Flying Pasties video review
Last week, we told you about Flying Pasties. They're the 2mm thick pieces of rubber that profess to conceal your nether regions from security agents monitoring you while you pass through airport fully body scanners. For obvious reasons, we can't film somebody walking through a full body scanner while wearing Flying Pasties. However, we can see how they look and feel.
I tried out Flying Pasties to see if they're the newest must-have travel gear or just a gimmick. Should you order a set immediately? Watch the video to find out.
Best viewed by enabling HD playback.

Wow. Thanks for the laugh this morning, Mike. Great video. I never fully understood the need for pasties. It's a great way to make a fast buck off of paranoid people.

Thanks, Pam! I tend to agree with you. Seems like a quick marketing push to capitalize on a trend. Besides, lead underwear is way more effective.

Or some funny sequence stripper stars for the nipples. Give the x-ray guys a thrill.

"...what most women wear to the airport" -- I want to know what airports you frequent Mike!

I mostly travel in my dreams.

Who is this man? He's absolutely insane!
I feel a strong urge to buy him a beer.
In a manly, backslapping sense, I mean.

Whiskey will get ya farther. Thanks, Mike!

Fairly sure this is the best travel video of all time.
Crazy hilarious.

If I'm being completely honest, I have to admit: I actually watched this twice. It was even better the second time.
Mike Barish Aug 4th 2010 8:21AM
THANKS! I'm honored and flattered.

Great video! Made my morning! One question though...how exactly do the hooks work? (and I would image they would make these much more uncomfortable)
Mike Barish Aug 4th 2010 10:15AM
Thanks, Heather! You can see how the hooks work in the official Flying Pasties demo video. Is it just me, or if you hang the pasty from your wasteband will it be several inches ABOVE your private areas?

The hypothetical vagina comment made me giggle like a schoolgirl.
I think I'll pass as well.
Mike Barish Aug 5th 2010 12:17PM
That's the best kind of giggle. Thanks!
