If youâre trans and you use a packer or breastforms on a day to day basis, do not use them at the airport. The body scanners that the TSA uses look for variations from a âmaleâ or âfemaleâ body, so if you have bulges where they âshouldnâtâ be, you will get the patdown.
signal boost this, please.
thereâs a page on the TSAâs website that has tips and info specifically for trans travelers!! I canât remember everything it has on it but one of the big things is that if you get flagged for a patdown or other screening you can have it done in private if you so request :) :)
Here is that page for reference :)
