. . . I just heard the news while watching Chelsea Lately tonight. I did a little google perusing and sure enough it's starting to spread through online new sites and blogs. Good news to all EF travelers!

If you pack a vibrator, don't get shaken by TSA

The last sentence of the article is particularly enlightening it says,

"Anatomically correct reproductions of male sex 'objects' must be carried in checked baggage, as they could be used aboard an aircraft as weapons."

I thought it was funny/interesting how they referred to men's sex toys as only rings and sleeves. It almost read like no man who works for TSA ever sticks things up his butt

I noticed that too - wonder how many Fleshlights, masturbators, cock rings,and other things that men stick their cocks into are seen by TSA agents everyday

"Tips for trouble- free air travel
Keep battery-powered personal vibrators in carry-on baggage - not in checked baggage. Remove batteries."

Why not keep them in checked baggage?

And if I had an Eleven and got it confiscated, I'm pretty sure I'd cry. And the Little Somethings by Jimmyjane definitely get more expensive than $195... up to $3055 more.

Airport security just gives me the heeby-jeebies. I'd rather drive 15 hours than go on a plane now

I'm quite delighted by this. I was going to buy some toys for my girl, so that she could have fun with them, and then bring them over here when she comes over (she's in a different country).

I'm glad I could bring my manacles on a plane, but my mouthwash will be confiscated as a safety hazard.

re the Eleven "We would call that a baton-like item," said Melendez. "It could be considered a weapon."

yes. yes it is a weapon. It is why I keep it right beside my bed.. for burglars and easy access romps

I love that nothing is a "dildo". It's "an anatomically correct cylinder." Lmao

I got a huge kick out of the article's comment that "Passengers carrying certain X-rated objects that are defined as "club-like" should place them in checked luggage. This applies to anatomically correct cylinders of roughly a foot or so in length."

12" is anatomically correct?

We still don't want to put ours in carry-on and have to tell TSA, as recommended by the article "that is a vibrator".

Finally, the article says that batteries/motors should be removed. Ummm, most of us have re-chargeable vibrators now. How are we going to do that?

Wow, pretty cool that you can take them. I know many a thread has been started here on the topic. Good to know, if I ever need to travel and take my toys with me!

I agree some of the descriptions were down right weird. lol

I'd put that stuff in my carry-on, anyway. "I'm visiting my boyfriend." is better than making out a stolen property report for nipple clamps, leather collar, leather cuff restraints, etc. because of sticky-fingers in baggage handling.

Thanks for the article. I liked seeing Mia in the picture. Perfect traveling vibe. I'd sooner bring that on a plane with me than a 12 foot anatomically correct cylinder.

"Anatomically correct"? So what, as long as it's purple and shaped like a dolphin I could carry a dildo on?

It's going to make my trip to Vegas in November easier . My Eleven can stay at home, but I'm going to take everything else in the carry-on. And I'll make sure they're under 12" long lol.

Make sure that the zombie dildo is packed securely in an Alien Fleshlight - that'll give the TSA agents a thrill

This is great news but now that I'm back in the USA I'm not flying for a while. I'm going to take my time and enjoy the trains.

Never thought of my dildos as weapons! I should start carrying them in my purse instead of my pepper spray!

Hey, it'd bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, 'stick 'em up!'
