It surprises me that the metal detectors in the airport would notice her
jewelry. Most body jewelry is 316L or 316LVM implant grade surgical steel.
I've flown many, many miles, nationally and internationally and never once
did a metal detector even hiccup at my jewelry. And I wear 2ga in some
piercings. I think it has something to do with ferrous and non-ferrous
metals.
