You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

Braces

I suspect most of the North American members would take a bit of time to understand that reference.
Took me a while. And I grew up in an Amish Mennonite area...

Happy wandering

I'm sick of the dodgy bros belts as they leather is also cough and pulls through the holes. The one I bought had reinforced holes and a buckle that I was almost sure wouldn't set of the beeper. Maybe we need a thread for belts that work!

Just bought a Fossil belt recently that has been through a few airports without beeping

 

[stoneman]

Good old baling twine perhaps, lol

It certainly wouldn't be the first time I'd been told I look like a bag of chaff tied in the middle with a piece of twine!

Doesn't say in the lounge rules either that you can't use string. Maybe quantified as a terrorist weapon tho I guess. But it gives you somewhere to tie your thongs as well.

Both ​.

Both ​.

If you have a chance, do try it through the security in Malaysia. They have some very sensitive equipment there. I've got a cheap belt from Uniqlo, and Malaysia is the only place where it sets off the detectors.

If you've ever talked to anyone who has ever worked airport security, the beep factor can be turned right up or down. The actual indicator tends to be the lights on the back.

The only indicator that counts is when they stop you for a secondary scan/inspection/pat down.

I'm looking for a belt that makes the upgrade machine at the boarding gate beep.

Make your own with $100 bills and string. Or try €500 notes if in Europe.

 

[PaulST]

When you fly from Edinburgh to Berlin via Doha because you found cheap award availability in BA First and Qatar J (but more importantly, in their new A350-900!)

I believe North American men wear suspenders rather than braces. Ask for suspenders in a menswear department in Oz and see how you go.

Don't they have metal (diamagnetic) clips?
