My Heart Keeps Beating Like a Hammer

I'm leaving tomorrow, headed to Chicago for the BlogHer conference and all the important things in life are baring down on me.

Like, should I wear a wireless bra to go through security at the airport?

I ask because last year sister had her hands down my pants during my pat down. Because, you know, to keep my ladies up and perky, Mommy requires quite a bit of metal reinforcement. And apparently the security guard took this as an open invitation to discuss panty styles and fabrics. She liked lace thongs. I like cotton hipsters.

She complemented me on my hipsters.

Of course, I should have thought this was odd. But me? Noooooo. I laughed. Out loud. A lot.

It's what I do in the most inappropriate of times. Laugh.

It wasn't until I was in California last year when I realized security guards should not be putting their hands down your pants.

Huh.

So now I'm all aflutter - should I go into the airport with saggy boobs in a wireless bra in hopes of not being patted down again? Can I take my properly boobie-holder-upper bra in my carry-on luggage and put it on after security? Will the bra flag them as something odd and would they then rifle through my bag and pull out crazy contraption of a girl holder and display it in front of everyone there?

Help me, I don't know what to do about my boobies.

I don't think that underwires set off the metal detector since I always wear them. But you remind me of when I got my IUD, which is copper ... I actually asked my gynecologist if it would set off metal detectors, because I really didn't want a strip search for that one. He found me very amusing.

Agreed - I'm never without underwires, and I've never set off the alarm!

Underwire will make your boobs happy. Let them feel you up. That just means they think you're hot.

Huh? I always wear underwire and have never had THAT happen.

Well, being a bear of very little boob, I don't know what to tell you about the bra.

But HAVE A GOOD TIME!!! :)

I fly a lot since my husband took a job that has us living overseas. I have occasionally had an underwire set off alarms but not often. Once I had it set off alarms in Bangkok but not in 3 other airports on the same trip. Takes a lot of plane changes and layovers to get from Jakarta to Texas!

I just flew last week and the underwire did not set off the alarms either coming or going.

I'm no help either, having no experience with hard-to-manage boobies. But this is a hilarious post.
