IMPLANTS AND TSA...WARNING!

[TomW46]

I've flown many times with each implant.

Since you've had both, can you comment on the LGX compared to the Titan?

My implant was picked by the full body scanner this morning. Fortunately I had my implant card with me. Nonetheless I had to have private room pat down. The TSA agent said the implant will always show up in the full body scanner and always allow extra time for check in on future flights.

Should implanted buys opt out of the full-body scanner and request a manual pat-down to avoid having the implant detected?

Interesting stuff here. I've probably flown 50-60 times domestically and all over Europe since implant and never once even had a pat down, or been stopped to ask about it.
I did lose 2" from the surgery so all I can say is that either mine is too small and/or all you guys are such BIG boys that you have received this kind of treatment! Lucky/Unlucky You...

I get patted down about 50% of the time in the U.S. It seems more common if I am wearing boxers and thus hanging down.

interesting point about the boxers and the body scanner. This makes a lot of sense. So, if you want to maximize getting through the body scanner with no pat-down, maybe wearing tighter underwear which holds penis straight up or tighter to the body might be good ? Seems to make sense.

By the way, I am surprised that some have had issue with TSA and the implant. I have never had an issue requiring any verbal explanation. The worst I have had is just a minor pat down, and

NOBODY has tried to touch my junk, at least none of the TSA boys have, -- flight attendants, that is a different matter !

I dont understand the reason for the grouping/stripsearch/ intense pat down, the body scanner will show it attached. Unles they are so dumb to tn8ng the cylinders are b9ms and the tubing wires. The wand should verify very little metal

to think the cylinders are bombs and the tubing wires.

I don't think any jihad-motivated terrorist would be willing to put a bomb in his penis. When he gets to the afterlife, what does he think he will do with his 72 virgins?

I think that is the difference. Looking at the posts in this thread, anyone who is 24 cm or less gets through security TSA as if they were "regular mortal males" .

However, when the body scanner picks up a dick that has an implant bigger than 24 cm, the person reviewing the scan thinks "No way. That is super natural, There is no male on earth with that level of endownment !" And they push the button for extra screening (maybe out of jealousy).
