How do I sneak my phone past the metal detector?

[Anonymous]

At the convention where I'm graduating, I have to go through a metal detector. They said no phones are allowed, but like most teens, I gotta have my phone with me! How do I smuggle my phone past it?

I don't know if this will work but many metal detectors have a defect where they don't work well at the floor level. You might get away with it if you can find a way to hide it in the bottom of your shoe. Then don't step through the detector but slide that foot through. Another option is if you have access to the building the day before you might be able to sneak one in then hide it some place where you can retrieve it the day of graduation like perhaps the lady's rest room.

Sneak it in before and hide it somewhere safe or find a way in that they're not watching. Or say you have some metal in your body and they'll just pat you down and you can smuggle it in if you're lucky but that's a risky option.

And why is it you feel like you're extra special to not follow the rules?

Suck it up and leave your phone for the convention.

The ceremony is about 4 hours long. I can't go that long without using my phone. I have to sit there and wait for everyone's names to be called, one by one. That'll take forever.

You don't.

Mainly because if others see your phone, then you'll be reported and removed. Else have it confiscated.

Not worth the risk.

I wouldn’t risk it. Getting caught will be a nuisance.

Then why do it

Well, like I said, 4 hours is a long time without using my phone, and I want to have it with me.
