    The scanners at airports can certainly detect what kind of junk you have. There are tons of horror stories in trans communities. This one just seems like a hoax though.

    I think it would be funny to put these stickers in front of every public restroom to scare the conservatives

      I believe what you are saying but really didn’t think the scanners were capable of actually seeing your genital area as if it was an Xray

        In the display that TSA agents are given, the image is no longer shown and instead the system shows an outline of a body with the questionable area marked. This was added after the aforementioned outrage from travelers so that every TSA agent didn’t get an x-ray view of your naked body. The scanners are the same, but the agent doesn’t see it anymore.
