TSA Scanner Spots Unexpected ‘Threat’—And It’s Not What You Think
Your body has other ideas just when you thought airport security couldn’t get any more miserable.
Some wealthy travellers are experiencing an unexpected and very significant setback, and this issue is currently receiving more attention.
It’s astounding how many commonplace pocket objects you fail to take out before passing through airport security, whether it’s a phone concealed in your pocket, jangling keys, or misplaced cash. However, what would you do if the object that triggers the alert was an appendage?
Travellers are sharing their stories of having their erections and big penises set off the airport security alarms. Although they can be embarrassing, TSA scanners are an essential component of airport travel. Although early models of these devices did display naked images of passengers, these devices have since been phased out. Instead, modern scanners employ automatic threat detection technology or millimetre wave technology to display an outline of your body in order to identify any possible dangers.
Large genitals may be reported as an unusual shape by the scanners, which are designed to detect items like sharp objects, explosives, and bags of drugs with unique shapes. The software is intended to draw attention to the questionable item’s location on the traveler’s virtual silhouette.
He passed through security with ‘a small chub’ soon after saying goodbye to his long-distance fiancée, and one man shared his embarrassing TSA encounter on Reddit.
In his cautionary tale about airport erections, he wrote, “I had flown to visit my girlfriend and when she dropped me off we were kissing making out you know in her car before I left. I had a SLIGHT chub still, dudes know what I mean by this.”
“I was scared, it was going away but too slowly, of course the one time there is no line.”
“I put my hands up and did the scanner, I look at the screen, and THERE IS A HUGE RED CIRCLE around my private area. I got pat down once, this is common at airports, I have a subcutaneous defibrillator in my chest but he went to my legs.”
“Then he brought over his supervisor, he pat me down again and I said lowly ‘I was just with my girl my bad man’ and he said you’re good to go.”
He continued by calling the event “the most humiliating experience I have ever had in my life” and expressed his wish that no cameras were watching him.
A man who went through airport security and had his crotch recognised as a possible threat shared a similar experience in a different Reddit thread.
“I travel very often, and nearly every time that I go through airport security, the full-body scanner is set off,” he said. “A yellow box appears on the screen over my penis. And then, of course, I have to get a very personal pat down in sensitive areas. Not only is it just uncomfortable to have someone touch me in personal areas every time I go to the airport, but it’s also very time consuming.”
Others expressed empathy for the man’s predicament and mentioned that they have gone through similar things.
Therefore, if the situation gets out of control the next time you’re flying, just consider baggage claim.
