Yes, fully detectable by a metal detector or an X-Ray, but not a WBI. Read what I was responding to and you might be able to figure out the other part of the conversation. “Opt-out” is a WBI related term, although one can certainly opt-out of WTMD screening if they wish.

And we continue to. Go figure, people still think we won’t find them or won’t look there. Read what I was responding to and you might be able to figure out the other part of the conversation. “Opt-out” is a WBI related term, although one can certainly opt-out of WTMD screening if they wish.
