What about airport metal detectors?
e-mail question:
Does the jewelry that you put in cause problems when you go through a
metal detector in an airport?
e-mail reply:
Stainless steel body jewelry should not cause a problem. 316L surgical
stainless steel is not magnetic and should not be detectable. Neither
will titanium nor niobium cause a problem. Your private piercings can
remain private.
