Cathrin,

 

No. I fly a lot and its never an issue. I asked about it once at Heathrow and they told me it's too small an item to set off any alarms with the current scanners that are used otherwise wrist watches, rings etc would set off the scanners if they were adjusted to that fine a degree. However I don't know about the new generation of xray body scanners ..even though a lot of countries are not using them (yet?) they might pick it up and the wire loops used to close your chest. Anyway I would assume even if they did it will not be a problem anyway!

 

cheers

Hi Cathrin

I also fly a lot and have never had a problem,thats not strictly true as the alarm did go off once but all they did was use the hand held scanner. That has happened to me before even when I didn't have the valve.

Regards

Hi

I have another question, but not related to flying.

When does the noise of the Mechaincal valve not make such a loud thumbing sound.  My heart seems to speed up, then it slows and doesn't make such a loud noise.

Thanks

Cathrin
