    The sticker with the girl in the suitcase isn’t misogynistic at all. :p

  • Anonymous

    For people with lots of extra time for searches and such

    • Lobster

      Yeah. I’m sure the first person to wear this to an airport will feel very very clever, then quite outraged when they’re detained over it.

  • NickPheas

    There must be easier ways of getting a cavity search.

    • Anonymous

      if you know… please share :)OWN

  • Cowicide

    Where’s the one with bombs?

    • mdh

      or the lite-brite mooninite?

      • Cowicide

        Like so?

  • Phlip

    Could you step out of line, sir?

  • Axx

    Sorry I couldn’t make the family reunion mom…yeah, I had trouble at the airport.

  • MarkM

    Thats a fantastic way to speed through customs!

  • Dave Faris

    Pretty sure the assessment of how funny this thing is relies on the TSA employee, and they’re notorious for the yuck-yucks.

  • Anonymous

    Worst. Idea. Ever.

  • dhalgren

    I’ll take the sticker with the girl in the suitcase.

  • SKR

    I want the one that makes the x-ray look like I hae a ton of drugs but otherwise everything else appears normal.

    • phisrow

      I don’t know of anything commercially available; but it should be doable enough: Lead or tungsten are substantially more x-ray blocking than what they are expecting to find, so a very thin layer will show up pretty dramatically.

      Get a greyscale image of what a load of drugs look like under x-ray, print it on a thin fabric layer with lead or tungsten dust in polymer binder(then paint an even coat of just the polymer binder, so it just looks like some sort of stiffened/waterproofed cloth. Sew into lining of bag. Nothing to see, nothing to palpate; but it will look crazy suspicious under a scanner…

    • Cowicide

      check! …and I want the one that makes the airport full-body scanner look like there’s a monkey in my pants attacking my genitals.
