Did this this TSA guy at the airport violate my privacy? Should I say something to someone who works there?

[Anonymous]

I flew out of town for an overnight work confrence and got back this morning. All that I brought with me was a small overnight bad that I carried on the plane. When I went through the bag check the TSA guy asked to look in my bag after it went through the scanner. He brought me to a side room where he opened my bag up and started looking through it and another TSA guy was standing there with us. He began taking stuff out of my bag including my bra and panties and when he got to the bottom of the bag he saw that I had a sex toy in there. He picked it up and looked at it like he didn't know what it was, It was obviosly a dildo and I dont know why he had to pick it up to see that. I was pretty embarrassed when he did that and the other guy in the room saw as well. Was this completly necessary for them to do this? I feel like you should have to pick up my bra, panties, and dildo to see I am not a terrorist, or someone looking to cause harm. Do you think they went to far?

#4. You Will Have To Bring Literal Bags Of Dicks Through Airport Security
Lily has to travel to jobs around the world in order to keep her calendar full: "I've done New York, Jersey, Miami, Prague, Toronto, San Francisco, Vegas, and I'm maybe doing Croatia in June." We'd be failing miserably in our journalistic duties if we didn't mention that the porn she was filming in New York was Mormon-themed, " ... complete with magic underwear."
Remember what we said about porn stars being "independent contractors"? That doesn't only affect healthcare. You may also have to bring your own tools to the trade:

"About every time I go through the airport... I usually have a bunch of dicks on my bag. And about every other time, someone says,

"'We need to search your bag, ma'am.'

"I just tell them, 'It's a bunch of sex toys.'

One time, I noticed a screener making a face, so I said something. 'You guys stop me a lot. Do you get a lot of dick-shaped threats to national security?'

"'We have to check it. It's a hard, solid mass.'"

Apparently, the TSA doesn't appreciate childish snickering.

That might be why

[broadsword]

iam sorry for your embarrassment but what they did during the search is with executable boundaries. Never underestimate terrorists if you were embarrassed then this makes it a good avenue for a terrorist to use. The outer shell of a dildo would contain enough explosive to bring down a plane. Please try to understand national security goes way beyond self dignity.

It was right if they feel it was right. Brussels was just bombed and 31 people we murdered. Not only that, hundreds of people are injured and some seriously. Your embarrassment about a bra, knickers and a dildo is not comparable to those 31 people who were murdered by people also claiming not to be terrorist. Put it into perspective.

[abundantlyrich]

They check anything that is a device with batteries in it. I once went the security check and they got very alarmed about my battery charger. They pulled the wire off for some reason? They did think i had a bomb set up in my carry bag.

That guy was an idiot lololol

[Just1n123]

He didn't violate your privacy, he was doing his job by looking for anything suspicious.

[AustinMan]

All you'll probably do by making a big deal out of this is get your name flagged for future flights. I suggest letting it go.

[accomplice]

When you're at an airport, they are allowed to search anything they want. They did it in a private room (affording you privacy) and with another agent present (a precaution against improper behavior). It doesn't sound to me that they went too far.

[SexyStudent]

No we did not go too far that's his job

[OlderAndWiser]

If you were a terrorist, disguising a bomb as a dildo would be clever, wouldn't it? Experience is a great teacher.

[Red_Arrow]

Except it would be hell if it went off while she was using it.

[madhatters4]

uh no he didn't violate your privacy. you may be embarrassed but that is part of their job. i imagine in the scanner the dildo is an object that raises a red flag. there could be things inside of it.

[Red_Arrow]

Going to have to buy a Fleshlight just so I can put it in my carry-on when I travel. lol. And throw in some butt-pads and also get a penis extender to put in there.

[thewanderingme]

no. he was doing his job properly. I had a vibrator taken out of a bag before too. it is possible he couldn't tell what it was from the view in the scanner. be glad he cares enough to thoroughly screen people. he's keeping you safe.

[TadCurious]

What they did was fair game as far as their official duties. The fact that it made you feel embarrassed is regrettable, but that's not their primary concern. Anything you have in a bag can be searched through and looked at. That's the world we live in now.

[joeb73]

any more they could use anything to hide something including your little friend. the batterys and wires is why they checked.

[CHARismatic110]

That's their job. They're probably just as uncomfortable as you, but they have to do that. They can't cut corners on that type of stuff. One of my good friends works for TSA and some of he stories she's tells me is crazy.

[frozenhorizon]

Actually he totally did violate your privacy but you probably can't do anything about it because those laws are fucked up.

[starryeyedkitten]

Yes they always go too far with that ort of stuff, but their boss wil always back their actions up. I really hate TSA

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

why would you bring sex toys in a fucking overnight bag?

[Asker]

well because I was planning on using it. I didn't think they would worry about it being a bomb.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

let's rephrase that; why would you be stupid enough to put it in a carryon for an overnight trip? it's called an overnight trip cause it's 1 night. you couldn't go without it 1 night? if it was for a couple days or so and you had to bring a suitcase, then you'd put it in your suitcase. but you wouldn't think that a) it might get checked? ok, that's understandable... besides, they already would see it through a scanner b) it could fall out at any point? like, say you drop it and all your shit magically spills out c) i work in 3's and 5's so you this 1 is pretty pointless, actually

[PartialisticMan]

No it was definitely a safety precaution don't worry :)

[atomique]

They maybe a necessary evil

[atomique]

Having my crotch felt up by a male agent in public is so uncool and embarrassing

[BoobMan]

It's his job. Besides, it's not like your sex toys should be off limits to search. That's just going to lead to ISIS using exploding dick bombs to take down planes. And no one wants that.

[fueledbythc]

It's their job. Probably busted sex toys with drugs in them

[RationalMale]

Stuff like this is why everyone hates the TSA.

[madhatters4]

i'm sure people would hate bombs going off in airports more though right? i guess you'd call them a necessary evil

[GreatnessRevamped]

Seriously, what are you going to do about it. Report he was mishandling your dildo.
Next time, don't pack a dildo. It looks like a weapon (and it kind of is)

[iFarted]

No they did not.
A dildo can be a deadly weapon!

[Dred1614]

They always go too far. Sorry to hear that story.

[LordBlakeh]

He was doing his job, terrorists are not to be underestimated they are clever. This is all standard procedure.

[Prince_teddy4u]

No. He didn't violate your privacy. It was his duty to check everything.

[TrustyGuide]

At least they didn't dump your stuff out in front of a crowd of people. I saw that happen once and the poor girl looked mortified. I pretended not to notice. When I travel I assume everything I have may be scrutinized. The TSA is a bunch of goons. Don't you feel safe?

[jmmmfi2]

Why exactly would you need to carry that with you?

[Asker]

Well I normally bring it with me because I use it even on overnight trips, Its never been searched before and thats why I didn't think it would be a big deal.

[Anonymous]

No, they have the right to search anything at any time.

[Anonymous]

"Was this completly necessary for them to do this?"

Yepp, for them to do their jobs and to keep people secure... well, trying their best to keep people secure.

[Anonymous]

Well in the scanner I'm sure it looked odd and possible weapon that's why they checked it.

[Anonymous]

Everything they did is purfectly league my advice is a dildo looks like a dinomite stick or a Large callaber bullet in a x ray so that's Why you got selected plus there was a girl that hollowed out a dildo and used it to smuggle drugs

[Anonymous]

You took a dildo with you on an overnight trip?
