Not sure what to make of this, not that it actually relates to me but still.

I think some pervy men are using pathetic excuses and pedantic arguments just to get women to hike in the least amount of clothes possible and I am all for it.
:p
Really though? I didn't think a small wire like that would affect it much. What about watches, phones, knives, keys, necklaces, and every other bit of metal in your backpack? I have heard of these things affecting by anywhere up to 10degrees but reverse polarity would be very unfortunate.
Oh well, something to bear in mind. Nice find.
Depends how much wire is in the bra KyleL ;)
I think there could be something in it. This happened to a friend a few weeks ago, she thought the compass was broken.
Maybe it wasnt a new compass she should have purchased ;D

What a load of prissshhhhhhh
How much wire do you think there is in a bra? Depends on the size of scaffold needed I suppose.
Made me chuckle, the Scottish sun looks like a good read
Maybe that is what happened to Whorya's compass.. Lol
Don't buy the sun, justice for the 96!

Scaffold, ha! :P
The reason is surprises me is that the magnetic compasses on small aircraft are affected minimally and they sit on top of a great big engine, as well as on GPS equipment etc. As long as you aren't relying on the kind of compass you get in a Corn Flakes box I would hope you would be fine.
Ah Jeez now Claire.. not much wire in an AA ;)

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa

I agree with the article and I've read the same thing in many navigation books. When using a compass you're suppose to hold it close to the body for support so the bra wire could effect it then but I've had no experience of this so maybe some of female members could experiment with holding the compass away then close to the body while wearing a wired bra and see if the compass needle moves? :)
I find your lack of jokes disturbing.
We're all extremely mature around here ;)

I don't believe it for a second!
Ah, I was unaware that the drill was to hold the compass against yourself - in that case, maybe it could have a major effect.

Whorya.. I appauld you for being comfortable in your own skin ;) :D
For the benefit of this post i took a very quick dander up the trassey track this morning to the mourne wall, wearing said unwired garment.
I had been in the same area on Tuesday and thought perhaps that the wall itself may be throwing off my bearing, and maybe it contained some magnetic force. This was a bit embarrassing as I was attempting to show another person how take a bearing.
Low and behold, same area, close to the wall, and had no problems getting a true bearing! Took a few bearings in different locations and had no problems..
Wireless bras it is then folks :D

Well there we go, mystery solved.
And I don't want my doorbell repaired, damned annoying Mozart tunes!

Would that be an iBra?
