I'm getting so tired of discovering when I get to airport security that
some item of clothing I'm wearing sets off the metal detector. It's
happened again now with some new shoes I just bought that have some
metal buried inside them somewhere. I seem to be collecting more and
more clothes that are nogo for flying. The craziest items must be a
pair of trousers made by Patagonia, presumably designed expressly for
travellers, with a hidden pocket that has- yes you guessed, a metal zip,
and the money belt with the - yes you guessed right again, a concealed
metal zip. What a wonderful invention, a concealed money belt that you
have to take off to get through security.

Is there any outlet that supplies clothing that is guaranteed not to
activate metal detectors?

Something as small as a metal zipper shouldn't set off the detectors.

At the height of the lunacy at Heathrow last year a foil packet containing
an insect repellant wipe in my pocket set them off.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
