I got flagged for a random TSA pat down once and the agent asked me if I had any metal in my body. I replied “I have an IUD”. The agent freaks out and starts flagging other agents over. She musters all her calm and says “Please repeat that you have an IED on you” to which I had to say “no, an IUD, a copper intrauterine device, for birth control”. She didn’t know what an IUD was and I had to explain it to her. I bet she’ll remember now!

Ok something about casually telling a TSA agent “I have an IED” made me laugh out loud 🤣

That happened to me too. But my TSA agent just said "You said WHAT?" And when I said IUD verrry slowly he calmed down and was like oooooh okay that's not a problem then.

It was a toilet humor joke. Think like Explosive diarreah or however you spell that word in English

Yeah that one flew over my head, given that there was no mention of toilets beforehand.

No problem. Jokes are the most fun when you don't expect them
