Walked through one of those scanners while wearing my wooden rosary recently, as ive done numerous times.

The look of terror on this old guys face as he said "Woahwoahwoahwoah whats under your shirt?" was something else. I mean eyes bugging out and flsuhed in the face.

I reached in and showed him the rosary and he just held up his hand to stop me so i dropped it back in my shirt and he did the whole front and back of the hand deal feeling it then told me to back through the machine. Then they decided to throw my luggage back through the scanner holding everyone up in my line before finally letting me pass.

Is it a new thing to remove non metal necklaces or was this guy just certain he was saving America?

Yeah it's pretty much anything now, not just metal. I got pulled up by the scanners because I had tissues in my pocket and a silicon pendant necklace.
