    Spoon in underwear at the airport, kids, if you think your parents might be trafficking you to another country and you don’t want to go.

      Ok…I get the spoon would set off the scanner. I get you’d need a strip search…but I’m not getting how having a TSA agent finger your butthole to find a spoon would help.

        Uh, that’s not exactly what happens when the metal detector goes off but it gives you an opportunity to talk with someone without your parents around. TSA isn’t police, but hopefully they can contact police.

        That said, parents do get a pretty strong say in where they take their minor children.

            When did I say anything about a private room? You get a few feet of separation from your parents and a different adult to talk to for a moment. That may be enough of an opportunity.
