Greetings Elaine et al..... I do not work for TSA but I my work does involve people going through airport security. You are talking about the magnomiters or the archways people walk through, usually called metal detectors. The simple answer is that it depends on the metal and where it is located. The closer to the center line the metal is the less it will set the thing off. The closer to the edges, like a watch, the more it will set it off. If you know you will trigger it or think you will, stop before going through and tell the nice person on the other side that you will or think you may set it off. Go through when they tell you to do so. If you do this, they will stay very nice to you. You can tell them privately why you will or did set it off if it is not obvious. My slave went through the magnomiters many times wearing her Turian collar and did this and she had no problems with them. Sometimes it didn't even set it off. They usually asked if she had a key for it and when told no, just wanded her down and let her go through. If you know you will set it off, add five to ten minutes to get through security and tell the person checking you to go ahead and do what they need to do, they have your permission so they don't have to ask or explain things every time. Once you do it a few times it is not a big deal. I hope this helps. Be well..... Malkinius
