Expression about temperature
If a temperature scanner is unable to read or check your temperature, can I also say "My temperature is not going through the scanner."?
The reason I ask is because I have heard that credit card numbers or other type of information "does not go though" a computer system. That is the computer cannot read such information and for that reason is not "going though." would I be correct if I said that body temperature is not "going though" a scanner? Please let me know.
