nothing happens to you nor the device. If a metal detector and it goes off then tell them. I tend to tell them first but only to not have them upset at me after. went thorugh, detected, then he wanded me, and buzzed over it, then I said that is where my pacemaker is and I got a lecture on my own safety and blah blah blah. not worth it. these days you say I have a pacer and they say it is safe go through...
but even the metal detectors are perfectly fine if you run into those at a sporting event or airport, etc...
You know you're wired when...
You make store alarms beep.

I live an extremely normal life now and my device does NOT hinder me in any way.
