MBs & metal detectors

[Jrits]

do you need to take them off to go through metal detectors?

no, they won't set it off. But pins and celebration buttons will

If they are as sensitive as the ones at the DCL terminal my Alex and Ani's triggered it

the issue is that they are all calibrated differently. For example my daughter and I park hopped one day. We went in the morning to MK she went through the metal detector no problem, same day, same outfit, we went to DHS and when she went through it beeped, the security CM used the want and determined it was my daughter's pant button that triggered it

I used to work a metal detector (courthouse) and I agree that they are all calibrated differently. They should be calibrated to alert to anything weapon sized while not going off for zippers and underwire bras.

What we used to do was have a person with bracelets or a watch go through with their hands over their head. The metal detector shows what part of the body it is alerting on so if it beeped and the only part lit up was above the head, we knew that it was the bracelet or watch (by the way, precious metals did not alert but costume jewelry would).

If a person goes through with the wrist at their sides, you don't know if the alert was for the writs or the hips and then we would have to wand them.

I had a belt buckle sound the other day as I went through the detector,I know I've worn that belt on several other occasions that I've gone through the detector and it didn't cause any alert,why???

fitness bands will not go off also.. just ask before you walk through it and worse case you have to do the wand as well (I forgot my phone in my pocket once).

I have a metal implant in my leg and sometimes it sets detectors off and sometimes I'm fine, just depends on how sensitive they set it.

Magic Bands will not set it off.
