What do you think?

I guess I haven't heard that this would be a problem.

Out of pure curiosity- why would you not want them in your pocket going through a metal detector? 100% of the time, you are required to empty your pockets before going through

Are you referring to accidently going through and having the detection "erase"?

If you are concerned, TSA rules allow you to ask for a physical inspection by a TSA agent and avoid the X-ray machine.

Status: offline 		JohnVH: I checkerd with security here at the local International Airport. Their advice was to simply show the chips to the security officer and ask them " please, do not xray this item". Most will comply
