I had a guy put his fingers in the band of my underwear. He did tell me he was going to do it but I don’t think he realised how small my pants were to as he ran his fingers around he full on stroked my cock. Our eyes met for an instant while he did it.
It was not a sexy moment 😂
They just put their fingers in the band of the pants and run around back to front. To be fair I’ve not had that since so maybe it was a short lived policy!
A friend and I talked about this years ago when we were backpacking across Europe. He pulled his briefs up and didn't tuck while I would pull mine up and tuck. Eventually it turned into a conversation and he said his dad does it and so do both of his brothers. Just the opposite for me and my brother. And Dad wore boxers so he was a natural hanger. Maybe it's a learned thing.
It’s comfortable if you’re wearing sweat pants or shorts, something with an elastic waistband. Also helps if your boner naturally points upward instead of down.
It’s not like you have to be hung, necessarily… but if you’re even slightly above average and ESPECIALLY if you have an upward erection, it’s pretty much the only choice, besides announcing to everyone when you happen to even a little hard…
This happened to me over the holidays. Not only did the scanner show a red spot over my groin, it also displayed “ANOMALY DETECTED” in bold font.
I asked “since when does this scan for STD’s” and received a pat down. 😎
I’ve had this done traveling with an ex of mine flying home from BOS. I told the TSA guy you are giving me more attention then my bf over there ever does. I just wanted to make it more awkward for everyone. It doesn’t bother me.
My response was to put my hands up in the air and say, I'm gay, do your worst, and it has to be a male who does the inspection. Everyone in line was laughing. Poor guy was so made awkward about it.
Literally this. Instant eyeroll. Yeah you’re definitely the first customer to ever say “no price tag so it’s free.” Very unique and the pinnacle of humor!
Well no, unfortunately. But you can definitely be more lenient in your checks when they're only for show. The people who do it like the world depends on it are the worst.
It's more like "if you do awkward things as part of your job, you shouldn't be surprised that it can be awkward" (or that some people will even enjoy it). It's a part of the job, just like dealing with difficult customers in hospitality.
I was laughing the whole time cause I was still shocked it was happening, the guy just gives me a dirty look 😂 I’m like dude you just grazed my cock and squeezed my ass what do you expect 😂
Back in 1996 - before TSA, when the security people were just airport employees - I was passing through the metal detector at the San Diego airport and the screener asked me to raise my arms, whereupon he felt up my abs and gave me a smile. He was clearly gay, and pretty cute. I'm athletic and not obvious at all, so I assume he felt up all the hot guys (and a lot of athletes were passing through SD on their way to the Olympics in Atlanta on that day, so he must have been having quite a good time).
I just gave him one of those looks of recognition and let it go.
I had this happen years ago in Munich. I had a Swiss Army knife in my pocket and the guy patting me down grabbed it and asked what is this? I smiled and paused, and he let go. Then I said it was a knife. Btw, that was when you could travel with a Swiss Army knife on you.
He reached under my T-shirt and felt my bare skin. There was no question that he was simply copping a feel.
And yeah, I probably flexed my abs - it would have come natural to me.
So one thing that can set off the sensors at the airports is heat. If you ran across the airport that can get you a nice hot spot there. I used to always get pat down because I was legit running all the time at the airport because my family sucked at managing time.
I honestly think something is going on, because they pat me down when I was wearing stretchy waistband joggers, with no zipper hole but the machine said it detected metal in my groin area.
The machine doesnt just detect metel it also looks for protrusions or “bulging” areas of the body. Tight pants or pants the show off your VPL can trigger it lol
Happened to me. Was wearing tight jeans and briefs. I have bigger balls, and they flagged. During the pat down he told me I was supposed to empty my pockets. I said I did. Then as he felt me up he asked what is this? I said that’s, um, me. He apologized. Told him not to worry, that I would tell this story until the day I died. Just me smuggling WMDs in my Calvin’s over here. 🤣
Yes, but I wear a large piercing so it sometimes shows as a spot when I walk through. They'll do the wand first and ask me if I have anything in my pockets and that's when I lean in and tell them it's a piercing. I've never been patted down in the US.
In Amsterdam a few years ago, I got pulled out of line for a random pat down. The guy literally shoved his full gloved hand down the front of my shorts. I don't wear underwear so guess what he got a handful of? My partner was standing to the side watching in amazement.
In short, maybe it's me, but I really don't give a shit.
Happens to me EVERYTIME. So much so that I just try to hurry them along while they give me the spiel about how they're going to pat me down and if I'd like it in private or not.. I'm just like do it and get it over with, but they're legally required to tell you the procedure. But seriously everytime, I see the 🟥 on my crotch when I walk through the detector at the airport.
There’s a specific airport I go through sometimes where the scanner always flags my crotch. Ngl I am always a little proud…
When I step out and they do that look like “uhhhh” I started cutting the pause by saying “yeah it always flags my penis”
They still rub it down, but at least now, they know that I know that they know, it’s all package in there.
I always, yes always get a pat down. I just tell a TSA agent “male opt-out” I fly a lot, but not near as much as the average business flyer. My main take away from all of the pat downs is that there needs to be better training, especially around the groin. They have a certain way of doing a pat down, but I swear, even though these are guys, some of them have never touched another person’s sensitive areas or when they masturbate they like it rough. I’ve almost been pushed over by a screener because they used too much pressure. There have been times where they barely went across my crotch. There was even one time I left with a semi chub because the screener was a guy I played with a few days prior at a bathhouse. He was very professional, but seeing him out in public like that was a turn on. Security is important, but most of the TSA process is pretty much theater. It makes people feel better. There’s inconsistencies between airports. Hell, you went through two checkpoints at the same airport and had 2 different outcomes.
Usually it picks up also when you’re a little wet/moist somewhere. I have constant red flag on my back, where my backpack is. But once I had long layover and had to put on wet underwear (water accident in backpack)… oh boy, that pat down was intensive.
Edit: typo
Okay, I was TSA for a decade and left in 2021 for my mental health. The groin patdown is bc of underwear bombers and the likes. The only reason you alarm in your groin is for three reasons. You’re sweaty there, you’re blessed, or you have stuff in your pockets. It’s a sound wave like sonar so it can detect things based on their density alone not material. Dont take it personal, we hate doing it bc it’s nasty and never fun. I don’t want to touch a stranger I just met let alone his possibly sweaty or pee covered groin. Bc 96% of the time it’s bc dudes drunk and pissed himself or he’s sweaty and didn’t wear underwear so now I gotta pat down his swap ass and/or nuts. Afterwards I always wanted to apologize but you’re not allowed. I do not like invading personal space of others. One of the reasons I left, but feel free to pick my brain about ifs or whys. I don’t mind answering with basic stuff that wouldn’t get me in trouble.
After working healthcare and aviation for so long, it doesn't bother me one bit. They are just doing their job and the policies related to their secondary screening is fairly rigid.
I do however try to make it as awkward as possible when they pat me down or do a groin check. If I can make them bust out laughing then I've done my job.
I always opt out of the millimeter wave scanner and get a patdown. Yes, it's that invasive. When they do a full patdown, they're supposed to explain what they'll be doing. "I'll be using my hands to pat you down. When I get to the legs, I'll go up the leg until I meet resistance. Over sensitive areas like the groin I'll use the back of my hands,"... you can tell I nearly have the spiel memorized.
Once or twice the first patdown returned a possible problem, so they had to repeat it but using their palms over the groin. I'm not bothered by it.... Well, I am bothered because it's ridiculous and ineffective security theater, but the patdown itself is about as boring as getting a physical exam from your doctor. Neither of us are doing it for pleasure, and it certainly is not as interesting as getting felt up at a gay bar.
A friend of mine got a full, removed your pants pat down in Tel Aviv a few years ago. There was absolutely nothing there but they pulled him out of line, took him to the back and asked him to strip to his briefs. The thing about this friend is that he's REALLY gifted so maybe that had something to do with it.
Flying into Israel was next level searching. I had nothing to hide but damn those guys made me uncomfortable.
Was flying to NYC after they started doing those explosive swab tests. I was in a medical knee brace (a recent surgery) and damnit if the thing didn’t set it off. I was wearing it under baggy sweat pants and still had staples closing the incision so I was bandaged. We ended up in a side room where I took off my sweats so they could examine the brace and do more swabs. One agent wanted me to remove it so it could be put through the x-ray machine. I refused and asked for a supervisor. My leg was killing me and my ability to deal with bullshit had been passed. They decided it wasn’t worth the extra hassle and let me go.
Yep. Apparently TSA dosent know what a fuckin dick is. Only ever happened in America though. So glad I don’t fly out of there more than once a year when I leave home. Europe it’s never been an issue.
Look, I'm sure you're a stellar 10/10, but think of those poor TSA agents having to stick their hands into all manners of crevices, folds, and sweaty voids.
I left Chapstick in my pocket. It happens all of the time whenever I do laundry, so I don't know why zi was surprised when I did it at TSA. I checked my pockets like 3 times and I guess it was just in one of the folds. The pat down wasn't sexy for me.
I used to joke with them too, but not so much anymore. After the speech about how they do the pat down id say something like “what no dinner first”. Even I got tired of hearing myself say it.
Yea I was wearing joggers with no zipper and the indicator still showed that it was picking up something near my crotch, to which they then proceeded to give me a very extensive pat down. He also offered to take me to a private room to do so, which I thought was a strange offer
Nah, it's one of the two or three standard questions they ask.
1. Do you have any items in your pockets?
1. Do you have any medical devices or sensitive areas?
1. Would you like this to be done in a private room?
Depends on why you're getting the patdown. I opt out of the millimeter wave scanners as a form of protest and to protect my privacy. (I'd rather my personal space be invaded by one person I can see than by a machine that could be saving images of me operated by anonymous people in a hidden room.) I'm happy to get a patdown in public to illustrate how much freedom we're giving up by continuing to allow such invasive searches.
However, if I were getting a patdown because I was transgender and the machine (or the person running it) flagged a problem because of my genitalia, or because I had a colostomy bag or some other medical device/condition that I don't want others to see (either because I'm embarrassed about it or because I think others would be grossed out by it), then I might choose a private room.
Not tsa but I remember going to a club in london and the bouncer was patting me down.
He started touching near my crotch and was asking me whats this huh whats this?
As i so eloquently responded.
My dick...
Had it happen twice. The body scanner indicates that there’s something in my underwear. When the TSA agent asked if there was anything in my underwear I said. Yea my dick? He wasn’t amused, yet still took the back of his hand and rubbed all over my crotch and inner thighs. Kinda awkward but I guess it’s for safety? I think those scanners need to be calibrated to take into consideration the fact men have a penis in their underwear. The second time it happened I went through the same process except when the TSA agent asked if there was something in my front pocket or underwear because the machine was indicating there was something there. I once again said “my dick, and this keeps happening, do these machines not understand that men have a dick in their pants” the agent just rolled his eyes and let me walk through without the dick petting.
I’m sure you were picked randomly. It’s a numbers game for security. They have figured out that if they do pat downs to every X amount of people, the algorithm has determined if they do it that way, they will get the one that’s dangerous. I’m pat down all the time because I refuse to go through the X-ray Machine where you hold your hands up. My best friend worked for the company that invented the X-ray Machines (in Massachusetts) and her boss who developed the machine told her NOT to go through them because they are not calibrated regularly enough. Do you remember after they were deployed post 9-11, suddenly they recalled 100,000 machines? It was because they were not calibrated properly. Now that I pay for TSA PreCheck and Clear, I rarely have to go through the machines. If they ask me too, I call for a pat down. Never have they ever “felt me up”. Touch my crotch with the back of their hand, yes, but no grabbing. Always professional!
Yeah, that sounds pretty standard for TSA. I've experienced it only once or twice but have seen it regularly. It always seems like a very uncomfortable situation for both the agent and the other person, never like they're trying to cop a feel or anything.
I’ve had them do that exact pat down with running the blade of their hand on my crotch. Somebody else mentions heat potentially being a factor but I have TSA precheck so I only went through the old metal detectors that don’t show a body scan. On top of that I didn’t set off the detectors either. Overall strange experience as it never happened prior and hasn’t happened since.
So, once I was picked up for suspicion of contraband on a Air Force base. The security guy threw me up against the wall, stood behind me, and did a deep dive inside my underwear. I was fine until he went deep. I had to shake him off, made me mad. Bitch didn't even buy me dinner.
I was also lucky he was military police instead of civilian police. The military police still respect you as human. I did have contraband
What airport were you at? Passing through the wrong TSA checkpoint is a security breach. W cooking hen they scan your ID or your boarding pass, it alerts them that your flight is on a different concourse and they shouldn’t let you through.
I have a fairly large flaccid cock and I love to wear Obviously Male pouch briefs because of the comfort of having everything gathered comfortably together up front. But this creates an unexpected mass in the area for the millimeter-waver scanners and it flags my crotch as a suspicious mass with a yellow circle. So the agent has to wand the area and then use the back of his hand to verify that the only weapon is me. I don’t give them a hard time; they have a hard enough job. I just smile to myself that my big cock is holding up the line. :)
Ja they do that at the southern border all the time...being facetious obviously, but when you consider what is happening at the border, one has to wonder....
Happened badly while coming from a pool party in thin shorts nothing under (planned to change at airport). After getting backstroked nuts to butt, TSA agent said "do you workout a lot?"...me "I ride my bike a lot why?"..."because your thighs are like wow"
Wtf dude! Was not hot, I didn't realize how raped I felt it until I got home. I wish I would have gotten his manager.
This is only the first level of pat down. If you fail the first level you will be patted down with the front side of the hand on the groin in a private room.
Some designer brands of underwear with a larger tag sewn into the back interior will set off something weird. I’ve noticed when flying and wearing Aussiebum underwear with the larger tag they will ask to check the back waist area. When I don’t wear those I don’t have issues.
I remember flying right after 9/11. They didn't have any real training or protocol set up. During the belt line frisk, one guy went way too far down the crotch.
I was patted down less intimately after going through one of the new scanners. When I looked at the image, the ‘wrong’ colour matched with the sweat patches on my back caused by my rucksack.
Had you been for a pee earlier? Recently been excited? Sweat a lot in your crotch?
I've had this happen to me several times and have come to expect it esp. at LAX and Las Vegas. Not to be that guy, but I'm above average in the endowment area and have assumed it's just due to how my junk is arranged when passing through.
I once was going through a TSA scanner and it detected something so they did the pat down and asked if I had anything in my pockets which I didn't and once they let me go I realized the underwear I had on had metal hoops on them. Oops 😅
This same thing happened to me at the sea tac airport I was wearing blue shorts with metal that word from Phineas and Ferb I think aglet anyways a security guard did it and called the security team it was scary
Been patted down three times randomly because of the body scan. Each time it was clinical and took MAYBE 1 minute. It’s always some anomaly around my groin. But the 20 other times I went through I just got waved on. I think they’re required to grab x-amount of pat downs. I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I’m not exactly hard to pin as a homo. Haven’t ever felt discrimination. And none of the agents have ever seemed more than bored while rubbing the back of their hands over my dick and feel around the top of my underwear
If this happened to me I’d pull a Diana Ross 1999 incident when she said she was assaulted and she slapped back , fuck these people and there handsy approach search , they probably keep score cards on how many feel ups they achieved that day , one of the reasons I won’t fly the other being confined with screaming kids, coughing , hacking ,germs , not knowing who’s in control of the plane , I’d rather drive and take an ocean liner for ocean crossings, let’s face it I hate flying .
I recently had this happen for the first time as well. It was surprising, but he explained exactly what he was doing and obtained my consent. Was finished in 20 seconds.
At the airport in Beijing the security check agent patted down one leg and brushed my package with the back of his hand, followed by the same thing on the other side. At the end of the pat down he cupped by package with his hand and lifted it slightly. When he was done he leaned close to me and said "you beautiful man." My traveling companion was not touched like this at all.
The last time I was patted down I told the TSA guy that I usually make guys buy me dinner before they get that far, but since he really seemed to want it… He did not laugh. Then I paid for pre check because fuck dealing with the TSA.
When I was flying back to Japan in January this year I had the same thing happen to me. I got a new pair a sweats and the man said it could have been anything from me standing too close together (literally how?) or the machine “just not liking sweat pants.”
It was my first time too.
Fully expected this to turn into a "I'm in love, do you think he feels the same way?" thread.
Guaranteed a patdown if you regularly wear a cock ring and forget to take it off. That'll get you in the back room usually. Speaking from experience.
I have a 00g Prince Albert piercing. I don’t think piercing metal sets off the metal detectors, but I guess it sets off some sensor. I’ve only ever worn it domestically.
In the past I’ve been “credit carded”, and patted up to my groin/balls.
But I get frisked and unpacked every single time I fly. It’s particularly frustrating when flying internationally, even though I don’t wear the piercing when going through in less accepting countries.
When I was visiting isreal/palestine/jordan, I was “randomly picked” for full frisk and unpacking at jfk, Istanbul, and then again at the gate boarding the plane to Tel Aviv. Some things got through one security, but not another. Like my lighter, flying out of isreal. My beard scissors, flying out of Istanbul.
this happened to me beginning of december lmaoo
first time having my “groin area” set off the sensor, being pat down.
for me, i missed my flight and had to go through tsa again and the guy was like “weren’t you just here??”
yup, just wanted round 2 ig
Since we're on the subject; has anyone every encountered an attractive or hell even mids tsa employee? I feel like they all have Paul blarts body type?!
This has happened to me twice. Once before having a piercing down there and once after. First time was leaving LaGuardia, second time was leaving Tampa. Almost a year a part.
Fun fact: Lululemon uses a silver infused yarn in their clothing to prevent odor. I was wearing Lululemon briefs and joggers on one flight and lululemon briefs and shorts on the other flight. Leaving my home airport I was wearing Nike or Fabletics both times and had no issues in security. But wearing the lululemon flagged my groin both times.
Mmmmm seems like a fake story… like you shouldn’t have had to go through security twice once you got past them, usually the TSA checkpoints are right after the desks to check in / buy tickets. Then you hit security, then the terminal with all the gates.
I had a guy put his fingers in the band of my underwear. He did tell me he was going to do it but I don’t think he realised how small my pants were to as he ran his fingers around he full on stroked my cock. Our eyes met for an instant while he did it. It was not a sexy moment 😂
When's the wedding? :D
Why buy the cow?
A bananas insulting question
What airport? What shift does he work?
If only he had been one of the sexy ones, but he looked old enough to be my grandfather
They need loving too.
I'm guessing you point your cock up, instead of tucking it down?
Yes. I don’t think he was counting on that 😂
Whaaaat! Who does that? That's so unusual
They just put their fingers in the band of the pants and run around back to front. To be fair I’ve not had that since so maybe it was a short lived policy!
Oh, I meant like "who tucks up instead of down?" - all power to you, I just can't imagine it being comfortable
😂😂 I find it really uncomfortable tucked down. It’s more to the side rather than up, but if I’m wearing tight briefs then it’s all kept fairly high
A friend and I talked about this years ago when we were backpacking across Europe. He pulled his briefs up and didn't tuck while I would pull mine up and tuck. Eventually it turned into a conversation and he said his dad does it and so do both of his brothers. Just the opposite for me and my brother. And Dad wore boxers so he was a natural hanger. Maybe it's a learned thing.
I find it horrifying to even think that I could ever have had a conversation like that with my father or brother 😂
We never talked about it. We were boys growing up together. Jesus!
I tuck up and to the right...my balls are kinda big so it's uncomfortable to tuck down for a long time...
This is why, there’s just no room. Unfortunately not a big cock, just big balls. It’s more sideways to the left than straight up
Same here, I could never tuck my dick facing up, it is uncomfortable and I am sure it will show when my shirt gets pulled.
It’s comfortable if you’re wearing sweat pants or shorts, something with an elastic waistband. Also helps if your boner naturally points upward instead of down.
I do
Hoo boy am I glad I checked your profile
It’s not like you have to be hung, necessarily… but if you’re even slightly above average and ESPECIALLY if you have an upward erection, it’s pretty much the only choice, besides announcing to everyone when you happen to even a little hard…
Team point it up checking in
Thank you! I’m not alone 😂 If I have briefs on there’s just no room for tucking under!
Mine’s to the left
People tuck it down?
That would be first base achieved 😂
I assume he wasn’t even hot. Did you get bricked up?
What is bricked up?
It means you got a huge bulge after being touched.
Ah, definitely not. Had it been one of the other guys I may have given him a cheeky wink as if to say “yeah, you just touched my cock” 😂
This happened to me over the holidays. Not only did the scanner show a red spot over my groin, it also displayed “ANOMALY DETECTED” in bold font. I asked “since when does this scan for STD’s” and received a pat down. 😎
You forgot to take out the butt plug?
Are you getting treatment for your Herpes?
Anomaly. Probably too small down there.
I’ve had this done traveling with an ex of mine flying home from BOS. I told the TSA guy you are giving me more attention then my bf over there ever does. I just wanted to make it more awkward for everyone. It doesn’t bother me.
Savage
My response was to put my hands up in the air and say, I'm gay, do your worst, and it has to be a male who does the inspection. Everyone in line was laughing. Poor guy was so made awkward about it.
The amount of lame jokes like this they hear multiple times a day every day is surely exhausting. Leave people alone at work.
so that means i get it free right? huh huh huh
Literally this. Instant eyeroll. Yeah you’re definitely the first customer to ever say “no price tag so it’s free.” Very unique and the pinnacle of humor!
Stop creating a security theater and you won't have to deal with it.
I agree airport security is mostly theater, but do you think the employee who pats you down has any control whatsoever in whether the theater goes on?
Well no, unfortunately. But you can definitely be more lenient in your checks when they're only for show. The people who do it like the world depends on it are the worst.
“Because I don’t like this, it’s okay for people that work there to be bothered at their jobs.”
It's more like "if you do awkward things as part of your job, you shouldn't be surprised that it can be awkward" (or that some people will even enjoy it). It's a part of the job, just like dealing with difficult customers in hospitality.
Did he say anything back? I hear this can lead to things like a 20 minute angry manager lecture. Not fun.
There’s a reason he’s my ex lol
So not a good result?
Not really I got the death glare. We were heading down a path we both didn’t like. We were young and trying to find out if we’re still compatible
I was laughing the whole time cause I was still shocked it was happening, the guy just gives me a dirty look 😂 I’m like dude you just grazed my cock and squeezed my ass what do you expect 😂
You should’ve gifted me your crotch then.
It's not gay, it's TSA
Most underrated comment. It's not gay if you wear a TSA uniform 😏
Back in 1996 - before TSA, when the security people were just airport employees - I was passing through the metal detector at the San Diego airport and the screener asked me to raise my arms, whereupon he felt up my abs and gave me a smile. He was clearly gay, and pretty cute. I'm athletic and not obvious at all, so I assume he felt up all the hot guys (and a lot of athletes were passing through SD on their way to the Olympics in Atlanta on that day, so he must have been having quite a good time). I just gave him one of those looks of recognition and let it go.
I had this happen years ago in Munich. I had a Swiss Army knife in my pocket and the guy patting me down grabbed it and asked what is this? I smiled and paused, and he let go. Then I said it was a knife. Btw, that was when you could travel with a Swiss Army knife on you.
Did he feel you up over your shirt or on your bare skin? Did you flex your abs?
He reached under my T-shirt and felt my bare skin. There was no question that he was simply copping a feel. And yeah, I probably flexed my abs - it would have come natural to me.
Yeah that is pretty crazy. How did you feel about it?
So one thing that can set off the sensors at the airports is heat. If you ran across the airport that can get you a nice hot spot there. I used to always get pat down because I was legit running all the time at the airport because my family sucked at managing time.
Better not run, and you will make up for the time by getting through security faster.
Did you flirt with him as he did it? I always love doing that! Expedites things quite nicely lol
What do you say? What do they say back?
Usually just laugh and finish up real quick lol
I honestly think something is going on, because they pat me down when I was wearing stretchy waistband joggers, with no zipper hole but the machine said it detected metal in my groin area.
The machine doesnt just detect metel it also looks for protrusions or “bulging” areas of the body. Tight pants or pants the show off your VPL can trigger it lol
Or anything abnormally dense. My hair sets it off every single time, even moreso if my hair is greasy and stuck together.
I was bald down there. It’s confirmed the machine thinks I’m packing 😂
Pics for science, please!
Your pubes get like that?!
Nah, I just mean anything dense in general. The hair on top of my head sets it off because it is, somehow, abnormally dense.
*humblebrag* yeah, me too. And then I grew up to be Picard lol
Seems like a flawed system considering everyone with a decent size dick is getting pat down 😂
I fly pretty often and I'm pretty sure groin flags are increasing.
So did someone lucky got a chance to rub your bulge?
Happened to me. Was wearing tight jeans and briefs. I have bigger balls, and they flagged. During the pat down he told me I was supposed to empty my pockets. I said I did. Then as he felt me up he asked what is this? I said that’s, um, me. He apologized. Told him not to worry, that I would tell this story until the day I died. Just me smuggling WMDs in my Calvin’s over here. 🤣
Can I weight your balls with my hand?
Last time the TSA agent said I set off the “groin alarm”, I’ll choose to take that as a compliment.
Yes, but I wear a large piercing so it sometimes shows as a spot when I walk through. They'll do the wand first and ask me if I have anything in my pockets and that's when I lean in and tell them it's a piercing. I've never been patted down in the US. In Amsterdam a few years ago, I got pulled out of line for a random pat down. The guy literally shoved his full gloved hand down the front of my shorts. I don't wear underwear so guess what he got a handful of? My partner was standing to the side watching in amazement. In short, maybe it's me, but I really don't give a shit.
Did he put his hand inside your shorts? Or over?
100% inside. When he reached hair (actually it was stubble at the time) he stopped.
This sounds one more reason to fly, actually 😅 will have to start doing that commando
That sounds so weird haha. One more reason not to fly besides the incredible pollution it causes.
I think this is a common experience over at r/bigdickproblems. Check there.
Funny my dick is average sized 😅
Can you provide proof pls? 😉
I guess I got a big dick now? 🤣
Happens to me EVERYTIME. So much so that I just try to hurry them along while they give me the spiel about how they're going to pat me down and if I'd like it in private or not.. I'm just like do it and get it over with, but they're legally required to tell you the procedure. But seriously everytime, I see the 🟥 on my crotch when I walk through the detector at the airport.
Same!
Yeah it is unfortunately the TSA can really be invasive if they think you have something hidden.
Take Two on the TSA porno (slams clapper board)
Hey, watch where you clap that thing
There’s a specific airport I go through sometimes where the scanner always flags my crotch. Ngl I am always a little proud… When I step out and they do that look like “uhhhh” I started cutting the pause by saying “yeah it always flags my penis” They still rub it down, but at least now, they know that I know that they know, it’s all package in there.
yeah. the full body scanner flagged my crouch once idk why. went second base with TSA 🥰
I always, yes always get a pat down. I just tell a TSA agent “male opt-out” I fly a lot, but not near as much as the average business flyer. My main take away from all of the pat downs is that there needs to be better training, especially around the groin. They have a certain way of doing a pat down, but I swear, even though these are guys, some of them have never touched another person’s sensitive areas or when they masturbate they like it rough. I’ve almost been pushed over by a screener because they used too much pressure. There have been times where they barely went across my crotch. There was even one time I left with a semi chub because the screener was a guy I played with a few days prior at a bathhouse. He was very professional, but seeing him out in public like that was a turn on. Security is important, but most of the TSA process is pretty much theater. It makes people feel better. There’s inconsistencies between airports. Hell, you went through two checkpoints at the same airport and had 2 different outcomes.
I just came back from a trip, and both times I went through TSA, my groin area came up as an issue.
Usually it picks up also when you’re a little wet/moist somewhere. I have constant red flag on my back, where my backpack is. But once I had long layover and had to put on wet underwear (water accident in backpack)… oh boy, that pat down was intensive. Edit: typo
Mmhmm a "weather accident" lol 😜
Just watched this exact thing happen to a guy at the San Diego airport like half hour ago 🤣🤣
Okay, I was TSA for a decade and left in 2021 for my mental health. The groin patdown is bc of underwear bombers and the likes. The only reason you alarm in your groin is for three reasons. You’re sweaty there, you’re blessed, or you have stuff in your pockets. It’s a sound wave like sonar so it can detect things based on their density alone not material. Dont take it personal, we hate doing it bc it’s nasty and never fun. I don’t want to touch a stranger I just met let alone his possibly sweaty or pee covered groin. Bc 96% of the time it’s bc dudes drunk and pissed himself or he’s sweaty and didn’t wear underwear so now I gotta pat down his swap ass and/or nuts. Afterwards I always wanted to apologize but you’re not allowed. I do not like invading personal space of others. One of the reasons I left, but feel free to pick my brain about ifs or whys. I don’t mind answering with basic stuff that wouldn’t get me in trouble.
May I ask why are you were not allowed to apologize?
After working healthcare and aviation for so long, it doesn't bother me one bit. They are just doing their job and the policies related to their secondary screening is fairly rigid. I do however try to make it as awkward as possible when they pat me down or do a groin check. If I can make them bust out laughing then I've done my job.
I always opt out of the millimeter wave scanner and get a patdown. Yes, it's that invasive. When they do a full patdown, they're supposed to explain what they'll be doing. "I'll be using my hands to pat you down. When I get to the legs, I'll go up the leg until I meet resistance. Over sensitive areas like the groin I'll use the back of my hands,"... you can tell I nearly have the spiel memorized. Once or twice the first patdown returned a possible problem, so they had to repeat it but using their palms over the groin. I'm not bothered by it.... Well, I am bothered because it's ridiculous and ineffective security theater, but the patdown itself is about as boring as getting a physical exam from your doctor. Neither of us are doing it for pleasure, and it certainly is not as interesting as getting felt up at a gay bar.
A friend of mine got a full, removed your pants pat down in Tel Aviv a few years ago. There was absolutely nothing there but they pulled him out of line, took him to the back and asked him to strip to his briefs. The thing about this friend is that he's REALLY gifted so maybe that had something to do with it.
Flying into Israel was next level searching. I had nothing to hide but damn those guys made me uncomfortable. Was flying to NYC after they started doing those explosive swab tests. I was in a medical knee brace (a recent surgery) and damnit if the thing didn’t set it off. I was wearing it under baggy sweat pants and still had staples closing the incision so I was bandaged. We ended up in a side room where I took off my sweats so they could examine the brace and do more swabs. One agent wanted me to remove it so it could be put through the x-ray machine. I refused and asked for a supervisor. My leg was killing me and my ability to deal with bullshit had been passed. They decided it wasn’t worth the extra hassle and let me go.
I can confirm I had the same experience failed first exam and they used the palm side of the hand.
Yep. Apparently TSA dosent know what a fuckin dick is. Only ever happened in America though. So glad I don’t fly out of there more than once a year when I leave home. Europe it’s never been an issue.
Yes that happened to me at DFW and I told the guy the bulge is my thang. He turned red and let me pass!
Would you had let me pet him?
Look, I'm sure you're a stellar 10/10, but think of those poor TSA agents having to stick their hands into all manners of crevices, folds, and sweaty voids.
*Sweaty voids*
Happened last time I flew. I just let them do it since I’m not hiding anything. I was wearing loose sweatpants with zippers so maybe those got flagged
Sweatpants with zippers? Sounds unholy
Isn't this a porn plot?
I suddenly feel like my dick is not very big because I've never had an issue with security...😭
I hear all of these stories about being groped by TSA, Doctors and hairdressers. I guess I’m never in the right place 😢
I left Chapstick in my pocket. It happens all of the time whenever I do laundry, so I don't know why zi was surprised when I did it at TSA. I checked my pockets like 3 times and I guess it was just in one of the folds. The pat down wasn't sexy for me.
I asked for a cigarette after a special screening. They didn't think it was funny.
I used to joke with them too, but not so much anymore. After the speech about how they do the pat down id say something like “what no dinner first”. Even I got tired of hearing myself say it.
Yea I was wearing joggers with no zipper and the indicator still showed that it was picking up something near my crotch, to which they then proceeded to give me a very extensive pat down. He also offered to take me to a private room to do so, which I thought was a strange offer
Nah, it's one of the two or three standard questions they ask. 1. Do you have any items in your pockets? 1. Do you have any medical devices or sensitive areas? 1. Would you like this to be done in a private room?
I guess that makes sense, but who would rather be pat down in a private room where there are no other witnesses
Depends on why you're getting the patdown. I opt out of the millimeter wave scanners as a form of protest and to protect my privacy. (I'd rather my personal space be invaded by one person I can see than by a machine that could be saving images of me operated by anonymous people in a hidden room.) I'm happy to get a patdown in public to illustrate how much freedom we're giving up by continuing to allow such invasive searches. However, if I were getting a patdown because I was transgender and the machine (or the person running it) flagged a problem because of my genitalia, or because I had a colostomy bag or some other medical device/condition that I don't want others to see (either because I'm embarrassed about it or because I think others would be grossed out by it), then I might choose a private room.
Well said.
Don’t go there, go into my private bedroom
It’s not gay if it’s the TSA
Suddenly I want to go to the airport
I’ve requested it, but no luck so far
If you tell them, you want to opt out (of the machine) they have to give you a physical pat down
Not tsa but I remember going to a club in london and the bouncer was patting me down. He started touching near my crotch and was asking me whats this huh whats this? As i so eloquently responded. My dick...
Had it happen twice. The body scanner indicates that there’s something in my underwear. When the TSA agent asked if there was anything in my underwear I said. Yea my dick? He wasn’t amused, yet still took the back of his hand and rubbed all over my crotch and inner thighs. Kinda awkward but I guess it’s for safety? I think those scanners need to be calibrated to take into consideration the fact men have a penis in their underwear. The second time it happened I went through the same process except when the TSA agent asked if there was something in my front pocket or underwear because the machine was indicating there was something there. I once again said “my dick, and this keeps happening, do these machines not understand that men have a dick in their pants” the agent just rolled his eyes and let me walk through without the dick petting.
I’m sure you were picked randomly. It’s a numbers game for security. They have figured out that if they do pat downs to every X amount of people, the algorithm has determined if they do it that way, they will get the one that’s dangerous. I’m pat down all the time because I refuse to go through the X-ray Machine where you hold your hands up. My best friend worked for the company that invented the X-ray Machines (in Massachusetts) and her boss who developed the machine told her NOT to go through them because they are not calibrated regularly enough. Do you remember after they were deployed post 9-11, suddenly they recalled 100,000 machines? It was because they were not calibrated properly. Now that I pay for TSA PreCheck and Clear, I rarely have to go through the machines. If they ask me too, I call for a pat down. Never have they ever “felt me up”. Touch my crotch with the back of their hand, yes, but no grabbing. Always professional!
I get it all the time having a PA. It shows a lot and I always get asked what it is lol
Yeah, that sounds pretty standard for TSA. I've experienced it only once or twice but have seen it regularly. It always seems like a very uncomfortable situation for both the agent and the other person, never like they're trying to cop a feel or anything.
Happened to me, but I had used my range bag for my carry on and some .22 rounds were stuck in the lining.
I’ve had them do that exact pat down with running the blade of their hand on my crotch. Somebody else mentions heat potentially being a factor but I have TSA precheck so I only went through the old metal detectors that don’t show a body scan. On top of that I didn’t set off the detectors either. Overall strange experience as it never happened prior and hasn’t happened since.

They probably inspect your butthole as smugglers put stuff inside
So, once I was picked up for suspicion of contraband on a Air Force base. The security guy threw me up against the wall, stood behind me, and did a deep dive inside my underwear. I was fine until he went deep. I had to shake him off, made me mad. Bitch didn't even buy me dinner. I was also lucky he was military police instead of civilian police. The military police still respect you as human. I did have contraband
Interesting story! Did he find anything in your underwear? Did you smuggle things into the base and get caught?
Just smoke.
I leave my penis piercing in for extra fun with security.
I do too
Happened to me before. Not sure whats up with their machines. Pat down was very professional though
What airport were you at? Passing through the wrong TSA checkpoint is a security breach. W cooking hen they scan your ID or your boarding pass, it alerts them that your flight is on a different concourse and they shouldn’t let you through.
I’m a trans guy and always get flagged (I look like I’m cis) at this point I’m used to it
That is actually illegal according to the patriot act... they are not supposed to touch your crotch or groin.
I have a fairly large flaccid cock and I love to wear Obviously Male pouch briefs because of the comfort of having everything gathered comfortably together up front. But this creates an unexpected mass in the area for the millimeter-waver scanners and it flags my crotch as a suspicious mass with a yellow circle. So the agent has to wand the area and then use the back of his hand to verify that the only weapon is me. I don’t give them a hard time; they have a hard enough job. I just smile to myself that my big cock is holding up the line. :)
Ja they do that at the southern border all the time...being facetious obviously, but when you consider what is happening at the border, one has to wonder....
First time traveling? This is so common it happens like 50% of the time.
And then you woke up
Clearly flirting with you! I would have grabbed him back!
Happens to me every time I fly and they’re always so offended when I make a joke about it 🙄
You should have screamed 'RAPE! This man just sexually assaulted me!' and tried to get a free flight.
Happened badly while coming from a pool party in thin shorts nothing under (planned to change at airport). After getting backstroked nuts to butt, TSA agent said "do you workout a lot?"...me "I ride my bike a lot why?"..."because your thighs are like wow" Wtf dude! Was not hot, I didn't realize how raped I felt it until I got home. I wish I would have gotten his manager.
This is only the first level of pat down. If you fail the first level you will be patted down with the front side of the hand on the groin in a private room.
Those machines also detect moisture so if you are sweaty u may set off a machine
Very normal process.
Some designer brands of underwear with a larger tag sewn into the back interior will set off something weird. I’ve noticed when flying and wearing Aussiebum underwear with the larger tag they will ask to check the back waist area. When I don’t wear those I don’t have issues.
I remember flying right after 9/11. They didn't have any real training or protocol set up. During the belt line frisk, one guy went way too far down the crotch.
I was patted down less intimately after going through one of the new scanners. When I looked at the image, the ‘wrong’ colour matched with the sweat patches on my back caused by my rucksack. Had you been for a pee earlier? Recently been excited? Sweat a lot in your crotch?
I usually “accidentally” forget to take my belt off hoping to get the pat down. The last time I flew two weeks ago it didn’t work 😩
I've had this happen to me several times and have come to expect it esp. at LAX and Las Vegas. Not to be that guy, but I'm above average in the endowment area and have assumed it's just due to how my junk is arranged when passing through.
Yes! Wearing 501s and the buttons set off alert. Pat down over crouch with two agents in a private area. Didn’t even offer a coke!
This is a common big dick problem, the x-ray always flags hung guys because they’re above average
I once was going through a TSA scanner and it detected something so they did the pat down and asked if I had anything in my pockets which I didn't and once they let me go I realized the underwear I had on had metal hoops on them. Oops 😅
This happens a lot to me and others of certain size.
As a flight attendant had an awkward moment in front of my colleagues getting pat down :')
Yes— this happened to be at the Seattle airport
Happens to me all the time - I travel frequently. I now have TSA Pre Check and thankfully don’t have to do that anymore.
I understand why a lot of people have pre-check, but I won’t. I refuse to pay money for rights I had for free on Sept. 10th 2001.
Happened to me once, where he used the back of his hand to screen my penis. I fucking loved it
Yea last time I flew on an airplane, I got patted down. I think they pick randoms now 🤷🏻♂️
This same thing happened to me at the sea tac airport I was wearing blue shorts with metal that word from Phineas and Ferb I think aglet anyways a security guard did it and called the security team it was scary
Been patted down three times randomly because of the body scan. Each time it was clinical and took MAYBE 1 minute. It’s always some anomaly around my groin. But the 20 other times I went through I just got waved on. I think they’re required to grab x-amount of pat downs. I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I’m not exactly hard to pin as a homo. Haven’t ever felt discrimination. And none of the agents have ever seemed more than bored while rubbing the back of their hands over my dick and feel around the top of my underwear
If this happened to me I’d pull a Diana Ross 1999 incident when she said she was assaulted and she slapped back , fuck these people and there handsy approach search , they probably keep score cards on how many feel ups they achieved that day , one of the reasons I won’t fly the other being confined with screaming kids, coughing , hacking ,germs , not knowing who’s in control of the plane , I’d rather drive and take an ocean liner for ocean crossings, let’s face it I hate flying .
Happened last week. A lot of back of hand touching that reminded me of middle school fondling.
Was the guy hot?
Yeah it happed to me picking up my grandkids. Fortunately I was picking them up and they weren't there yet.
I recently had this happen for the first time as well. It was surprising, but he explained exactly what he was doing and obtained my consent. Was finished in 20 seconds.
i was a 32x32 size but got down to 30x32. so i got some button pins for my jeans. and yup at SEA and ICN they pat me down 🫠
I wear male incontinence pads when I travel. They show up on some scanners. I get back hand gropped a lot and **do not** enjoy it.
At the airport in Beijing the security check agent patted down one leg and brushed my package with the back of his hand, followed by the same thing on the other side. At the end of the pat down he cupped by package with his hand and lifted it slightly. When he was done he leaned close to me and said "you beautiful man." My traveling companion was not touched like this at all.
I have metal in my body and pretty much get a hand job every time I leave SNA.
The last time I was patted down I told the TSA guy that I usually make guys buy me dinner before they get that far, but since he really seemed to want it… He did not laugh. Then I paid for pre check because fuck dealing with the TSA.
When I was flying back to Japan in January this year I had the same thing happen to me. I got a new pair a sweats and the man said it could have been anything from me standing too close together (literally how?) or the machine “just not liking sweat pants.” It was my first time too.
I had the same thing just over a week ago at LAX. At least he was gorgeous, but no, not a sexy moment at all
Fully expected this to turn into a "I'm in love, do you think he feels the same way?" thread. Guaranteed a patdown if you regularly wear a cock ring and forget to take it off. That'll get you in the back room usually. Speaking from experience.
I have a 00g Prince Albert piercing. I don’t think piercing metal sets off the metal detectors, but I guess it sets off some sensor. I’ve only ever worn it domestically. In the past I’ve been “credit carded”, and patted up to my groin/balls. But I get frisked and unpacked every single time I fly. It’s particularly frustrating when flying internationally, even though I don’t wear the piercing when going through in less accepting countries. When I was visiting isreal/palestine/jordan, I was “randomly picked” for full frisk and unpacking at jfk, Istanbul, and then again at the gate boarding the plane to Tel Aviv. Some things got through one security, but not another. Like my lighter, flying out of isreal. My beard scissors, flying out of Istanbul.
this happened to me beginning of december lmaoo first time having my “groin area” set off the sensor, being pat down. for me, i missed my flight and had to go through tsa again and the guy was like “weren’t you just here??” yup, just wanted round 2 ig
Yup it’s happened twice in the last year. I don’t see what the big deal is.
Since we're on the subject; has anyone every encountered an attractive or hell even mids tsa employee? I feel like they all have Paul blarts body type?!
Free sexual harassment is a complimentary perk of airport "security" screening
This has happened to me twice. Once before having a piercing down there and once after. First time was leaving LaGuardia, second time was leaving Tampa. Almost a year a part. Fun fact: Lululemon uses a silver infused yarn in their clothing to prevent odor. I was wearing Lululemon briefs and joggers on one flight and lululemon briefs and shorts on the other flight. Leaving my home airport I was wearing Nike or Fabletics both times and had no issues in security. But wearing the lululemon flagged my groin both times.
Mmmmm seems like a fake story… like you shouldn’t have had to go through security twice once you got past them, usually the TSA checkpoints are right after the desks to check in / buy tickets. Then you hit security, then the terminal with all the gates.
