Cremation reveals WWII veteran's shrapnel in leg

He must have had a hell of a job getting through airport scanners

I kind of doubt the shrapnel included half a dozen wood screws and some paper clips

As to the scanner thing, I think unless it's a seriously big lump of metal like a replacement hip you're OK. I've got a metal plate (roughly the size of a teaspoon apparently) in my arm and I've never set off a scanner once.

Not enough adamantium for your arm?

I did ask but they said I didn't have the sideburns for it.

Not that your finger nails were long enough already?

I walked through a scanner in France in the late 90s wearing a reconstructed bullet necklace and it didn't go off
