retainers...maybe just take those out when you go through security! belts always beep though so wouldnt wear one going through security if at all.

Answer 3

Even if it did peep I wouldnt worry about it, they will see that u have peircings, or braces and they will know thats why it beeped.

They don't just rely on the machine, they do touch searches, so they will feel that u have nothing suspicious and u will be ok.

Answer 4

I think its a different type of metal that they scan for as when I went on holiday last year they didn't ask me to take any piercings out as I went through the metal detector at the airport, and it didn't beep for me ;)

Answer 5

i've never been stopped.

i've been on over 15 flights/airports during the 4 years i had braces, and they never caused the metal detector to go off.

also, my pierced ears didn't cause them to go off either.

Answer 6

derrr yes you will

Answer 7

Well, it depends on how high they have the metal detector at. Some places have it very high indeed, and I find that the underwires in my bra set it off sometimes, even if I have removed everything else. I'm not taking my bra off for airport security!
