Pocket Ninja: I believe this completely and without question.

Nailed it on the bewbies.

/Wait, that isn't how they work...

It was surely just a neck massager!

I'm really getting a kick out of this because right now...ooohh

Quasar: If true, "amusing"? Really? That's incredibly unprofessional and makes the whole process even more invasive than it is.

Doesn't that describe the TSA as a whole? Incredibly unprofessional and even more invasive than it should be.

I miss the days when American's had balls.

Was it "The Great American Challenge"?

Without reading the article my guess is the TSA agent was a petite, honey blonde, fair skinned girl named Michelle?

basemetal: I wonder if the agent looked her up with a google search after work.

Meh. Based on the note, I'm going to assume that the searcher was a gay guy or a woman.

Amusing? Yes.
Unprofessional? Yes.
Embarrassing? Shouldn't be.

CHECKED BAGS GET SEARCHED. If somebody pawing through your unmentionables makes you start clutching your pearls and hyperventilating, don't pack them.

This is the most humanity I've seen from the TSA in ten years, and I approve wholeheartedly.

This sort of thing isn't my bag, baby.

I don't even know what this is! This sort of thing ain't my bag, baby.

This is what happens when you employ people unfit to take a shift at the 7/11

thought it was missy elliot

Maybe Mojo Nixon could sing a song about this?

American's what had balls?

I have to go through a metal detector to get into work, since Congress has some offices in here. Not 20 minutes ago I got stopped because they thought a bottle of Cholula was suspicious.

/not even a cool story, bro

TSA agents acting unprofessionally? Color me SHOCKED.

_{/has been treated unprofessionally by TSA agents on more than one occasion}

Whenever I travel, I always make sure to pack a small bag filled with two boxes of condoms and 12 slips of paper with made-up womens' names and addresses. If someone's going through my stuff, I want them to think I'm awesome.

Next time I fly, I'm going to bring a big bag of dildos. Then I'm going to pray for a random extra inspection.

/not ballsy enough to actually follow through.

Before someone yells at you for Farking on Gov't time, I'd just like you to clarify if you indeed actually work for the gov't in some capacity :P - if not, carry on!

/if so, carry on as well, those jobs must be hellish...

a 30 pack of magnums too :)

hailin: I think it is funny. If she was so embarrassed maybe she shouldn't be carrying "embarrassing" personal items in her luggage. I wouldn't be embarrassed if this happened to me and would even take it as a joke like it is clearly meant to be.

Even if they wrote a note in there telling you to get your freak on?

Quasar: If true, "amusing"? Really? That's incredibly unprofessional and makes the whole process even more invasive than it is.

The TSA had made it apparent that nothing you take into an airport is private. Everything is already disclosed to any number of people who work there. What, exactly, is the effective boundary of a TSA agent's professionalism, or your own privacy?

StrikitRich:

When did Mojo Nixon turn into an overweight Jimmy Buffett?

I once went to visit a girl and bought a brand new vibrator to take with me to give her. The customs guy asked me what my trip was for and I told him "for pleasure".

Later, when he was searching my suitcase (with me standing there) he opened the brown paper bag, peeked in, looked at me, and put it back in my case.

All I could say was "I told you I was going for pleasure."

/CSB

lennavan: I did.

I'd fill her povic.

It's a dildo. Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.

As someone going on travel week after next, i'm thinking about doing this.

"Feministe bloggeressa"? That sound super biatchy.

I can't joke, neither should they be able to. If they want this process to be serious, they should be held responsible as well.

Of course this isn't true. The TSA agent would be immediately dismissed were the alleged passenger to make a complaint.

I'm telling ya baby, that's not mine.

Came for this, leaving satisfied.

TSA Agent in question?

You'd have to think that TSA agents find those "personal items" all the time. I wonder if it was a particularly weird dildo, some kind of monster phallus or a replica of a forearm and fist, or something like that. Something that really made the TSA agent stop and go, "holy shiat, this chick must be completely hollow to make room for this."

Surprised said TSA agent didn't take a picture of the toy and put it on Twitter
