Do medically implanted metal bits set off current airport metal detectors? My wife has 32 screws, five metal plates, and a spool of wire in her left arm, and has been through a number of non-airport metal detectors without triggering any alarms. Maybe the metal detectors we've run into so far aren't as sensitive as their airport brethren, but I have worn steel shank boots through airport metal detectors without buzzers going off. That surprised me quite a bit.
I've seen the x-rays of my wife's arm, and I'm sure it would provide at least some minor amusement to the operators of these scanners. I don't think she'd mind, but I would imagine there are many others who would object to strangers viewing the results of past accidents, etc.
In any case, we all know this technology is really part of a government program to identify all individuals who have had those small, metal whatnots implanted in them during abductions by aliens.
When was Workplace Designs bought by Cramer? It looks like I'm not reading the Typing Injury FAQ often enough.
Ripping the chair mounting hardware off the old Floating Arms keyboard is a reasonable enough idea, and making the trackpad available on the left or right is nice, but I still want the numeric keypad on the left.
