also id def toss my fleece jacket in the bin cause the thick zipper. heck one time i had TSA tell me to put back on my watch! whats up with that?
word of warning. breathsaver wrappers are metal. i learned this at a courthouse years ago. when i was at the empire state building and got the buzz he told me that cannot be the issue. i handed him the lifesavers and went back thru no buzz. ...made my day
My routine before getting to the checkpoint is to put my wallet, keys, watch, and other bits in my carry on. TSA doesn't see me do these things. The only thing I have on me is my ID and boarding pass. If I get Pre fine, I don't remove shoes or belt. If I don't I'm already divested except for shoes and belt. My belt has never alarmed the WTMD and it has a metal buckle but is not a solid mass. If you turn your buckle parallel to the floor it will be less likely to alarm so I was told by a TSA screener.
