16. Same thing

Jul 20

happened to me years ago. Was having my neck scanned in one of those tube things. They told me 3-4 times make sure all metal and jewelry is removed etc. They shoved me inside the thing and it started clicking and then it occurred to me I had my wedding band still on. I panicked and started hollering at the speaker and told them what was up and they were like, yea no biggie don't worry about it.
I'm guessing that inside the machine maybe the fields aren't that high? I don't know, just thought it was odd that they made such a big deal about it then told me it wasn't a concern.
