 [h3]New TSA restrictions and sex toys: whither the lube?         [/h3] The new "no liquids or gels" restrictions mean you can't tote your KY jelly on-board (heavens to Murgatroid, whatever shall we do?), and you may want to think carefully about where you pack that vegan Hello Kitty bluetooth butt plug: [blockquote]As far as packing non-vibrating sex toys and devices in carry on, use your own common sense. Some items, like nipple clamps and cock rings, may appear innocuous enough to escape a screener's scrutiny. But be aware that security officials are on heightened lookout for anything unusual, and you may find yourself in the awkward position of explaining what a penis pump is for. It's probably better to leave it in your checked luggage than have to mumble something about it being "a medical device" or wing a lame excuse about a "joke gift for a friend." Whatever you do, don't offer a demonstration - that will probably land you on the "no fly" list. If you think you can beat the system by carrying your sex toys on your person, you might want to think again. Of course, you'll have to empty your pockets of anything metal and put the contents in a tray, and anything battery-powered like a vibe will be subject to extra scrutiny. Attempting to wear a strap-on through security is risky as well. The bulge in your crotch is likely to draw attention anyway, and if the harness has any metal rivets or buckles, it will set off the metal detector, and you'll be pulled aside for a pat-down. Likewise for any wearable clit vibrators. The one exception here might be a non-vibrating butt plug, inserted ahead of time. If you enjoy wearing a plug in public, it could help alleviate the tedium of a dull flight and long lines in the terminal.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Saline solution is used to store contact lenses.  It's mainly comprised of salt and acts like real tears.  
 
 I need saline solution for my contacts...but thank goodness for glasses, but sooner or later, they may bann those... :P
   

Sportsdude

bring a soft case, hard cases have been banned on glasses.

Really?  Hard cases are banned?  No way!  
 
 I'm so glad that I'm not planning on travelling any time soon...next year, I hope to travel to Ontario with my mom.  Hopefully, rules will have subsided...but, who knows...
   

Sportsdude

Well that was for the brits and here only. Apparently you could hide a bomb in a hard case.

didnt the brits pretty much ban all carry on luggage?
...

Orca

Yup,

For now...

  Maybe someone will make a killing selling see-thru-plastic bag (usually for swimming) in Heathrow, I wished there is one with Hello Kitty with some weaponary or rambo attire.

What about breast implants, they contain liquidy thing too...    

Sportsdude

You know Orca, you bring up a good point. I watched Nip/Tuck once and they had a girl drug smuggler smuggle crack or some drugs in her boobs and made them look like breast implants. So whose to say some women terrorist does the same?

  They would go to full body scans but they are an invasion of privacy to people because they can see through your clothes and you end up seeing a guys manhood or a ladies womenhood.
