Today was the second time in a year I went into one and my crotch got flagged because of my pants zipper. nothing in my pockets. no belt. nothing hidden. etc.

I was then subjected to full pat down and a shoe chemical test as a cherry on top.

Might need to try convincing them next time to let me do the metal detector instead.

What's the point of this higher fidelity scanner if it can't tell the difference between a fly and a restricted object?

Are you sure it was the zipper?

it's a guess from looking at the screen where the red square is placed right around that zone.

Almost always my back sweat from wearing a backpack shows up on the body scanner. Then a TSA agent has to put their gloved hand on my sweaty back. What a shit job lol.

Whenever my backpack has been pulled aside for various reasons (large metal tools, too many loose wires, water bottle), I'll often get the bomb sniffer wipe.
