Does a Chin Implant set off metal detectors?

December 13, 2016
Asked By:posteypost in California, MD

I was having a talk with a friend and we had a strange convo about this: do the screws or whatever holds the implant in place set off detectors at the airport? They ask if you have anything in your body like that, so I was wondering. Thanks!
