Victoria Beckham metal detector pat down jewellery
Perhaps refusing to take off jewellery when going through security is a sign of being Posh.
For Victoria Beckham ended up being given a pat down after failing to take off her gold when she went through a checkpoint at a Los Angeles airport on Monday.
The birthday girl, who has just turned 43, did not seem to mind one bit as she underwent the procedure, and even gave a cheerful wave to fans afterwards.

The Spice Girl was looking good for her age in a trendy ensemble of white T-shirt, black trousers and high heels.
And it is easy to see why she was being so careful with her baubles, for as well as her enormous wedding ring, she was also wearing a designer watch and golden bracelet.
Her husband David was also spotted at the airport, manfully ferrying their four children through bustling LAX.
The former footballer shared a photo of Victoria in her famous black leather from the Spice Girls' Say You'll Be There video - which he has previously admitted was the look that had made him fall in love with her.

The former Manchester United star, who became a high profile journeyman after leaving the club, captioned the snap: 'Happy birthday to An amazing mummy , wife and friend .. We Love you Have a beautiful day x'
The whole family except for Brooklyn, who was at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, enjoyed a celebratory dinner at Nobu in Malibu prior to her birthday to mark the occasion.
The post comes after Victoria spoke about getting older in an intimate interview with ELLE magazine.
She said: 'I have matured - and you see things very differently as you get older. Mum is 65 and dad is 70, but they are still quite young-spirited.'

She also said she is quite different to the short-skirt wearing, all-dancing pop star personality which made her a household name.
She continued: 'I don't even consider the 'me' from back then the same person I am now. I saw Tom Ford on a plane recently, and he said:
'"I don't look at you when you were in the Spice Girls and connect that person with you now. You're such a different person".'
Victoria also said the last time she remembers having a good dance was back at Christmas when Mel C performed by chance in the Maldives.
