What the heck do I do? I'm lost, confused, and I really don't want to wreck my husband's family tradition. What's worked for keeping TSA agents in line without causing the specter of legal trouble?
Procedures are common across the system, so if you set off the WTMD twice, or are randomly selected, you still get the pat-down.

Cavity bombs. This is an extreme example, yet a pair of 1000cc implants contains something equivalent to right around 0.5gal of liquid equivalent mass. Pick up a 1/2-gallon of milk, and that's about the volume possible. Some newer variable implants can not only be expanded yet now also can be drained, so have fun with that thought.
