Have you ever had a pat down at the airport?

Asked by Demosthenes (15424points) October 23rd, 2024

This is an odd thing and maybe TMI, but on a recent trip (from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back), I had a crotch pat down at two different airports. When it happened the first time, I thought maybe it was the athletic jogger pants I was wearing, so I simply wore a pair of blue jeans the second time, and nope, same thing happened. The body scanner set off an alert below the belt and they had to feel me up all around that area. I could only conclude it was the fact that I was wearing briefs, but that doesn’t seem fair. Do briefs-wearers just have to jump through more hoops? Oh well, I guess I’ll do more testing and wear different underwear next time. I guess it could’ve been just a coincidence, but it didn’t seem like it.

Or maybe TSA agents just want to molest me, I don’t know…

I can’t believe this is my 400th question. Oh well. This is what’s on my mind right now. :D
