TSA's position on stainless steel Cock rings and Ball weights
It has recently come to my attention that the wearing of stainless steel Cock rings and Ball weights while passing through a WTMD will result in the bearer being subjected to the newly approved pat down process. My question is whether or not a TSO, upon physically detecting the presence of said articles through the bearers clothing will require him to submit to a visual inspection of the same. Can a TSO shed some light on this rather weighty matter?

Assuming you're not being facetious.... I have a male friend who confirmed at one time that the wearing of a "chastity device," once discovered during a routine pat down, did require a visual inspection. This was pre-panty bomber, but post 9/11 ... probably closer to 4 or 5 years ago.

To clarify, I consider this to be a serious forum in which serious issues and hard hitting facts are discussed in a mature manner, so no, I'm not being facetious. Based on your friend's experience, I wonder if the wearing of the accoutrements described in the OP have a place in the security theatre civil awareness campaign that appears to be forming?
I will be breezing by rapidly to my flights and chuckling under my breath as you receive you special treatment.

Don't worry, I'll still take a stand for your rights when they come to take you away to the gas chambers for no other reason than you had to take your meds just to get through the checkpoint

Ask the woman they forced to remove her nipple rings with a pair of pliers, she'll tell you how it goes
google
tsa pliers rings
for thousands of hits about it, including quotes from the tsa saying their officers were right in forcing her to remove them.
I would go for plastic or rubber ones instead, you stand a better chance at getting through.
Though it would be funny, what's that? I get easily excited and don't want to make a mess in your hand when you check me out

Along the same vein, have there been any reports of people wearing leather undergarments through the nude-o-scopes and what the outcome from that has been?

My understanding is the Nude-O-Scopes, for lack of a scientific/medical term, stop at "wet flesh". Dry leather jackets, pants, etc. do not obscure the wearer's body.

I have no idea why anyone would be going through security with one on in the first place, unless they have some paraphilia for getting caught. That, or you want to risk damaging your penis or testicles. Cock rings shouldn't be worn for any extended period of time, nor do I think you could manage wearing ball weights in a discreet manner.
As for the chastity issue, the CB-3000 has an option for plastic locks to help minimize WTMD detection. Should a pat-down be required, I would assume a visual inspection would take place, much like the case if a piercing is detected. The same would apply for said hypothetical cock ring.

TSA: I suffer from, and sometimes enjoy, male pe. Tread lightly.
The truly brave shall spell that out on a t-shirt.

But plenty of people, male and female, wear metal paraphernalia on their genitals, with or without piercings. I presume even a small earring-sized object would sound the alarm. I wonder how many of the people who say WBI is no big deal will change their tune when a TSO demands to see your c--- ring.
I think they would go unnoticed if on the ears so TSA must be discriminating against those who choose to wear their rings in locations other than ears.

I wear a wedding ring I can't yank off. Same deal. Anything under clothing must excite special interest -- no pun intended.

The TSA "position" is for a TSO to kneel down in front of the passenger and gently stroke his "sensitive" regions with the back of a gloved hand, and then proceed to stroke, poke and squeeze more intensely until the alarm is resolved.
Must make the TSO's proud to be on the front line of defense against terrorism. Is this included in the job description when they first apply?
