My American friend Lianne told me that when she left Singapore's Changi airport for Seattle USA, in July 2023, her wired bra set off the security body scanner.
A metal necklace, or pendant, a metal watch strap, or metal belt, can set off security bells. I have had all these. You might be asked to remove the item, put it in a plastic box for scanning, and step trough again. This adds to the confusion and stress of travel. It may delay you.
Unfortunately, a bra is not something you can easily remove in a hurry, in public. The Security staff solution might be to ask you to stand x shape with your arms and legs apart whilst they scan you all over, up and down, with a metal sensitive wand.
I have not had this problem recently. Nowadays, I prefer not to travel wearing a wired bra for another reason. When sleeping inflight, with my body at odd angles, I want to avoid having metal bits sticking into me or constricting me. A wirelss bra is more comfortable.
