Hi lilylangtree-

By intentionally wearing all that metal, all you will do is slow your progress through the security area, as well as your traveling party. You might even be tossed on a list as a potential troublemaker.

The goons won't care and may even take you aside for an interview and to further review your luggage for their troubles. You won't achieve a single thing.

Your better bet is to drive or take a train to your destination. Send photocopies of your gasoline receipts or train tickets to the airlines with an explanation of why you didn't travel with them.

Good luck with your trip,

~ Blue Jays ~

Thanks. But I did this same thing when I traveled in July. It was hot that day and I was at the airport 1 and 1/2 hours before flight time. When I went through I beeped from one side of my shoes, all the way over my head and down to the other side of my shoes. I was then taken to a room off the side and two female TSA's reviewed why I was making such a noise. With a big grin on my face, I showed them my jewelry, lifted up my top and showed my girdle as well as the top of my jeans, took off my shoes and showed them an anklet. While one TSA took off my shoes with my top still pulled up, I stated with a grin on my face that I was heterosexual if anyone was interested. The woman checking my shoes grinned like it was a great joke. The other lady frowned like a prune and told me I could put my top down. I informed her that it was too hot and I'd just as soon keep it up until they were finished. :)
