Flying

Thread Starter  

Just read somewhere that bandsters beep at the airport security. Is that true?

I never heard that one! I know several that fly and haven't ever beeped!

This has happened to me ONCE. I just flew home and I did not beep. I have had it happen to me but only ONCE. I fly quite often too. So not sure if it was related to the band or not.

The Inamed band ports are made of titanium, which most airport security metal detectors do not pick up. If the detector recognizes titanium, you will beep.

But as I said, as of today, anyway, MOST airport security metal detectors do not pick up titanium, so no beeping.
