Metal Detector Bypass?
I'm not a terrorist or anything, but I'm interested in anything wireless, anything that evolves the electromagnetic Spectrum, and science in general. What do you think will allow one to bypass a metal detector?
How would this whole process work? Think plastic coatings, using a LF transmitter to make it constantly just go off? What do you think?

Actually I was working on a cloaking device. I never built a prototype though because the raw materials would have costed me $1000. Plus, there are several different types of metal detectors and each one has to be fooled in a slightly different fashion. If you really want to know, just buy a cheap metal detector and see if you can fool it. I think it can be done. If you find a way to bypass those blatently unconstitutional airport checkpoints you've got my full support.

This is not a good idea. You can have no legitimate purpose for wanting to bypass the metal detector. What you will most likely do using the methods you have referred to is put yourself in a situation where you will get extra attention, not less. Not to mention is is a violation of federal law to attempt to bypass security. You would be looking at a hefty fine and possible jail time.
