Why would he remove his wedding ring to go through security?
That's a good question.
Only cheap, costume jewelry sets of the magnetometer. I fly often and have never removed any jewelry or my watch.
That was my first thought. I've been through airport security and never removed my jewelry, just my shoes. :0)
Security has everyone so crazy...a few weeks ago we were going through security, and my husband told me to take off my rings and watch. I knew you didn't have to, but he didn't. I don't think it's unusual to think you have to take jewelery off.

Security!
TSA has made it so inconvenient to go through security that I take off everything made of metal, including my eyeglasses (even though I can barely see the metal detector standing there without them) to go through.
Otherwise they see a twitch on the detector and bing, bang, bam, there you are, in your socked feet, being wanded, having someone feel your waistband, etc, etc, etc.
Trying to be a good passenger and follow the rules?
My question exactly.
This is stupid and does not pass the smell test - so to speak. Perhaps carrying/wearing the Rolex is to give himself and his story a kind of reasonableness. . .
But Rolex's are not guides to good character nor do they offer any credibility to one's motives.
Something doesn't smell right here.
I've been told to take my wedding ring off more than once going through the metal detector. And mine wasn't big enough to be worth $7,000.
Once I declined. I was told that it was my right, but that I'd get the full wand package and hand luggage search.
Metal?
Is he claiming that one of the screener gnomes that hides inside the scanner is responsible? Otherwise, his tray of goodies should have been within his eyesight, even when getting the body scan.
I was wondering the same thing. My ring has never set off the detector.
