Magic Bands and Airport TSA Security Scanners

[BWV Dreamin]

We have our Magic Bands and will be wearing them on the day we fly into MCO for our Disney trip. Has anyone had any problem getting through the security scanners wearing the Magic Bands?

I don't think the bands have been out long enough for there to be enough data (even if someone said they had no problem at their airport doesn't mean it will be the same at yours and vice versa). I would simply ask one of the officers when your emptying your pockets.

I would stuff them in my carry on before security and pull them out and put them on after security.
The TSA can be so unpredictable. Take watch off? take necklace off? take belt off? It just depends on who is running the show there.
We take off all listed above just in case. Going through the Big Xray scanners I have had my bare legs patted down, my straight hair patted down, and my hoodie inspected. I guess those Xray scanners don't show as much as they say the do.

To me I would rather breeze through security than have to be patted or etc...

Just put it in a bin to go through the xray machine. It isn't going to cause any concern, but it could set off the detector you have to walk through if you wear it. I wear an UP activity band and once a TSA person asked me what it was out of curiosity cause he'd never seen one, but otherwise, it's no trouble. I wouldn't imagine the Magic Bands would be any different.

We are not wearing ours, there too uncomfortable. They will go in the purse through the X-ray belt.
