are vials with the aluminum detectable by metal detection ?

[drrman]

Aluminum is a metal man made metal

and aluminum is NOT a man made metal either, its a natural occurring element, with a relative atomic mass of 26.9815

where did you think that people made aluminum?

bright statement there bro, aluminum is a fucking element retard

atomic mouth must be the brightest person on EF

i don't remember when, i can be wrong but Aluminum is metal

bro, what are you saying? aluminum IS a metal, the atomic chart is divided up into gases and metals, aluminum is on there and it is a METAL!!!! but its not man made, and its not an allow

Take it from someone who works in an Aluminum factory that take raw aluminum (metal) and melts it down to a molten form the adds materials such as iron, copper, magnesium, titanium, boron...ect to the "Metal" that creates the specific "Alloy" that the customer wants...Aluminum is METAL.
Also take it from a seasoned gold prospestor who has plenty of experience with metal detectors...Even the cheapest least powerful detector can and will pick up a tiny sliver of Aluminum.

Holy misinformation, Batman!

Aluminum is a metal, it is also a pure element. It's manufactured via electrolytic processing from an ore called bauxite. This might be why some people think it's man-made. By the same logic, so are many metals - they have to be smelted from their ore forms, and the impurities are skimmed to leave pure, molten metal.

The periodic table is not divided into 'gases and metals', it's divided into metals and nonmetals. The nonmetals exist on the right side of the 'staircase' which is to the left of Boron, Silicon, Arsenic, Tellurium, Astatine, and (theoretically) Ununoctium.

At any rate, aluminum is a metal and it would most likely be detected by an airport metal detector - the damn thing picked up my package of GUM (Trident SuperPak with the metal foil...) and I almost had to STRIP before they let me pass. Fuckers...

Well aluminum is used in bombs so im guessing they will detect it....

I'd be careful. I went to Florida a few months ago and had my military ID card in my shirt pocket. For all that have not seen them, the new ID Cards have a small metal chip in it. Well, the dude with the metal-detector wand found the f'ing card in my pocket... The chip is about 2cmX2cm... It can't be that thick either... my .02 cents

10 vials WILL get you caught if you have them in your pocket and you walk through a US metal detector.


If they're in your checked bag, no one will give them a second look.

At least in the US.

I used to have an old metal detector i never realized how many aluminum foil wrappers that darn thing caused me to dig outta the ground. everyone is right.......metal detectors are a no no.
