don't know if this has been asked before. But do body piercings set off metal detectors? I have a tongue piercing and was wondering if I'll have a problem getting through security.</font>
Unless it's large-gauge jewelry, probably not. I have my navel and both of my nipples pierced (14 gauge), plus 16 gauge body piercing jewlery in both of my earlobes, and I've never had a problem. They won't even set off the wand during a secondary screening.
