I don't even travel but I watch you :-) Happy Thanksgiving!
My daughter flew in her prom dress ( short backless puffy around the bottom and she had docks on with the front boices covered in sequins and swarovski crystal..) ..we had no problem boarding what so ever...we flew early morning..she was sat near the window... when the sun started shining the whole plane looked like a glitteratball in the cabin..it was so nice to see...
Sequins! A colleague and I were the first police officers to search passengers luggage for flights shortly after the aircrafts were hi-jacked to the Syrian desert, in the 1970's. Many American females carried 'cut throat razors' or straight razors in their bags. As long as they didn't have a bomb we were OK with that, but Sequins!
I had this one bra that I absolutely loved. Only other chesty women will understand, but this was โTHEโ bra. I got the extra security screening going and coming at the airport because of whatever kind of crazy underwire it had. I was MORTIFIED.
Don't wear oversized hoodies through tsa or any sort of baggy non fitted hoodie. If u do, make sure u have another shirt under bc they will pat u down ๐
True story. Going through Duesseldorf in July, so in shorts. Forgot they had metal sequins on the back pockets. The metal detector screamed, all these women in uniform with machine guns came running from all directions. The proceeded to feel up my legs, inside my waist band, and in the aforementioned pockets. My only thought was, "Wait! Shouldn't we be introduced first?"
I think you have great tips!! Thank you โค
Wore a dress with sequins home from Key West and got a pat down. Very awkward in a dress too. Never again will I wear a dress or anything with foil or sequins.
Youโre gorgeous!
Some USA airports do not like hoodies. never layer your clothes with a light hoodie at the bottom or like me you get a full body pat down haha
No excess jewelry, put in zip bag, then put back on before boarding, it's been a game changer.
Try going through with a battery pack stuck to your shoulder that powers the implant in your brain.....causes some delays ๐
also got padded down for zippered pockets made of metal lol...things you don't think about until it happens
Say more about the sequins! Iโm so curious now.
I took a foldable comb, first ever flight, i had to empty my bag. My sister was so embarrassed still wont let me forget it 25 years later
And don't put chocolate protein powder in a plastic baggie. They tested mine, and it came up suspicious, so then they retested it with a better kit, and it was just protein powder. But I was embarrassed, and it took forever.โค
Do not sit on the floor in the airport.
Thank you. Do you have any tips on healthy snacks that you can pack and that are allowed to bring on a plane and through airport security?
Wish I had watched this before I took a flight to Alaska and was wearing a sequined blouse and ended up getting pulled aside by TSA and got the full exrays and pat down! Now I watch what clothing and jewelry I wear!
