Can I pass through the security gate if my shoes have aluminum eyelets?

When we walk into the airport, station or other places that require security checks, we often encounter security gates. The security gate is a safety device used to detect carried metal objects. It emits electromagnetic waves to detect metal objects on the surface of the human body. However, for some special cases, such as aluminum eyelets on shoes, people may question: Will wearing shoes with aluminum eyelets trigger the security door alarm?

Aluminum is a lightweight metal commonly used to make a variety of products, including eyelets on shoes. Although aluminum is a metal, it has lower density and conductivity than other heavy metals, such as iron, copper, etc., so it usually does not cause false alarms when passing through security gates.

In reality, however, security gate sensitivity and settings vary from device to device. Some security gates may be set up to be more sensitive and detect smaller metal objects, while others may be set up to be looser and only sound an alarm for larger metal objects. Therefore, even wearing shoes with aluminum eyelets through the security gate may cause an alarm, but usually it will not be a big problem.

In order to avoid wasting time or causing unnecessary trouble, it is recommended that when you need to go through the security check, try to choose shoes without excessive metal decoration, or Proactively inform security personnel of the aluminum eyelets on shoes so that they can better judge and handle them.

In general, it is usually OK to wear shoes with aluminum eyelets through the security gate, but it also needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis. In actual operations, it is very important to comply with security inspection regulations and cooperate with the instructions of security personnel to ensure smooth passage and safety.
