Only had one round of 10% PMMA so perhaps it is not dense enough to get caught? Is it a correlation between how much and type of PMMA? Had 15cc of Metacrill and stopped once, but that was due to my arm and neither I or the person checking was sure why.

A yellow X appears over your crotch area on the X-ray. It's a hassle and can be embarrassing when traveling with others.

You don't have to say a thing. They just say "I've got to pat you down." Then they do a real quick pat down to make sure you aren't carrying a weapon (insert joke here), swab your hands for explosives and you are on your way.

I found this forum and I'm so thankful for the wealth of knowledge and experience that you guys have put out to educate/warn others. One question I have seems to have been mentioned sporadically on some posts but not in a comprehensive manner, and that is whether or not TSA body scanners pick up on Penile Implants and fillers? I travel several times a month both domestically and internationally for work, often times with colleagues, so for me this would be a major consideration, I know many of you have had various kinds of fillers/injections (PMMA etc), so I was wondering what your specific experiences have been? Also, several of you have had implants that you ended up taking out due to complications, like the Elist implant, but while you did have them, what was the experience at the airport? I guess I'm wondering how frequently are things picked up on and once they are, how is it handled. Thanks a lot, Bertie Please [Log in](https://j4.phalloboards.info/login.html?return=aHR0cHM6Ly9qNC5waGFsbG9ib2FyZHMuaW5mby9mb3J1bS9nZW5lcmFsLXBoYWxsb3BsYXN0eS1kaXNjdXNzaW9uLWFyY2hpdmUvOTgxODUwNS1haXJwb3J0LXNlY3VyaXR5LXRzYS1ib2R5LXNjYW5uZXItZXhwZXJpZW5jZXMuaHRtbD9tYXJrZG93bj0x) or [Create an account](https://j4.phalloboards.info/register.html) to join the conversation.
