Going through metal detectors with AFO
I haven't used LJ in years, but I have this question as I am vacationing in Washington DC in a few weeks. This will be my first time going through metal detectors while wearing an AFO brace. It does have metal, but no more than your usual belt or so. When I search google it only comes up with airport security (and taking off shoes) and if dental braces set off detectors. What I'm thinking is I may tell them about my AFO ask if I could go through to see if it sets it off (as I'd rather not have to do pat downs if it's unnecessary). What have been your experiences?
