Last time I flew I wore jeans that fit super well on the way out and kinda loose jeans that I needed a belt to keep up on the return. The loose jeans set off an anomaly in the groin area and both me and the TSA agent shared a collective “I don’t want to be doing this right now but this is what we have to do”
Anyways my point is, I think it comes down to the fit of your clothing, if it’s more form fitting it’s less likely to be detected as an anomaly. But also the machine is sensitive enough to detect when I’ve forgotten a receipt in my back pocket and will yell about a tiny scrap of thermal paper so I suppose it would detect any anomalies in one’s body
I mean, when the choices are either A. Put up with 30 seconds of awkward clothed patdown then move on or B. Likely be detained, not get to return home from my business trip, possibly fired for the stunt and likely have to fund my own cross country return trip through alternate travel means, there isn’t much of a choice is there?
Sorry, I don’t mean to blame you personally. I meant that the TSA / whole routine in an airport is pretty stupid, and people shouldn’t be attacking airplanes to make this security be the norm, and other similarly idealistic thoughts
I’ve got a constant runny nose and always have used but still useful (I’m a gremlin, don’t at me) kleenexes in my pockets. They let you keep those on your person, lol.
Yeah they don’t force you to toss it if you have a scrap of trash in your pocket that you forgot about but they do make a stink about you having it because how dare you
