Q: How are you able to get through airports?

A: There are two distinct security screening options at airports: magnetometers and full-body X-ray. Starting with the magnetometer, the sensitivity on these devices is set according to a national standard. This is done to allow minimal false positive alerts. This is why passengers can go through them and not take off jewelry like large earrings or necklaces. When the current consumer-grade implants are actually examined, they are mostly silicone. Only the iron and titanium in the bio-sensing magnet and copper from the antennas would be reactive to the security of a standard metal detector. With such a minimal amount of actual metal, it's not enough to set off the alarm.

The full-body X-ray is also set according to national standards and again with an emphasis on reducing the number of false positive alerts. Currently, I have never been detected at any airport globally with regard to any implant. Additionally, if there was any dectectable deviation in the skin, current health and privacy laws prevent further investigation. I love using laws against their writers.

 

Q: How do you power the devices?

A: All current consumer-grade implants are induction power. The energy field from the receiver provides all the devices with power. Only medical-grade implants and do-it-yourself (DIY) devices have the capability for internal power at this time. I expect with advances in battery technology, this will not be the case for ...
