I've always wondered what happens if you set off the detector.
The fact is that they allowed him to fly afterwards. Overall it's not so horrible.

If you detained and questioned an innocent man and ruined his day costing him a weeks wages for some, wouldn't you do SOMETHING to make up for it? A decent person would, a bureaucratic organization that is not held accountable sure wont.

- TheCrownedFox 13y agoA friend of mine set one off when we were traveling in Australia. We talked with the guard (who very 100% ralaxed) and he said that setting off the detector is incredibly easy. While he was searching my friend's purse, we were told that some of the chemicals used in make up can set it off. After finding nothing, we were free to continue. Took all of 3 minutes, no additional security, no prolonged questioning, just a simple check and go.
