Flying is a quick way to travel, but it can also be very unpredictable. Some people deal with strange passengers, others face unexpected situations at the airport, and some are just really nervous about flying.
The Story:
I don’t fly often—maybe 1 to 3 times a year. This time, I happened to be on my period. When we went through security at the airport, my crotch area showed up very brightly on the body scanner. I told a female TSA agent that I was wearing period panties, but I was still shocked by how bright it was. It was embarrassing when she had to check that area in front of everyone. I’m not sure why it showed up so brightly.
