No, scanners at airports or other security points cannot detect if you're using tampons, menstrual cups, softcups or diaphragms as these are inside your body.

Pads can be seen when women go through scanners, unfortunately there have been a few cases where women using cloth pads have been strip-searched because security staff have not been trained as well as they should to recognise when women are using sanitary products.

Since diamonds are radio-lucent in their molecular stricture, no x-ray machine can capture an image of diamonds.
