Highly observant readers will note the left nipple piercing and wonder if she forgot to remove that prior to screening. Hey, they tell you to remove all metal objects, so this may be all her own fault. Or the TSA goons just wanted to watch her remove it in person.
The next time you fly, you can be sure airport security has you protected from spray tans, based on one model’s tale.
Fitness model Laura Prestin, who hails from Canada, has been featured in magazines like American Curves and Muscle Magazine. She has been a fitness trainer for celebrities and Playboy models.
Prestin says her trip to Cancun ran into some roadblocks when a machine used by airport security to screen travelers showed a “big, red flashing 88%”which caused her to be pulled aside by security guards.
Prestin said the guards brought her “into some room” and began “rummaging through my bag” while also questioning her if she could “think of any chemical that would be so potent or leave such an impact on the screening?”
Initially, she said no, unable to come up with a plausible answer for the government agents.
After thinking about the various cosmetics and hair care products she carried with her, Prestin remembered that she had received a spray tan the night before.
After explaining the tan to the security agents, Prestin said, “they burst out laughing, patting me on the back and putting all my stuff back together.”
Hey, I went through a similar ordeal because my bag had a damp bar of Dial soap in a bag inside. Perhaps TSA’s specialized detectors really aren’t all that specialized after all, and just react to high levels of esters (aromatic substances)? Hmm, I wonder if wearing too much perfume will get you “randomly selected” for “special attention”? Or maybe all it takes is a tight body and a hefty set of bolt-ons ... perhaps the screeners’ own pheremones set the thing off?
This could be her sending a threatening message to TSA. Better investigate right away!
