What about fat flaps?
 
If you're getting a TSA handijob and you have a fat flap what happens? Do they have to reach all up in there?

" Love Handles " sounds kinder and gentler.......:) Good question, though!

Yes, and I have had to do it. It is not something that is relished.

I read somewhere that theoretically you can conceal something from the scanners in folds of skin/jelly roll/spare tire/love handles or whatever you want to call it. If the scanner doesn't see it, why should the pat down?

But seriously, I am interested in knowing the limits of detection in folds of skin...

You're welcome to work elsewhere.

I think I will chose to say, at that time, "So I know it's hard enough to come out as gay, but have you told your friends that you're a chubby chaser? Because you seem to be enjoying fondling my belly. Have you tried the BiggerCity website?"

And no, I won't let you do it in private. I'll whip out my belly in public. You get to hold my pants up too. Have fun....

I didn't even think about the FUPA, but now you have me wondering what they do with that.

There's a term I hadn't seen before. Web searching FUPA...good times!
