Fifteen years ago Ouch. I have some titanium/stainless steel pins in my left leg from a severe motorcycle accident 32 years ago June. Those have never set off metal detectors anywhere. I wear a heavy stainless steel emergency braclet (akin to this one http://www.silvercity.com/amazon/bss148.jpg but has no strip and has the Star of Life engraved on it) too through the metal detector and it's never set it off in any airport or in any courthouse. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG All your spirit rack abuses, come to haunt you back by day. All your Byzantine excuses, given time, given you away.
