Wolvie and Full body scanners

[thalaw2]

So how is our boy, Logan gonna get through airport security with these things in place?  has this question already been addressed?  I was watching the Marvel Animie (all in Japanese...so it gave me freedom to think) and this came to me. 

For the record, I hate the full body scan with passion.  When you see other people get to go through the old  fashioned metal detector and you have to do the full body scan it sucks.  I really ready to "fly off the handle"...if not for being homesick the last time i flew I would have given someone a piece of my mind...to the point where i was mindless.

Would they actually be worse than metal detectors?  I thought they didn't penetrate the skin, only clothing (one of the major complaints is that they basically take a nude picture of everyone going through them).

the wolverine issue has been addressed, sort of. On the rare occasions wolvie would have to go to an airport anymore (what with the blackbird, flying mutants, etc.) he has documentation for "having a metal plate in his head." It's mentioned in the recent Secret War, if I recall correctly.

I think it showed up in one of his mini-series also. This was back when metal detectors was all they had, and Logan walked through with his medical papers in his hand. Seems like "metallic implants" were mentioned.

Yes, the Wolverine/metal detector thing has been touched on several times whether in a semi-serious state like Tom and Daglob have mentioned (and to give you a more recent example of it, look at Black Cat/Wolverine #1 featuring Arcade) or in a comical fashion as seen in "Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk," which I actually reviewed when it finally came out.

I guess that's good enough...so actually someone like Wolvie would be afforded more privacy.

Whist!  Take care, thalaw, lest you expose the loose system of conspicuous security for what it is...

Shame that card probably got burned up in one of the thousands of times he has been blasted by a sentinel... these days I mostly see him creating diversions so he can board the plane.

He just needs to align himself correctly face to the beam. Or cover himself in pancake.

So, as long as they don't make him go through an x-ray machine, wolvie's covered.

He doesn't actively carry the card everywhere he goes, y'know. Only when he HAS to use it, and I'm sure he has copies. Lots and lots of copies. Lots. Of copies.

ETA:

Actually, now that I re-read my issue of "Claws," he doesn't make use of the card, but references the metal plate and has Emma make use of her telepathy so he can get through without getting a cavity search. Hrm, I wonder what book I was thinking of when I was recalling the card? *shrugs*

I remember a story with him going throught the line in plain clothes (pretty much what he is wearing in the page you included). I still think it might have been the first Wolverine mini-series (and most of my comics are in storage).
