Do others also have a routine and wardrobe they wear when flying to decrease their chance of "beeping" when stepping through the detector? Or are you one that always "beeps"?

It must be because you have such a magnetic personality! I never worry about people holding up the line at security because they "beeped" but I do wonder sometimes what they had that set the machine off. In most cases, I would also prefer to wait while they get "wanded" rather than seeing them travel naked.
