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

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?

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

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

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

  • 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?

  • Why exactly would you need to carry that with you?

    • 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.

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

  • "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.

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

  • 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

  • You took a dildo with you on an overnight trip?
