Can you see a tampon during an airport body scan? This is a frequently asked question on Google, and if it's something you're worried about, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Airport body scanners can't see inside the body and therefore can't detect a tampon on a TSA female body scan image.

Metal detectors can detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metal types, although they detect ferrous metals more easily due to their magnetic properties. Ferrous metal contains iron and is often magnetic, while non-ferrous metal consists of other elements like nickel, aluminum, and zinc.

MORE DETAILS

Airport scanners can't see through metals like gold, platinum, and tungsten. They also cannot detect objects hidden in body cavities or behind materials such as aluminium foil, lead, and crystals. This means that dangerous items could potentially go undetected by airport security personnel.
