Underwear Invention Protects Privacy at Airport
DENVER (Nov. 21) -- It's a special kind of underwear - with a strategically placed fig leaf design - and a Colorado man says it'll get you through the airport screeners with your dignity intact.

Jeff Buske says his invention uses a powdered metal that protects people's privacy when undergoing medical or security screenings.

Buske of Las Vegas, Nev.-Rocky Flats Gear says the underwear's inserts are thin and conform to the body's contours, making it difficult to hide anything beneath them. The mix of tungsten and other metals do not set off metal detectors.

The men's design has the fig leaf, while the one for women comes in the shape of clasped hands.

3. Precisely my thought.
Wearing those in the first place shows one to have no dignity whatsoever...

4. Just the opposite
It will increase the chance of a TSA agent pulling you aside because you have a "blurry groin" and patting you down.

5. And what will happen when the digital strip machine see that?
The TSA agent will really strip you in public. Great idea but I think that the agents will use it as an excuse to take you down and make an example out of you.

6. Wearing that stuff is the same as screaming out,
"I want a body search." Moronic.
