I understand you concern about malls - they don't have the technology to scan you fully. But remember you won't be the first.

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.
1) Car/traffic accident resulting in broken legs. Some officers are curious, but you don't have to explain anything, because...
2) ...nobody cares why you have metal inside you, actually. Always swift and never any problems. The medical card/letter is just needed to show that it is not self-made and could be a weapon.
3) Sorry, didn't read it. Luckily, we don't need any metal detectors for malls or stations in my country.
No, they don't set off the detectors.

I meant something that wouldn't make my friends go "Whoa, when did THAT happen!?" I don't think there's any way to brush this off when detectors go off.

*fingers crossed*
No, it doesn't. It doesn't set off the rectangle metal detectors and it doesn't set off the x-ray scanners at the airports. It's odd, too, because even my belt sets off the x-ray scanner. I think the bone does a very good job at blocking x-rays and detectors from seeing the rods. Even the hand scanners don't pick it up.
You have nothing to worry about.
