Hey all, just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with bringing or wearing their Prince symbol necklace through airport security. Do they confiscate it, or is OK?

It depends on the country and its custom regulations if it´s custom made real gold.

If you are worried about its shape being deemed too dangerous, it´s probably best to just hide it under your shirt and in case the metal detector goes off just tell them you are wearing a gold chain. I doubt they´d look closer under your shirt once they see part of the chain.

Some countries customs regulations might charge you with a fee/taxes etc. in case it´s real gold.

Put it in the tub, run it through. It will be fine.

Ha, I only wish it was real gold. It's actually sterling silver (the cheap stuff), and yeah I'm a little worried that they'll see the sharp point at the bottom and freak out over it. I'm flying within the U.S.

Dude - have you never flown before? I mean...how big is the necklace?

If you aren't sure - pack it, don't wear it.

They'll look at it and ask about it. Happened to me. They let me through.

I fly once a month and it's almost always on me. Haven't had any issues. One TSA woman made a remark about it, well about me rather Other than that, no one has even questioned it. Shouldn't be an issue.

I've worn mine literally every day since 2007.

I've been on (as best as I can remember) over 40 separate flights since then.

Never had an issue.

I have worn up to 41 seperate pieces of jewelry -- at one point I had 22 earrings in my right ear, 10 in my left, 3 in my right eyebrow, 3 nose rings, a tongue ring, and two lip piercings -- and never so much as set off the metal detectors in a federal building, nor did I so much as get a raised eyebrow over it. I highly doubt an easily recognized symbol like Prince's is going to twitch security folk within the US. Don't worry about it, yo. Most people aren't going to fuss you about that. They've seen stranger.

This is by far the most inane active thread right now. Not an easy feit. Well done.

You will probably be fine with the necklace. However, my symbol belt buckle almost DID NOT make it through security (the one sold at Glam Slam, classic symbol, sideways, about 5in long). I had to throw a fit to make them let me keep it. This was around 2002 when airport security was more intense.
