I’m flying to Florida later this week & planning to take my HRM. Will this set off alarms with TSA? I’m hesitant to pack it in my checked luggage for fear of it going missing.
Are you planning on wearing it??? 'Cause some airport just made national news for forcing a woman to remove her nipple rings … so …
Packing it in carry-on should not be an issue. They will likely x-ray it just like any other electronic device and see that there is nothing of danger inside.
My Garmin305 went to Atlanta and back this week end in my carry on backpack- no problems (kept it in an outer pocket for quick access in case they were curious and wanted to see it).

Ha Ha, I saw a story on that-- now they only require you to SHOW your nipple rings to a TSA agent- where do I sign up??
Yeah, but then ya gotta deal with Gloria Allred, so …
BAD RING TO IT: Attorney Gloria Allred said her client Mandi Hamlin was given a pair of pliers and forced to remove her nipple rings before she was allowed to board a flight in Texas.
That picture reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with Stan the Caddy when Kramer was suing the O’Henry candy bar heiress…
Jackie (to Kramer): I think we got this wrapped up.
Kramer: Yeah, yeah…What’s your read, Stan?
Stan: You’re close, you’re on the green. You just have to go for the
cup.
Kramer: What do you mean?
Stan: Have her try on the bra, see if it fits.
Jackie: No, no, no, no!
Kramer: Do it, Jackie. Stan’s the man.
Jackie: Stan? Who the hell is Stan?
Kramer: He’s my caddy.
Jackie: You’re caddy?!? This is a big mistake!
Kramer: G- cada-
Jackie: Your honor, we request at this time, that Miss Mishke…try on
the bra.
Judge: This court will come to order! Go ahead Miss Mishke, try it on.
(Sue Ellen proceeds to try on the bra, over her top, but it seems too
small)
Sue Ellen: Ah, it doesn’t fit…I can’t put it on.
Jackie (to Kramer and Stan): Damn fools! Look at that! We got nothin’
now, nothin’! I’ve been practicing law for 25 years, you’re listenin’
to a caddy! This is a public humiliation! You can’t let the defendant
have control of the key piece of evidence. Plus, she’s trying it on
over a leotard, of course a bra’s not gonna fit on over a leotard. A
bra gotta fit right up a person’s skin, like a glove!
It should be fine in a carry-on.
I actually wore my strap going thru the metal detector recently – went outside for a run during a long layover in Frankfurt, came back thru security wearing nothing but sweaty running clothes (I remembered to remove the watch) and set it off. The security woman looked at me puzzledly, scanned me by hand and waved me through when the only beeping came from my chest. Probably assumed I was wearing a bra with metal underwire or something.
Thanks to all. You never know what is going to get TSA’s collective panties in a knot these days.
