Do you have a plan for the imminent flash-the-TSA-attendant 'upgrade' at JFK? Well Flying Pasties has done the planning for you, with their new "2mm thick 100% rubber" pasties that "obscure your private areas when you pass through airport scanners. No adhesive necessary as they simply slip into your clothing!" They come in male and female models, with x-ray visible slogans like "Only my husband sees me naked!" and peace-sign motifs, so you can "keep your dignity in style."
