    I think they have decreased the sensitivity of the metal detectors since installing the body scanners.
    I've had a titanium rod from my knee to my ankle for over 15 years. Pre 9/11 it never alerted the metal detector. Post 9/11 it would go off every time. I really never had any problem with additional screening until a few moths ago when they made me turn down my button flys so they could "pat down" my underwear. I ride them pretty low so they definitely touched my happy trail and I exposed my pubes for all to see.
    With this and all the hype I was pretty worried about going through all of this again and wondered how I would react if they tried to put their hands down my pants again or if I would have to go through additional screening if they saw all the metal in my leg during the body scan.
    I didnt have to go through the body scans and all the metal detectors didn't go off for the first time in 10 years!
