Airport security

Has anyone ever suffered the humiliation of a search of your luggage at the airport. As the security guard lifts things out of your bag there in the middle is your diapers and a pair of baby print plastic pants. OK how do you explain that one?

Just after 9/11 with the heightened security I was pulled out of the boarding line for the random searches they were doing at the time. This was before they even put up some screening to shield onlookers from seeing them going through your bag. I did not check a bag so I had three overnight diapers in a white plastic bag for my trip.

The officer was a woman (probably fortunate as I think they are more sensitive to issues like this). She lifted the bag out of the suitcase and I just held my breathe to see if she unwrapped them, if you looked closely you could see the diapers through the thin white plastic. She squeezed the bag with both hands and looked inside and then set it to the side as she proceeded through the rest of the bag. I thought for sure anyone around would notice that I had adult diapers in the bag.

After the officer put the items back in the bag she smiled at me and said I could proceed. I took a quick look around to see if other passengers were looking at me or going to comment on the diapers, no one appeared to notice. I had a business associate traveling with me however he had been pulled out of line across from me, if he noticed he never commented on it. I always wondered how often they came across adult diapers in these inspections, it was not like she was very surprised when she did the inspection. I'm really glad she did not ask why I needed, the fact that she saw them was embarrassment enough!

Last February I returned from Mexico and had my bags searched (I had several disposable diapers in the bag) the guy checking the bag asked if I packed it myself and I told him yes also that it had the bare essentials I needed in it

The guy just felt around and under the diapers without removing them from the bag and when he finished he just told to have a nice trip.

In 2002, I was flying home from days of long meetings at a Palm Springs resort and the small airport there inspected suitcases in the ticket area. I lined up for the ticket agent. As I got to the head of the line, the TSA agent opened my suitcase on a table set next to the waiting line, in full view of everyone waiting to check in with the agent.

I still had a few unused disposable diapers and one plastic pant I wore for extra overnight protection. The agent stacked the diapers on the table next to my case and lifted out the rest of the contents. He then opened each diaper. I supposed they represented a terror threat and could have been stuffed with explosives instead of gelling crystals. I tried to act nonchalant but I could feel my face blushing. Once he had gone though the contents, he dropped everything back in my suitcase with the diapers prominently on top. He affixed stickers to the suitcase and my boarding pass and said I was good to go.

With all that, I still had to go though personal screening as well. Glad things have improved since then.

Did have this happen one time, guard just poked around the diapers like he was afraid they were used and quickly closed the suitcase. I think he was more embarrassed than me.

If it's an issue, I believe that you can request private screening.

There are so many adults wearing a diaper of some kind or another today, I'm suprised that an airport worker would even ask.

For almost 2 years I had everything of mine checked when I flew. That was very embarrassing you have no idea. Somehow I had wound up on the "national security high risk" list.

I finally found out why, and believe it or not, once I flew to Michigan and apparently the TSA agents felt I had too much catheter equipment. That's all it took to get me on the list. Finally as of this March, my name was taken off the list and I no longer have my bags searched, and neither am I.

It was kind of nice to go through security like everyone else for a change, lol.

Never had a search at the airport, but I have at a bus station right after 9/11. The sad part of it is that the girl searching by bag was more embarrassed by it than I was.

I once had a search when crossing borders by car. The man performing the search was even more embarrassed as I were. I first asked him to be discreet when searching, but when he found the diapers in my bag he was stumbeling some excuses that he was just doing his job and so. Other people didn't notice anything, so I didn't bother either.

I have your cloth diapers right here Luvs!

I have your cloth diapers right here Luvs!

I'm coming then!!!! And plastic pants?

But of course! You can have your choice of colors or prints!

My choice, oh no! ??? I don't know what I want now!! There are so many nice ones.

How about the animal print plastic pants, they are sooo cute on you!

Oh tay! I love animals, especially on my plastic panties!

I brought one of the harnesses that is a stuffed animal wrapped around him...the ones where the animal is hugging the toddler. The animal matches the one on his plastic pants!

I hope there will be plenty of room backstage for the cribs? I get very stressed and worn out in front of a crowd.

Awwww, we don't want to see you stressed out Luvs! What if I made sure there was a rocking chair? I would be happy to rock you!

That works even better for me!

I will bring a soft blankie for you and your teddy bear too! 😃

I would much rather a nice old fashion pram! 😁

Can't I have the reins and the Pram? :'( Can't say I'd want or need the spanking 😜

All little boys need an occasional spanking luvs. It is just a more "uncomfortable" way to tell you you are loved.

Of course you can have a pram Luvs! Just because Luvs is a little fussy doesn't mean he needs a spanking, he just needs a nap for being tired. Spankings are only given if they are warranted which in this case they would not be.

😁 Oh sweet! I luvs the view from a pram. And if I should get a spanking, I can take it.

I have worn several times on plane trips...both domestic and international. I wear a disposable under a clothe diaper covered with plastic panties. I use a velcro closing cloth diaper to avoid the metal scan. Once I was patted down, but nothing was ever said. However, if you are nervous I would encourage you to follow Switchablesusie's advice...your nervousness may make security suspicious. Since these are old postd I assume the trip has been made. What happened?

I wear in airports/planes all of the time. But just before going through security I change my wet diaper and then change into a dry one after going through security. Much easier/safer than going through security, particularly wearing a wet diaper. If I was dry, which I am not very often, I wouldn't worry about it. If you pretend it's normal, security and no one else will be the wiser.

Anyone have any trouble wearing your diaper to the airport security?

I would be very careful playing with the TSA.

The cavity searches and missed flights would be your own.
