Denise

So I'm leaving in a key plane...

I didn't check my dilators; they are in my carry on.

Boy did the agent stare at my bag for a long time. [emoji1787] If they were pulled out, I was prepared to say in a loud voice "those are to prevent vaginal scaring after surgery.  Would you like to see how to use them?" (Okay I may have left off the last part.)

Thank you for the early morning chuckle! I bet the agent got a good kick out of the sight.

I'm not sure what I would do if I got questioned, hopefully maintain a sense of humor!

Always carry mine in my carry on.  I have only been asked to open them once when leaving New Zealand as they were concerned that they might be candles.  The officer asked what they were before she unzipped the case and I just said they are my dilators and she went "Oh, that's Ok then" and we carried on!

Mine have gone through screening in Melbourne & Sydney (lots of times), Auckland, Wellington, Hong Kong, Malaga, Singapore, Seoul and only the once in Wellington were they mentioned.  Oh well!

lol They were getting ready to search me and this guy suddenly paused . . .

looked me in eye then seriously asked "are you a man or a woman?"

Off guard I hesitated, smiled . . . then he actually asked me again!
"But it's no use now," thought poor Alice, "to pretend be two people!
"Why, there's hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!"

Just take the few you need with you and say, "What you've never seen a dildo before?"

This is especially funny when said to the male agents.

You re really mean girls!  Messing up with the heads of those poor TSA guys.  They probably go home at night and are not being able to help their female partners for an entire week after this!  Remember, guys can be very sensitive about those things!  >:-)

I'm paranoid that the airlines will lose it so I'll make the scene.

I used to have a leather tag on my carry on backpack that was stamped with "I love a good TSA patdown."  One day I forgot a drink of some sort in my bag and it got tagged by the X-ray operator for extra inspection.  The lady who had to dig through it looked at the tag, made the best "I ain't got time for this crap" look, and then asked who the bag belonged to.

Sometimes you just have to appreciate the little things when traveling constantly for work.  I also packed my dilators in my checked bag just to avoid a hassle since I wrapped them up as a kit with wet wipes and lubricant.

I used to fly a LOT, in 2017 I did the math and it ended up being 1.75 flights per week.  I did similar amounts of flying for 5 years and only ever had one bag delayed.

Perhaps avoiding United Airlines like the plague had something to do with it, but still I think the lost bag fear is way overblown.

I flew a lot for work too but not quite that much. I had one bag delayed and one that flat out was lost in a year. This was with Delta though ... I hate them.

The worst part about Delta (thanks to their love affair with ancient MD80s) is being stuck in Detroit when your 30 year old plane breaks down.

Which reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from Kentucky Fried Movie:

Of course. The best is when they see the actual vibrator and turn it on and realize what it is ROFLMAO!
