Butt plug? Or she is a trans woman and this is an example of subverted expectations in that the Boomer TSA guy we expect to have a bigoted response and doesn't. Instead he carries on allowing the woman to feel seen.

These machines have a male/female preset. If the TSA agent sets it to female and you have a dick, it'll flag it as an object (it'll also often flag tampons and piercings).

I think the joke is that the agent took some time to actually figure out that it was a penis, not a stick of dynamite or something.

Conversely, if you don't have a penis and they pick male, you will get flagged. The same goes for boobs. It's all kinds of fucked up.
