An embarrassing moment

[Anne]

I was not thinking ahead when I dressed for a trip one morning. I put on Victoria Secret bikini panties. They have two metal rings on each side holding them together. When I went through security at the airport, I set off the alarm.  I had to lower my shorts on one side to show them the rings.  Everyone around me had a good laugh at my expense.  Even later when I boarded the plane a few people whispered and snickered as I walked past them.

I had a similar experience.  I was done with a business trip (stressful) and felt the need to relax on the flight home.  I under-dressed in a panty and bra (no underwire) put on a thick hoodie. TSA used the body scanner on me I was pulled aside. TSA did one of those back handed searches across by back.  He felt the bra strap and the check both shoulders for bra straps.  I softly said it was a bra. He acknowledged my comment and said enjoy your day. I was mortified.

But why be mortified?  You are just one of thousands of people the TSA guy will see.  Putting this in perspective, he's already forgotten about you.  Be proud of yourself and I hope you enjoyed the rest of that day.
