How to get my iPhone 4S through a metal detector?

I'm going to a tv show in LA, and before you go in- you must go through a metal detector. However, I want to keep my phone in my pocket. What can I do to make sure it doesn't go off? Should I put it on airplane mode? Turn it off?

If it's metal, it's metal…

Are you saying that your not allowed to have your phone on you? If so turning it off isn't going to stop a metal detector. If you just don't want it to make noise during this then turning it off will be an idea.

You can't. Take it out of your pocket and put it in the tray to go through the metal detector. It will go through with no problems and you pick it back up on the other side of the machine.

It won't hurt your phone in any way. I do it all the time as does my husband.

BTW. All airports insist that your phone be off when going through security so turn it off first.
You can turn it back on after you get through security.
