I respectfully beg to differ Lady B! I always have my toys in carry-on. I couldn't live without my harness and dildos so I refuse to pack them in checked luggage. I've only once had security personnel question me about them, and I left him blushing so red I thought he'd spontaneously combust.

As for my trip, security was uneventful. I took red~vixen's advice, smiled when walking through the metal detector, held up the collar around my neck (as best I could considering it's... well... around my neck), politely informed those of interest that I couldn't easily remove the collar, and asked if they would please use metal detecting wands instead. I was even frisked by a very cute butch girl, but that was due to the under-wire bra I wore... or so she said. Perhaps I should have asked her number.
