Today, after visiting my mom, she stuffed a bunch of pads in my backpack so I'd have some at my dorm. When I was going through security, I was stopped and ended up missing my flight. Apparently the jumbo pads my mom sent look exactly like packs of cocaine when they go through the X-ray machine. FML

Jamaica? I hardly know her

Today, my mom and I went to catch our flight to Jamaica. She ended up being detained and questioned, because she packed hairspray, shampoo, drinks, basically half the shit you're not allowed to have in your luggage. We missed our flight. FML

Today, I missed my flight because I was stopped by airport security. They found "small, suspicious, spherical objects" in my purse on the X-ray. After pulling me out of line, taking my purse aside and carefully opening it with tongs, they removed the bag of grapes I had packed as a snack. FML

Today, while going through airport security the lady asked why I folded everything so small. I said that I was going away for a month and needed to fit a lot of stuff in only one bag. She smiled, nodded and then dumped my luggage to search for "drugs and other illegal teen things." FML

Today, I was boarding my flight when I got pulled aside for looking suspicious. As she was opening my bag, I said, "Be careful, I jammed so many clothes in there it may explode." I was then strip searched for my trouble. FML

Today, my family drove me to the airport. Before they said goodbye, my mom discreetly pulled me to one side and asked if I'd remembered to pack my birth control pills. Unfortunately, my little sister heard, then chased me through the security line, yelling, "YOU'RE ON BIRTH CONTROL?!" FML

Today, I packed my bags and left for the airport. When I passed through security, the X-ray scanner discovered that my cat had also come along for the ride. FML

Thanks, son

Today, I was supposed to catch a 4:40 flight to New York. My 5 year-old son handed me my carry on bag as I left the house. Turns out he had put his older brother's BB gun into my bag to "keep me safe." I missed my flight after I was detained and strip-searched. FML

Today, I was sitting in the airport, watching the baggage handlers load the plane I was about to get on. They were being really rough with it, one bag came open and all the clothes spilled out onto the tarmac. The clothes looked familiar. They were mine. FML

Today, I spent the busiest travel day of the year in the busiest airport in the world trapped between the decision to leave the terminal bathroom or shit my pants. Yes, I missed my flight. Sorry, mom. FML

Today, I was traveling. At airport security, the woman patting me down felt something "down there" and asked me what I was wearing. I told her it was a sanitary napkin. She put her hands inside my pants just to be sure. FML

Why the hell does everyone care so much about womens' personal hygiene? Everyone cares about who shaves what, and now it's "gross" to use a ******* pad? Back the **** off.

I'd say you should have used tampons, but TSA would probably mistake those for syringes.

YDI for not showing up sooner and for using pads instead of tampons.

I've been taken aside for extra screening before, it doesn't take that long. They tell you to arrive 2 hours early for a reason.

Hey... can you hook me up? I'm in need of a product that I hear you supply.

the airport screeners either a) check for organic material, in which case the pads wont show or b) x-ray for hard, metallic material, in which case the pads wont show. mmm.........

Were you going through YXE or YQR? Sometimes the TSAs in Saskatoon can take a long time and be really anal about stuff, and sometimes not. I've never had to go through security in Regina though.

start taking the birth control that makes periods dissappear. problem solved. (I haveb;t had a period in 2 years! It's great

Meh i did that. It was great until I started having random bleeding that lasted for months at a time. Some people can't go on birth control. Or don't want to because they don't need it. And it takes a while longer to know if it failed and you're pregnant if you aren't expecting a period.

i'm calling fake. if that's what happened, they would just look in your bag and see that it was pads and not cocaine and then let you go. there was no reason to keep you from your flight.
