TSA warning: don’t try to hide your private parts
Folks have created products designed to shield private areas from the TSA’s Advanced imaging Technology. But it won’t work, says the TSA on its own blog.
“Remember the post about the artist who designs metal plates for baggage with messages that appear on the X-ray monitor? This is very similar to that. If there is something shielding an area and we don’t know what’s under it, we have to conduct a pat-down,” says the blog. It continues:
“We’re certainly not going to tell you what you should or shouldn’t buy or wear, but I feel it’s only fair to give you a heads up on your choice of attire.”
So basically, passengers should be aware that the use of these types of products to shield their private parts will likely result in a pat-down.
Some might think this is TSA’s way of getting back at clever passengers.
That’s not the case at all, reassures the blog.
“It’s just security,” it says.
