Hiya, I googled any maybe I didn't use good enough key phrases, but I am looking for an answer to airport security and piercings. I have a sweet pea /labret in my upper lip and am wondering if it will need to be removed each time I go through the peeping-thingies. If it wills it of the peeping, I'd like to buy an acrylic labret, but if it wont, then I wont be bothered on buying one.. anyone know the rules?

Thanks!

Best bet is to call the specific airports.

Apparently not but you might be required to show them if the alarm keeps going off. My friend has a couple of piercings and the alarm has never gone off and she flies regularly. But then I guess there is always the possibilty the alarm could go off and they want you to. I found security varies a lot from country to country.

I used to have quite a few various piercings, and I never had to take any of them out going through airport security.

i don't know of anyone ever having to take piercings out. i often wear clothes with metal pieces (like jeans) when traveling, and as long as i can clearly show what's causing the beep, i don't have much problem. it might depend on what countries you're traveling to, but i doubt this will be an issue. still, just to be safe, you can always call the airport, as la suggested.
