Damn the TSA and their body scanners

TSA Finds 'An Anomaly' In Rapper's Pants


Legendary rapper Kurtis Blow, 51, was busted Thursday morning at Los Angeles International Airport after a TSA body scanner detected "an anomaly" in his pants, which turned out to be a bag of marijuana.





Law enforcement sources told website TMZ that after the new body scanner detected an item in his pocket, a resulting pat-down revealed the weed.


Blow, real name Kurtis Walker Combs, who now says he is a pastor, got a ticket for marijuana possession -- after all, an ounce or under of pot is decriminalized in California -- and went, weedless, on his way.


Pot-loving travelers beware: The TSA is in the process of installing more than 400 body scanners in 70 airports across the United States.


I may have to rethink my traveling strategies. :icon_scratch:

 

Didn't someone on here say that they hid their stash under their sac? I know the scanners can see body part shapes, but can they see through? Or inside? As a chick, I've got a good hiding place if need be.....

IM not possitive but I think they said it will pickup a hidden object. Ha ha might be kind of embarrassing to be strip searched!!!

I just flew yesterday and I took a 1/4 of the stinkiest Trainwreck I have.LOL I could smell it.


They did have the "full body scanners" up and running, but I traveled with my dog, so I had to carry her through the regular detector. I guess that helped me avoid the "FBS's"


I know for a fact that the "FBS's" CAN'T detect a tampoon or abortion scar tissue. It ONLY scans throught the clothing, not the skin.


You have the choice to opt for a pat down and they'd be hard pressed to detect it in my pants just by feling me up . . . I do have other stuff in there.


This Rapper is a fool for carrying it in his pocket. Simple as that.


PUT IT DOWN YOUR PANTS AND OPT FOR THE PAT DOWN IS ASKED TO USE THE "FBS'S". If your only carrying a small amount, you should be ok.


On a side note, once you get on the plane and place your weed in a more comfortable place, like your carry on bag, IT WILL STINK UP THE ENTIRE OVERHEAD STORAGE AREA.


So, if by chance your plane has a hydraulic failure and the landing gear have to be manually lowered, and you return to your originating airport to circle the tower so theycan verify the gear is down. And when you land the firetrucks are waiting on the runway. They when you open the overhead and it stinks terribly, noone will really notice because they're all glad to be alive and weed smell isn't the top proority for anyone. Otherwise be cautious with smellly pot.:alienwink:

 

Me too. :thumbs-up: :roffl: I've been traveling a LOT lately and out of my 6 strains I have, NONE of them are NOT stinky. :icon_confused:


I usually take a couple grams. Double bag, tape, and bury deep under areas only my wife dares venture


I can usually catch whiffs while I'm in the security line. I've heard a person say "you smell that" to someone else. :roffl: Once I get through security, I go to the bathroom and put the baggie in my backpack. I have a bubble wrap envelope that it goes in. Then it goes inside a zipper pocket that's inside a bigger zipper pocket that has another zipper pocket on top of that.


When I, or anyone else, opens the overhead bin at the end of the flight it STINKS!!.


It's actually a problem I need to address and solve in order to continue to bring my medicine along when I travel.

 

They can see every detail, reportedly down to if a man is circumcised or not. And if they invert the image, it's in full color.


Can't get inside yet. We'll have to wait for a boob bomber before that tech is introduced.

 

So hoping they don't put one of the new 400 in Sac International this month. I wont have anything on me, I just feel that is incredibly wrong.

 

joe and rcky I hear you the ONLY way I have found is a cigar tube in a baggie to KILL the smell but yes i have rolled more than twice just double bagged under my bag. I do recommend anyone that is carrying something in their undies to go buy undies that are atleast one size too small. It's very comforting to have it be snugged up rather than fall out your pant leg while exiting the high speed tram that takes you to the terminal forcing you to soccer it into the nearest wall and pray to god no one just saw or realized what that was...Steelcity

 

LOL@ SCS . . . I agree on the tighter underwear. I wore my tighty blue's. I need to get me some "tighty tye dyes"


The Formorian - Thats just plain untrue. The reality is that if a man wears "boxers" it WILL show an outline of his member hanging out in space with no other skin behind or in front of it.


It doesn't detect wrinkles or the "shapelyness" of male or females.


It can't tell if someone has big tits or a big dick as long as it isn't exposed at a side angle, but right now they only do front and back images.


I've been researching this throughly for my trip and I am VERY sure that these are the facts and not the myths.


They can tell is someone has a peircing though.


AverageJoe - I messed up by NOT having a secure "smellless" place to put the weed once I passed through security. I put it right in my carry on in the zipper pouch. Not next time!;spin:


ResinRubber - You feeling lonely or are you all hopped up on THC and becoming sex crazed like Reffer Madness spoke of?:rofl6:


:alienwink:

 

:roffl: :roffl: :roffl:


Silly Res! If he only knew what a complete pain in the ass me, and women like myself are!!!!

:XXhippylove:

 

Can you not mail packages to yourself with the address of the hotel and room listed on the package? Maybe call them beforehand and say you are getting a business proposal or something?


Resin, I've already told my wife that the next time we fly I am doing everything I can to get a boner before I opt out of the scanners and get felt up.......

 

Are you an unemployed pervert? Do you want to legally molest? Then do we have the opportunity of a life time for you as a TSA agent.

 

No hate to anyone. And no i did not read previous posts.


But that pastor guy is a fking idiot.


And two I think everyone should be scanned, checked, funddled, and sexually assululted..... Because thats how you find hidden bombs.


And their is alot of ass holes that have clever ways of getting bombs on planes


so im sorry you have to be searched and butt probed..... But its either you flyin or you not flyin. Because i sear dont want to be on the last flight of my life.


Not to piss ppl off...

 

So what happens when some dickhole blows himself up at a mall? Do we search every person at the door? Where does it end?


I'm a frequent traveler and have to deal with this shit on a daily basis. I for one, think it's bullshit and the only thing it accomplishes is to desensitize the American public to accept this type of intrusive violation of our rights as the norm. It's political grandstanding.

 

Wow Joe you really made me laugh with last few pics.


I feel you side on this matter. I dont fly often, so i can agree with the constant daily rutine of butt probing and zipper assistance.

 

Man Wtf I have never once been patted down but who wants to fuck with the loudmouth who already smells like booze and is probably carry drugs so he can party on vacation. I walk through the metal detector smile then grab my gray plastic container and recompartmentalize my sunglasses, wallet and phone which is all I carry on my persons going into the terminal. I always wear sweat pants or athletic shorts no metal at all my fillings and the iron in my blood. I stumble right through. I don't like to fly that much so i drink and eat xanax before i even get to the airport. By the time i get to my seat on the plane i can barely keep my eyes open I wake up usually about 4-5 hrs later. If i ever have to fly to hawaii i'm gonna need to take a valium before and a xanax right as we take off I'll be out for atleast 8 hrs then only semicoherent till the next day.


Joe I don't know how you do it I would have to carry a tic tac container full of xanax bars on hand if I was you...Steelcity

 

Tick tack box of xanax...is halarious... :mashed:


Ill like your way of traveling...
