Wow. First time on an airplane since my implants. Did the put your feet on the spot on floor, arms above head and the machine did its thing. My crotch lit up in yellows and red on the computer screen for everyone to see. So I hope you are not self conscious. Significant bulge in jeans to.

Of course I got the we are going to have to pat you down. That guy did a thorough job. I just said thats all me. I did get a grin from one of the female tsa persons and a laugh from the guy. He asked if I needed privacy. I said if you are brave enough to do it in the line, I have issue being groped at all. Not the least bit shy.

No issues otherwise and I never mentioned a thing about whats in my pants.

Then there is this thread

I guess some airports are using more sensitive equipment than in the past.

Tangerine has some things to say about TSA and implant in chapter 36

Normally the let me pass with no issue. First couple of time going through the Madison, WI airport I got a simple pat down but I wen so much the got to know me and then the pat downs stopped. The airport in NOLA was different. Got the simple pat down and the back room search where they got me down to my jockeys. They were very professional and interested in what it was and why. The older guy, looked about my age, said he had a "family member" with issues after prostate CA. Maybe there will be a new member to the brotherhood.

When you trip the scanner for groin anomaly, they flip the screen around to justify the impending pat down of the area. Folks in line all get to see the stick man with his crotch lit up. Get that every time through the scanner.

Wow how embarrassing ! I haven’t traveled yet but, will make sure it’s not with my kids.

What airport(s)? Have you ever gone through any other airports? Do they all light up for yuu?

Curious: what model of scanner. Can you ask?

As I recall there were 2 or 3 airports where I was flagged. I know for certain that one was BWI which is my home airport. I have global entry which gets me to the pre check line where you pass through a magnetometer rather than the full body scanner, however occasionally the pre check line is closed and I am routed through the X-ray. I don’t know the model of the unit, but recommend the Global Entry or Pre-check programs as they are well worth the expense if you travel with any frequency and priceless if you are implanted.

Thank you for the swift answer.

I wonder if it is possible there is something different about the saline solution inside you implant that sets of detectors than in other implanted men's implants? This is a mystery. If I ever fly through BWI, I will have to check out their scanner bu having it check me out.

I suspect that the flaccid length trips any detection algorithms. My flaccid and erect length is almost the same post implant, and when looking at size statistics on flaccid and erect lengths, any flaccid length over 6 inches is one per million and over 8 inches lists as statistically impossible.
