Airport security with a genital ring

Has anyone been checked at airport security check point with a genital
ring? I had a genital piercing before 2001. It did not set up alarm at
airports. I have given up that piercing; now I wan to have a genital
piercing again. Could someone tell me if you had trouble at airport
recently.

Thanks.

"When I travel in planes or go to airports I always wear jeans now. I
wouldn't want to be wearing a pair of joggers and have the metal
detector wand beep at me. By wearing jeans the airport security
officials just assume that my zipper is the only metal near my waist.
I have never set off a metal detector, but in airports I just like to
play it safe, just in case." /copy and paste from

I don't know the date on the above text, however the following offers
a specific time frame:

"My most recent trip through airport security (September, 2006) which
was extremely tight with its new rules about liquids and how many
personal items you could carry on, my 8 piercings didn't cause any
issues walking through the metal detector. Neither did my underwire
bra. But the penny I failed to remove from my pocket was caught by
both the walk-through and the wand. The wand also reacted to the metal
buttons on my jeans, but not my piercings.

In general, a few piercings usually does not pose a threat of setting
off an alarm. However, with today's heightened security, it is always
a possibility. The risk increases with the more piercings you have or
the larger gauge jewelry you wear in them." /copy and paste from

Generally, Ti jewelry doesn't set off the main scanners. Wands,
maybe. SS, I don't know.

But with 30 or so piercing below the navel, I haven't set off the
alarms yet.

But if you're talking a little ol' frenum piercing, I would doubt you
have worries. Besides, aren't you man enough to say "I have a genital
piercing. Want to see it?"

Eh, if you beep out, and the wand thingie squeals right over your
crotch, most airport security peeps just grin and continue. I
guarantee you won't be the first person they've come across that
happens to.

I flew on a buddy pass a couple of years ago and got pulled for the
extra inspection (like someone on standby is going to be a
terrorist). The want beeped at my nipples and the guy asked "do you
have any piercings?" I lifted my shirt and showed him without missing
a beat.

He said "Next time, just say yes."

I said, "By the way, 24 below the belt."

"You may go," he said.

Then, coming back on the same trip, I got pulled again. This time, I
said "Look, the nipples are pierced and there are 24 genital
piercings. The wand will beep." The TSA guy just wanded my sides and
sent me through.

Yeah, I feel secure.

It won't be the first time they've heard it, and probably not the
first time they've heard it that day.

I've got 17 10g-5/8 captive bead guiche ladder, 4g frenum barbell,
4g-5/8 curved barbell PA and 3 10g implants. My recent trip to Italy
didn't set anything off.

Ha! How original. You've surpassed yourself.

Anyway, two RAB visitors with responses relevant to the OP's question
and two negative responses from you. But I'm the one with the "boner".
Keep telling yourself that, Kavin.
