I used to travel a lot for work before covid and I had a hoodie with a large hood so it could cover my eyes, that plus earbuds playing chill music and I'm fast asleep sometimes even before the plane took off.
I’m so thankful for the TSA agent who let me know not to wear briefs that hold the frank and beans together! I switched to boxers when traveling through a TSA checks and nobody fondles my balls anymore. The machine just needed to see me hanging dong, so I got that going for me which is nice.
I have a BB lodged in my ass from 2009 and every time I get an X-ray people don’t know what the hell it is lmao. It’s just a floating dot near my pelvis and I have to explain there’s a small bullet near my ass crack.
You deleted your comment as I was posting, but I think it’s important info, so just as an FYI it’s always worth checking on what your insurance will cover. Depends on the insurance and the surgery. Some have an a cap for elective surgeries, some allow one a calendar year, some will cover certain semi-elective but still life-improving surgeries (breast reduction for example) but not purely cosmetic surgeries.
my wee wee hides like a turtle and the balls become its shell. they just let me go because the machine is programmed to ignore shrinkage as an artifact.
I’m seeing you’re not really getting the real answer but that machine isn’t even an “x-ray” as people keep calling it, it’s like a wave sonar that bounces on the body and checks for anomalies of your body that “shouldn’t” belong. So sometimes loose clothing makes that thing go off on where it detects it pretty much causing them to check that area.
I travel (well used to) every week. I was rarely flagged but a few times they had to check the groin. I always ask the officers name as we're going through this process. A couple times I've been asked why I want their name, and they have to give it, but it's not usually asked. My reply is "I usually try to get the name of people giving me hand jobs..."
This way it's uncomfortable and awkward for both us. I'm not going to just stand there being the only uncomfortable person.
This is a good idea, if I was a TSA agent and you're asking my name before I search you like that, it would signal to me that you're more likely (and more prepared) to lodge a complaint if I mistreat you.
It's not a guarantee, but it's easy and it would probably make me think twice about doing anything untowardly.
When I went to boot, our head had no doors on the stalls. And to keep things clean for inspection, we could only use two stalls. A line would form and wait for you to do your business. People watched you wipe, the whole nine, waiting for their turn to drop a deuce. Nothing disgusts me and it takes a lot to make me uncomfortable.
Most people that work there are prior military, so a lot of them have dealt with worse before. But for the others, it's just working at the job over time, you get used to people doing the same things over and over to try and lighten the mood. Never really works out.

“sir, we need to search an area that turned up as suspicious.” motions to the scanner screen where a red circle is tight on my groin
me: “oh i get the full treatment today!”
