Cartier Love Bracelet and Airport Security

[scheurin]

I virtually always beep even if I have virtually no other metal on me (except in Geneva the holding a finger inside the bracelets seems to work). I think the metal detectors in Europe are probably set to be more sensitive in general.

Second that. Germany seems to be the worst.

I was shocked not to beep in Stockholm today! I usually always do there.

Mine was stuck on my wrist until recently when I had to cut the screws to remove it to have it repaired. I'm having surgery soon so needed it off for that. I've never had an issue (meaning I've never been asked to remove it or anything like that) at a UK or European airport with my Love and they have generally known what it is and understand it does not come off. It sometimes beeps, but they just ask me to hold my hand above my head through the body scanner or scan my wrist with the hand scanner. I do keep my screwdriver in my handbag now though, just in case I need to remove it!

Dumb question but do they allow you to take the screwdriver on to the plane?

Yes, I carry my jewelry and the screwdriver in a pouch in my purse when I fly, never had an issue.

I had my screwdriver with me when I went to Portland, and didn't have any issues. It was in my purse.

In the US, yes. In the UK, the blade/tool element has to be shorter than 6cm - so I think that means mini screwdrivers are fine. Alternatively, I suppose you could also take a mini glasses screwdriver

Good to know! Years ago I had problems at 2 airports. It was a big hassle when I had to explain to the security people that I couldn't take the bracelet off. Ever since then, I've taken it off and left it at home if flying.

I always take off my cuff and go through with my full bracelet, beeps every time lol. Always say I can't take it off, sometimes they wave me through, and sometimes they do a pat down. They were quite annoyed with it in Barcelona though, not sure why.

I’m travelling from Canada to Dallas and have always left my Love at home. I hate taking it off so I may chance it this time. Anyone have experience going through DFW airport??

I go through DFW regularly. I would say I rarely have had a problem. In fact, it seems I rarely have an issue anywhere anymore.

All my posts in this thread involve DFW, I've never had an issue.

Swanky do you say anything to prompt them or just go through?

Not a word! It's never once set off a sensor. I even carry my screwdriver in my purse in a velvet pouch with my unworn jewelry.
