  • Answer:

    The body scanners do not detect metal. They look for anomalies in the reflection from your skin surface to indicate that you might have something fastened to you. it is unlikely that it will be any problem at all. Sadly, one can <<never>> know what any individual TSA person will think or do. If you happen to go through a metal detector instead of a body image scanner, then those clips are probably too little metal to set off an alarm. People wear metal frame glasses, rings, clothes with metal zippers and buttons all the time with no problems.

I wouldn't risk it. A very small barrette in my hair set them off one day, and I had to have the pat down. Now I never wear any jewelry or any clothing with any decorative elements that aren't cloth. Wear something else.

The body scanners don't really care if it is metal or not. You will get a pat-down if the scanner sees anything more than cloth. Metal detectors (still in use in many places) may activate if your clothing has attached metal and you will get a secondary screening if that happens. Best is to avoid the issue and wear something else.

Are you sure it is metal and not a metal appearing Mylar or some other plastic? If it actually is metal, best to not be wearing it.
