This is probably a silly question, but I was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem with their port setting off the alarm thingie while going through security at the airport?

No but telling the ticket person "Blessings of Allah upon you" is a bad, bad idea.

My port never sounded any alarm, but my old underwires did! Im so glad I dont need them anymore. Dont forget that all your liquids, jells, toothpaste,shampoos etc cant be more that 3oz each and they all must fit into a quart sized zippy bag. Its ok to check on bags that have more liquids and jells though. I found out that I can keep my medicines separate, like my rx toothpast. Happy flying!

Hahahaha So is trying to light your shoes! :confused:

But seriously, I flew to Mexico and back and my band didn't set off any alarms. Enjoy your trip. :eek:

I just got back from Colorado and nothing set off the security people except my nebulizer. They always have to check it for gunpowder. Actually it's sort of cool. They sort of swab it down and run the swab through a machine. You just have to carry 3 oz. of stuff in your carry-on baggage. I carried 3.5 ounces of hand lotion and had no problem. You can pack anything in your bag if you check it. I always check my gigantic suitcase. I have to plan for all emergencies so I take just about everything I own. When I got to Colorado, I found some little peppermints in my bag, courtesy of the Tulsa security people. That was a lot better than my previous trips when everything in my suitcase was destroyed. But this time I put everything in zip lock bags and they seemed to like that. I went all the way to England and never had a problem with my baggage. When I went to Mexico for the band, my bag, which had my nebulizer in it, took an extra day to get home. So now I carry my nebulizer on the plane and let them play with it. They seem to like that and I don't have any problems.

I've flown numerous times since being banded and the titanium in my port has never been detected during security screening.

I went to Florida this past weekend and I had to be wanded because I could not go though the body scan You know they have such high drug traffic through there they randomly pick people to go thru the body scan And yep they picked me I just told the attendant that I had a band in my stomach so he just directed me to the side and had me handed wanded after about 30 min I was put thru All and all It was as bad as I thought

Thanks Tricia, I haven't been banded yet (hopefully soon) but I like to travel and thats why I wonderded about the port setting something off. Also thanks for including your before and after pic (it gives me hope) keep up the good work, you look wonderful.

I carry my band info with my passport just in case.
