What can I paint my skin with that would leave a message readable by TSA's full body scanners?

[grahamhgreen]

My friend suggested zinc oxide.....


I think it would be great fun.

And what should the message be?

"You are violating my fourth amendment rights"?

"For a good time call..."?

1. Harder, harder,

more to the left..

[HysteryDiagnosis]

2. I'm thinking a rather large sex toy stuffed in one's pants might make

them think twice about going there.

[DBoon]

17. a cucumber wrapped in foil?

[KansDem]

3. How about, "Was it good for you, too?

;)

[Dreamer Tatum]

4. Just shit your pants. nt

5. Rustoleum Magnaetic paint, perhaps?

I've seen in Mom and Pop type hardware stores.

6. FRONT- "Like what you're looking at?"

BACK-"take a picture it might last longer"



others-

"Special $7.99 /Lb."

Barcode symbol

"You can't beat my meat"

[hlthe2b]

11. Like what you see? Call 555-1212

:evilgrin:

[flor-de-jasmim]

7. "We've got to stop meeting like this!"

[lpbk2713]

8. Maybe paint the outline of an extended middle finger?

[toddwv]

9. Wrap your penis in tin foil.

That should provide an interesting image as well as a clear statement of "Don't touch my junk, bro!!!" for them. Careful though, you'd probably make national news and then your tin-foiled junk would be all over the internet if not the national airwaves...

21. I'll tell them I did it to protect my package from the radiation!

[CrispyQ]

10. Try one of these:

I'm partial to 'the finger' one.

12. Size doesn’t matter

followed by a couple of question marks.

[sally cat]

13. Tincture of iodine?

[elehhhhna]

14. lead would work well.

[rucky]

15. "Sex Bomb" (with an arrow pointing down to your junk)

[ZombieHorde]

16. Cover yourself with live spiders. nt

[Warpy]

18. They won't show up

but artists' paints made with heavy metals pigments (lead white, cadmium yellow and red) would likely show up very nicely. They can be absorbed through the skin, though, so it's probably a good idea to protect your skin with plastic wrap and just Scotch tape the plastic with message on before the flight.

[PJPhreak]

19. One of the best lines from the movie "Cars"....

"Get a good look there,City Boy?"

[Poboy]

20. "CAUTION: IRRADIATED CHICKEN"

That works on a few levels.

[Duer 157099]

22. "If you can read this..."

(followed by whatever you like, "Fuck you" or "thanks for violating my privacy" etc)

[grahamhgreen]

25. With the FU written in really tiny letters!

[jillan]

23. "I fantasize about TSA scanners touching me" Just use lipstick - there are lipsticks that

are called Lip Stains

here - http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/183-5771509-6064122?asin=B001Q4ZJVO&AFID=Froogle_df&LNM=|B001Q4ZJVO&CPNG=&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B001Q4ZJVO&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001

That way it will wash off later ;)

Edit - or use waterproof eye pencil. A dab of olive oil will take it off when you are ready.

[cbdo2007]

24. hmmm, try mercury.

[sally cat]

26. Toxic, unavailable. Iodine is used in x-ray contrast materials. The tincture should do it.

[felix_numinous]

27. Iodine contrast material

is different than iodine tincture. I think something like gold paint (gold magic marker) might work, or metallic fingernail polish?

[grahamhgreen]

28. What about the zinc oxide (basically sunbloc)

[sally cat]

29. Seems like that would work. Zinc should contrast with the x-rays.

[grahamhgreen]

30. this should be fun - flying next weekend....

[felix_numinous]

31. I wonder if zinc oxide

would show up too blurry. But I'm telling you gold has a higher atomic number, you can get a gold leaf magic marker at Micheal's, you could write on your under clothes. Hey be careful out there :)

[jmowreader]

32. Nothing

You might just find your wise little ass in a TSA holding cell, thinking about how much you hate fascism as the Only Government Employees Teabaggers Like are busy checking the toes of your sox for explosives residues, Bartcop bumper stickers and Cuban cigars.
