Load your pockets with spare change etc so if it goes off you have plenty of excuses and hopefully they will just let you on in after they see it was the change.  As reported, I believe the sensitivity levels can be set on these units so usually it's not a problem.

Looking for guns and knives. I had some mics in my hat not long ago, the guy asked me to tip my hat, he looked at my mics, looked at me, picked up my mics, looked under them and put them back, and said "okay, go ahead". I also had a CA9200 deep, and my M10 "phone" in my hand. Not my usual M-O, I was just lazy.
Since I quit drugs, I love the adrenaline rush when I get away with something.

Nice one.  The M10 looks like a phone if it's held upside down (or, as I do, placed in a camera pouch with my keys and wallet).  :)

Unless explicitly told by artist/management/label, security aren't gonna bug you about mics -- at least I've found that.

Most security guys wouldn't recognise a stealthable mic anyway :P I've been asked about my small mics (CAFS and CA14s) several times and always say they're earphones - no further question by them.

So if I stuff my CA-14s in my ears and leave them plugged in to my 9200 and M10, I can claim they are just earbuds plugged into my headphone amp and MP3 player.  Nice! ;D
