Getting thru airport: Metal detectors go off or no?(stryde)
« on: March 13, 2021, 10:01:01 PM »
Wondering if I should alert TSA before going they screening? Anyone have any experience flying with Stryde nails?

My Stryde rod has sometimes set it off, but not always.  I don't think you need to tell them beforehand, though.

My stryde nails did not cause any trouble so far during two trips. People have all kinds of metal implants. Even if they notice it's not a big deal and they will just palpate you.

I've flown quite a few times and I've never set off the metal detector before.

In fact, the first time I flew and I was limping with a cane, TSA asked me if I had implants and wanted to go through the body scanner instead.

Most of the airports these days; make it so the body scanner is a default way to get screened.  They will see the nails and ask no questions.  If you are looking for a more speedy way to get through the screening; sigh up for TSA Pre-Check.

This was correct.

I had 0 problems getting thru TSA. Thanks!

Flew at least 20 times with Stryde. It never set off the metal detector. I’m TSA precheck so almost always went through the metal detector.
