There was a hot chick that got stopped close by when I went through on the other side of the machine. The screen is right there for all to see. It shows boxes over my crotch and all see it. I\'m told to go back in and pull my sweats up high as possible. Now I have a ridiculously huge bulge and it looks like I stuffed a sock down my pants. I\'m getting the pat down from now on.

I was wearing jeans.

PMMA and Silicone may show up as more dense than usual in these particular areas and hence it gets flagged. Yellow box is mild alert. Red box, cavity search time...LOL

Yep, then when you get the \"big bulge alarm\" you get sent to this guy:

I know this can\'t be funny to straight guys - but it cracks my gay ass up so bad... more because it\'s just like ... how desperate and pathetic are some gay men that this is how they are getting off? But at the same time, would I do the same thing if I worked for the TSA because wtf else about my job would be rewarding? Hmm... during my \"hole in the side of my penis\" days, I certainly wasn\'t getting anything better.

I went through security no problems. I turn around and see the yellow square over his package and they make him pull up his pants and go through again. To be the guy who has to pull up his pants at security . . .

The guy asked if there was \"anything going on\" and I told him flat that I just had penis surgery to enhance my Girth. I got through without further issue. I\'ve flown about a million times since. Never without issue. I wonder if it is an AI that recognizes that your body is different. Not sure.

Even a 45 minute MRI scan barely shows anything (with gadolinium contrast). The radiologist didn\'t even think it was a foreign body - rather a reaction to the surgery I had in 2013 for Peyronie\'s.

That scanner (which might as well be a toy compared to an MRI) at the airport is just picking up minor variances like hunkydory said... it\'s not your PMMA. I went through that thing w/ the silicone sleeve on once. Nothing got flagged.

It flagged my pants once - when the pocket was folded weirdly and bunched up...it\'s sort of meaningless.

Visitor	lol, I just had the same experience 3 days ago and saw the yellow box- I am natural these days down there. It may just be the temp of your penis is different from the rest of your body or something. He didn\'t take it too seriously and waved me on.
