Leggings a Secret Agenda?

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Florida…

Or was it?

Going through TSA pre-check one day and thought RHOBH (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) was punking me. Kept looking for Erica Jane to jump out at me saying, “Pat the Puss, Pat the Puss.”

The metal detector had gone off. What in the world; how did that happen?

Taking a flight or flights from California to Florida requires quite a bit of sitting. Alas, my extra care in dressing to be comfortable, and to avoid anything from setting off alarms did not work. Have given up the days of wearing my favorite sweater through the metal detector as the little metal buttons always get me scanned and patted. This day there was no metal on my person… or was there?

Something even more odd was the spot that attracted the attention of the TSA employee. It shocked me, as they showed me the red area, which alerted them for a scan and a pat was my ‘good girl.’ That’s right, you know the spot, the vaginal area. My husband always tells me he thinks of me as hot, yet never has my ‘good girl’ garnered that type of attention.

This event got me to thinking about my choice of clothing. Travel by plane often, perhaps 10 or more times a year, round-trip flights. Never has this ever happened before. For the first time ever, wore leggings on the plane. Did it have something to do with those leggings? Having a curious mind got me to do a bit of studying. Found the brand name of the leggings and looked up the materials to make them. There didn’t seem to be anything exotic included in the fabric. And yet, something set off the walk-through metal detector.

One day found this video about what may be inside not only my leggings, but possibly yours, too.

My Questions

What effect of PFAs beside my vagina have on my body?
Has this ever happened to you? If so, please share your experience and the brand of leggings you were wearing.
Could this be part of the reason people are gaining weight so easily?
Could this be causing fertility issues?
Is there a way to detox from the PFAs?
Are these same things or something similar added to menstrual pads?
