I’ve also thought of doing this, then i consider the possibility that one day I’m in a car accident and have an MRI while unconscious, only to suddenly reveal to everyone i had metal inside my body.

Improbable but i just don’t think the fun is worth it lol

Yeah, that was another concern of mine, or if I go through an airport scanner and have to answer awkward questions about why I've got a capsule concealed inside my body

As mentioned in the article, that shouldn't be an issue. Many people have reported going through without event. I'm looking to test it in a few months.

Yeah I know, I just get extra concerned about putting stuff inside my body like that :P

A perfectly reasonable concern.

I’ve had one for ~7 years now and fly multiple times a year. I’ve never had it set off the metal detector, or more modern scanners at any security checkpoint in the US, or Mexico.
