I have metal screws in my back from a spine fusion. will i be able to go through ametal detector at the airport?

Alarm may go off: Surgical plates and screws may be detected by airport passenger scanners, so one should carry a doctor's explanation when traveling, in case an alarm is triggered.

Yes: Usually not enough metal to set off detector depends a bit on how many screws , court house detectors are often set more sensitive you can get a card to carry from surgeon or show them your scar I have had zero spine patients have trouble with this although the question is universally asked.

Yes: It should not be a problem.
