Can airport xrays detect whether you have underwear or not?
Can airport xrays detect whether you have underwear or not?
I looked when I was in the machine, it showed what I have. Not very clear like the original versions, TSA guy looked at me and I was like what!
Yes they can.
Yes - but don't worry, they can also see through the underwear too, so it doesn't make a difference if you go commando or not
No one is x-rayed at the airports anymore, and even when those devices were used, they did not and could not see your underwear.
In any case, no one gives a d@mn about your underwear or lack thereof.
Yes. It can also determine if they need to be changed

Sir, step over here please
I don't have anything metal
It's not that. You need to change your underwear. Our machine detected high amounts of dried urine and fecal matter. Do you have a clean pair? We have some for purchase but you're not going anywhere until you change those nasty drawers
The 3D scanners, yes. They can tell if you have a tiny piece of paper in your pocket. They see everything about your body except for tattoos. I've had them spot, and have checked, a small patch of sweat on my back. The person seeing everything is in another room and just tells the person near you what to check.
No one gets X-rayed at the airport. They use a milimeter wave scanner.
Considering that they can tell whether you have a gum wrapper left in your pocket, what do you think?
I'm assuming you are traveling from or within the US I'm also assuming you are referring to the body scanners. (Though I've had the "unfun" experience of dealing with passengers that tried to take a ride through the conveyor-driven x-ray machines.)
Please keep in mind that the body scanners do not use x-rays but radio frequencies. It is designed to detect potential threats that may be hidden beneath clothing (ex. Explosives, guns, knives, components for bombs, etc.) Whether you are wearing underwear or not is immaterial. See link for more information.
Only if your wearing lead knickers and a steel bra.
Yes
- How long can you stay at an airport for after you Land? So I'm heading to Los Angeles (LAX) and I land at 11Am but I can't check into my Airbnb until 3pm. I can just sit at the airport for like a hour or two just to kill some time before I need to check in? Or is that a security threat?
