I just had a thought

So me and a friend are planning to get get cartilage piercings this Wednesday. But just now I realized that I might not want to do that. My family is planning on flying to Vegas for Christmas and I don't know how the airport people would react to my piercing with the metal detector. They might make me take it out, and I thought you weren't suppose to for awhile after you get it done.

I suppose this requires further investigation. To Google, away!
