Another thing about metal detectors, especially if you are on the mechanical team: Steel toed shoes set off metal detectors too!! I found that out in 2001, before 9-11 on the way to Florida for Nats.
But I found it interesting how the two airports handled it.
In CT, they made me stand aside and wanded me. Then after it beeped near my feet, the lady there pulled up my pants legs to make sure I wasn't concealing a weapon of some sort under my pants or socks. I told her it was steel toed shoes but procedure is procedure.
In FL on the way home, the metal detector went off again, (I know I know stupid me I should have learned the first time and not worn them again) I went through and they wanded me and when it beeped near my shoes I again told the person that it was steel toed shoes.
They just waved me on through!! I was kind of shocked at that!!!

Very interesting!

This year I wore normal sneakers as I did not want to be stopped.
(But I was anyways, as a random screening.)
Oh well!!
