I work for attorneys and I go to courts (city, county, federal, family, etc.), county clerks offices, etc. where I have to walk through metal detectors on a daily basis. I never thought anything of it until I brought my purse with me and I had to put it on a conveyor belt. The officer said for me to take out the scissors I had in my purse, which is a small pair that I used to cut my bangs. So this made me wonder, what do the officers see on the monitors? Is it an image…like an x-ray? Do they see beneath my clothes? Or do they only see something metal? If so, what about like underwire bras? Do they see that? How did they know I had a pair of scissors in my purse and not just something metal? I know these may be dumb questions…but I was just wondering. Thank you for reading.
Ahhh, thank you Alex. I appreciate your time. LOL, no, I do not lay down on the conveyor belt…that would be funny though.
Thank you Trooper, for your answer.
The reason why I had the scissors in my purse was because I had used it to cut a couple of stray hair around my face but I was running late for work so I just grabbed the scissors and didn’t think nothing of it. And I don’t usually take my purse with me but I did take the scissors out of the purse already before I forget.
