A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was standing at airport security. One of the bag inspectors asked me to remove my travel pouch, pointing to the lump under my shirt. I didn't know how to tell him that it was just one of my fat rolls. FML

Today, I was walking through airport security when a guard began making lewd gestures at his crotch, while looking at me. I was outraged until I realized he was trying to tell me that my fly was down. FML

Today, I was going through airport security. Trying to get things over and done with quickly, I dropped my pants without a second thought. Turns out they just wanted me to remove my shoes and belt. FML

Today, I was boarding my flight when I got pulled aside for looking suspicious. As she was opening my bag, I said, "Be careful, I jammed so many clothes in there it may explode." I was then strip searched for my trouble. FML

Today, I was traveling. At airport security, the woman patting me down felt something "down there" and asked me what I was wearing. I told her it was a sanitary napkin. She put her hands inside my pants just to be sure. FML

Today, I was going through airport security. As my bags were being scanned, I was told that I was selected for extra searching. Right as the security guard was about to frisk me, he froze up and asked me, "You're a male, right?" I am, and I used to think that it was obvious. FML

Never joke with TSA
Today, I missed my flight because I was held in airport security because I'd "threatened" an employee. He had confiscated my eyelash curler and jokingly I asked if he thought I was going to curl him to death. He didn't laugh. FML

Today, I was leaving a clothing store when the security guard stopped me and demanded that I surrender the clothing I was "trying to steal" by hiding it under my shirt. It turns out, he was just looking at my pot belly. FML

How much?
Today, I was at the airport to catch a plane. It was very crowded at the gate and there was nowhere to sit except for a flat metal bench, so I sat on that. Turns out I was sitting on a luggage scale, so my weight was displayed for everybody to see. FML

Today, the security at the airport were nice enough to remind me to take the laptop out of my bag. I wish they'd also reminded me to put it back in before I left. FML

Time to do some good ol' fashion exercise... Put your hands up to the ceiling, bend your knees, and touch your toes. Do your daily exercises, you're gonna look like skin and bone. :)

They could've used a politer term, like skin. They have to do their jobs and stuff like this is part of it. If they weren't nasty about it and they didn't say it loudly to humiliate OP, (s)he has no reason to complain. It's potentially dangerous* not to ask-- which is better, to have a plane full of people bombed or to ask someone who knows he's overweight to prove he has no weapons? *OK, probably not terribly dangerous, but really, are fingernail clippers actually huge threat either?

This is not true. I work at an airport, and unless there is an ACTUAL threat, pat downs are not that invasive, not even close. Also, a male security officer CANNOT pat down a female. EVER.

Maybe they meant 'she'. It's a little detail. And MY pat down was invasive enough that, had I been a fatass, I would've needed to lift my rolls. Besides, she could have been coming from an airport in another country. Just because you work at one of the hundreds of airports that exist doesn't mean it can't happen. Personally, I found out quite quickly that French security is 100x tighter than that in America. I had to go through a lot more security checks in France, and I didn't get body-scanned, patted down, or have my carry on manually searched while in the US, yet I did in France.
