Looked this up and can't find an answer anywhere. It'd be a shame if I had to explain what's in my legs every time I'm at the mall or movies with my friends.
Something I wonder too, I think it might. Do you think Parihar would know?
Most likely yes, but you don't necessarily have to tell security that you got CLL. There's plenty of people who get surgeries that requires metal pins, nails, screws, and plates. Just don't quote me when you're getting your anal cavity checked by the TSA haha.
I've been through many security checkpoints and metal detectors in the airport (I've lost count), but I've only been detected only once with the metal detector. Strangely the same airport didn't detect my rods after that incident even with the same equipment.

Ever got detected at malls/cinemas? I don't want to have to make up something in front of friends that don't know what I did.

They don't have detectors at malls and cinemas here. Unfortunately I can't tell whether detectors could go off, there's always that risk, so it'll be good to be prepared to tell something to your friends and officers.

Thanks. I don't mean the ones operated by hand btw, I'm talking about the rectangle you walk through.

The one that detected the rods were the hand detectors. While all the rectangle ones that I've walked through did not go off. But keep a believable excuse handy just in case the alarm does go off. It can be pretty embarrassing.
My mother has artificial knees, it think made of titanium alloy. The rectangle gate detected it.
And they will also see it if you go trough the "nude scanner".
She had to show a card from her hospital, stating/proving that she has metal in her legs for medical reasons. The exact reasons could remain private.
Then the security officers checked her legs for explosives.
It also happened to me with my regular rods inside when I left India, but I didn't have to go trough the gate with my wheelchair, just the manual check.

What excuse do you give for this? I can't think of anything.

Do they make a fuss about it or just accept it?
It'll definitely get detected by airport security checks, but I was wondering about the ones at malls.
