My hubby had a hernia op the other year and now has a bit of metal mesh in his groin.

Is this going to set off the alarms at the airport? Anybody have experience of this please?

Would he have to provide evidence of the op (ie note from dr or hospital)?
 
My husband has three bits of mesh lol dont worry he travels constantly for work and never been stopped xxx
 
ok thank you very much x
 
The metal detectors don't register pins in legs, false hips etc anything under the skin. That said if you have a leg full of metal that can sometimes set it off.
Hernia mesh won't even register.
