I was massaged two weeks ago by TSA after I accidentally went through the scanner with an empty gum wrapper in my pocket. I showed him it was a gum wrapper, but he refused to let me go back through the machine. Said it is too late. He groined me and assed me. Then did a swab on the gum wrapper.

Anyone else have similar TSA experiences?

Here's a fox news article about foiled gum wrappers.

quote:

THE OFFENDER: ALUMINUM FOIL WRAPPERS

Why they catch attention: Nothing escapes the metal-detecting prowess of airport security systems—not even something as miniscule as a foil wrapper. Many manufacturers of chewing gum, candy, and cigarettes have caught on and made the transition from metallic wrap to paper, but the hold-outs can put a kink in your smooth passage through airport checkpoints.

What to do: Empty your pockets of any and all offending foil before passing through a metal detector.



Ok so it is common enough for Fox to write a story about it.

So when you turn out your pockets after going through the machine and the wrapper is removed, WTF won't they let you go back through?

I got the full rubdown at DCA last time I flew through there because I was wearing a long tunic....and I had exactly ONE swallow of water left in a collapsible water bottle. I offered to drink it on the spot....NO. I had to submit to the invasive pat down, exit security, drink the water, and then re-enter. Bah.

This is why you always ask for music and mood lighting for your patdown.
