    Default Warning B&R Reps sets off metal detector at the airport.

    Was going through airport security today.. The B&R setoff the Alarm. haha. I said oops must be my watch. Took it off and walked right though. TSA guy says "oh is that a Bell & Ross" Yup....I replied, knowing this wasn't going to be a long conversation. He said don't see them that often but the'll trigger the alarm every time. That's a nice chunk of steel sir. Thank you I replied.

    Good to know that it will do that. I usually take mine off though and put it in my carry on bag.

    I'm always setting off the metal detectors.

    "Coins?"

    Remove coins from pocket. Still beep beep BEEP...

    Arms stretched out sideway. Security use hand held detector around whole body. No beep.

    Security puzzled.

    "Go back and go through again..."

    BEEP BEEP BEEP!!! *sigh*

    Takes out 'Metal Baby' from wrist, placed it on basket and goes through detector again... *silence*

    No... those were packed in the check-in luggage that didn't pass the security scan and didn't reach the plane...

    But that's another story
