Will these set off metal detectors at airports

Sorry, I cannot answer your question with certainty as I have not gone through a metal detector at airport. That said, here is what I believe:(1) The amount of aluminum in one sleeve is so small I find it hard to believe it will trigger a metal detector(2) The sleeve will definitely show up as a suspecious item on a full body scanner used at most larhe US airports. If your sleeve is in a neck pouch or purse, it is recommended to let it go through the X-ray scanner( the moving belt ) instead of carry it with you through the body scanner. You can put your neck pouch back on your body once you have clear security checkpoint.Hope this help.

Great question, Sara! Thank you for asking!In fact, the results in this area are mixed. We have had reports of the sleeves setting off the detectors in European airports, where the technology is different. However, as you can see from the earlier responses, our customers tend to see no problems getting through the detectors in US airports. Your results may vary.However, all our reports indicate the staffs at the airports are very familiar with the use of sleeves such as these and are not upset when the detectors are set off by them. Simple present the passport in the sleeve, pass through the detector again without them and everything should be fine.Have a great trip! Let us know how it turns out! Great question, Sara!

I went through the metal detectors in the TSA pre-check line where you don't have to take off your jacket... had the passport in my pocket in the sleeve and it did not set off the metal detector.

I haven't been to the airport with these yet, but can't see that it would be a problem since you can't have anything on your person when you go through the scanner. It's really just a heavy weight paper sleeve with "conductive laminate layer", nothing looks or feels metallic.

These went through inside my purse under the xray machine no problem. I wasn't allowed to go through with anything in my pockets.

Hi - No they do not. You would have to remove the battery to shut them off at night. Sorry

No. We have lots of them and they never set it off. I have also found out it never detects hand held laser speed guns until the cop pulls the trigger. So this helps if you are not in the front of the pack and they are shooting someone else. I saw a motorcycle cop and braked way before this went off. It is a helpful gadget, but not perfect.

Most probably. You will need to get a 1/4" male to 3.5mm female connector, such as Monoprice 105493 6.35-mm Mono Plug to 3.5mm Metal Jack AdapterExcellent metal detector at a great price.

Yes they do, there is a button on the control panel to turn them on or off.

these will trigger/signal only the kidde smoke detectors wireless or wired/battery backup of this series of detectors. i have changed all my wired/battery backup detectors on my second floor to kidde and changed all my existing battery detectors to kidde on my first floor, they all alarm if any of them goes off. one word of advise don't install any detectors close or adjacent to the oven because if you are broiling and you have a breeze blowing it will set off all/every one of the smoke detectors an all floors.

I don't believe they will but I wouldn't use them in this application anyway. If you are using a Pelican case then whatever you have in there is worth some $. If you are intending to use these on a case with a firearm in it for ease of inspection when checking it for TSA inspection, you need to be present anyway during said inspection. That said, it is better to use a padlock (or two which are similar keyed).

As far as I know, if a metal detector can work underwater, it should work on land too.But as far as this particular metal detector goes, I wouldn't trust it.There are way too many bad reviews on the internet for this detector.Also, many of the good reviews on Amazon for this detector look like fake reviews, as if the reviews were posted by the seller.

It does not assist the main detector, and it would add weight to the shaft of the main detector. Turn it off and put it in your pocket/holster/apron, whatever.

Yes this will set off scanners. It has a sharp stainless short knifeVery sharp and can be used as a weapon

These detectors are very sensitive to fumes. I've experienced them going off due to aerosol sprays such are air fresheners in bathrooms, and spray paints. The detectors were not damaged, but false alarms in commercial buildings are disruptive, to say the least.

Yes, just make sure that the detector you buy goes the distance. They are different. I bought 2 detectors. First one set up about 450 yards away and then the 2nd one about 100 ydsaway to let me know when someone is closer. I love them !

The metal detector will work fine in all terrains, the only things that will mess with it are areas that re high in metal content. Water puddles might not work real well either.

I am not a TSA officer, so I'm not sure. They aren't weapons, but I would put them in my checked bags rather than carry-on. Just in case.

I'm sure they will. We use them on car batteries for our electric fencers. Very seldom do we have to change batteries.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you need a different type of radiation detector. Look into an electromagnetic radiation detector.

They aren't GPS tags- the most you could probably do is have it set to trigger an alarm if it was removed from the NFC tag
