Cadence Baer will not be among the 27 million Americans flying this Thanksgiving to see family because she cannot deal with the humiliation of having her body scrutinized and laughed at in airport security.
Baer, a trans woman, gave up flying after a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer identified her as a woman for the body scanner, which then triggered an alarm because her groin did not match the machine’s version of the female body.
“I was stopped in front of the entire line of people and two TSA agents touched my crotch repeatedly,” Baer, who began transitioning in 2017, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
“The (security officer) finally started laughing to himself and pressed the blue button so that the machine would stop registering my penis as a potential threat. The TSA agents were still laughing as I walked away.”

I Scarcely Give A S......
Their problem is mental, and that’s THEIR problem, not ours.
I’m laughing too.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
If you really think you are a chick then CUT IT OFF.
My wife is 74, and set off alarms. She got one of those full pat downs..it was annoying. The gal turned her palms and used the backside of her hand, Heavens knows what the finger tips can FEEL on the backside, nails and all. Everytime I think
Allah, the Messenger is laughing how he got us all to take off our belts, and shoes, and walk through the cameras. I think if they had everyone get a RELIGIOUS I.D, and just check Muslims it would go a lot faster. They are the only ones blowing things up. Not the Buddhists or the Amish, or the Unitarians.
“Welcome to the party, pal.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahaha! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Can other passengers see his penis on some screen? If not, deal with it.
I don’t believe his story.
You can’t fool a machine.
“Is that a pipe bomb, or are you just happy to see us?”
It is un-possible for me to care any less than zero about this.
However, having said that, TSA is a shameful and utter abomination.
If I can’t drive there, I won’t go there.
My wife is 65, and has an artificial knee. She lets them know before hand, and of course the alarms go off. Pat, pat, pat.
I tell her the Terahertz radiation booth is OK. It’s non-ionizing, and we don’t fly very often. But she prefers—maybe that’s not quite the right word—the patdown to the radiation view.
Sucks to be a Weird O aka misfit
They should fly TWA
A mutilated dude is NEVER a lady.
Great! You never what these mentally challenged dudes are hiding under their dresses!
I almost feel sorry for the TSA gropers. Almost.
...and others will go back again and again and again.
