Weird Ways To Set Off A Metal Detector

7. Steel-toed boots Popular among construction workers, Daria and counter-culture fans of HIM and Slayer alike, consumers may be best off finding some more comfortable shoes for the plane that won't set something off. Save the metal-laden footwear for when you land.

6. Afro Pick You've groomed your 'fro into a hairy halo of beauty, reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix. You've left in your afro pick as decoration, or perhaps as a reminder to everyone else of how great you look. Unfortunately, this item will set off an alarm, so just remember to smile as the beeping of the alarm causes everyone around you to stare, because you are looking good.

5. Flask Being afraid to fly is understandable. You're in a metal cage hundreds of miles above the ground; it might be nice to take your mind off of that fact. Bringing this item just isn't smart though, because it will get confiscated. If you are 21 or older, just order something on the plane. If you are underage, you may be able to get served if you are traveling on a foreign-based airline or over international waters.

4. Underwire Bra You've lifted, you've separated, and you've set off the alarm. You may run into an uncomfortable situation with this, so the more modest may want to invest in a sports bra.

3. Vibrator Spring break is intended to be a time to relax, and we all relax differently. While pocket rockets and hand-held massagers might be your favorite way to unwind, keep these items in your carry-on or luggage, and not on you.

2. A Genital Piercing Everyone wants to shine from head-to-toe this break, but this is going to be a very awkward conversation with security, which may result in an even more awkward strip-search. Do not be that person. It's probably best if you or a professional removes it before you take off.

1. Metal Plate In Head While there isn't much you can do to avoid this situation, make the best of it. The mother in Nickelodeon's "Pete and Pete" had a plate in her head, and she was still cool. Make up some wild story about how your father is actually the "Terminator," or about how you were abducted by metal crazed aliens.
