Adam and Eve type of underwear invention protects privacy at airport
Underwear invention protects privacy at airport

DENVER — It's a special kind of underwear — with a strategically placed fig leaf design — and a Colorado man says it'll get you through the airport screeners with your dignity intact.

Jeff Buske says his invention uses a powdered metal that protects people's privacy when undergoing medical or security screenings.

Buske of Las Vegas, Nev.-Rocky Flats Gear says the underwear's inserts are thin and conform to the body's contours, making it difficult to hide anything beneath them. The mix of tungsten and other metals do not set off metal detectors.

The men's design has the fig leaf, while the one for women comes in the shape of clasped hands.

There is no guarantee that this bit of attire will not bring about an automatic, more intrusive search by the Transportation Security Administration.

1. Won't the TSA ban this sort of cover, claiming
it is protecting al qaeda?

5. Personally . . .
. . . seeing my genitals is an issue, but not the main issue. Forced exposure to x-rays is the issue.
