Bethenny Frankel, one of the stars featured in Real Housewives of New York, has shared an embarrassing moment at an airport.
Traveling is something that many people enjoy because as they say, exploring the world broadens your horizons and lets you see the planet's beauty while taking in other cultures.
It's easy to sit there and romanticize travel, and believe me, I do it a lot. But, sometimes, the reality of the situation can be a little different from how you thought it would go.
I am, of course, talking about airports. No matter where you're going, they can be incredibly stressful, especially airport security where they pat you down because you forgot to take off your belt.
For Frankel, removing all of her metal items wasn't enough to stop her from triggering the airport security metal detector. However, what set it off certainly raised a few eyebrows.
The reality TV star shared her amusing experience, recounting the incident that caused a temporary delay before her flight to Aspen.
Frankel explained that the scanner continuously signaled an issue as she passed through the security checkpoint. Initially, she removed her shoes, attempting to resolve the matter, but the persistent beeping continued.
To her surprise, the culprit was revealed to be none other than her own genitals.
"I was down to my final layers, and the culprit was my vagina," Frankel exclaimed.
The body scanner indicated a red square over her private area, prompting a thorough pat-down by a TSA agent. The situation drew additional attention from the onlooking crowd.
Frankel shared that her daughter Bryn found the entire ordeal hilarious, even jokingly questioning if her mother had stashed something inside. Bethenny assured that there was nothing unusual and that such an incident had never occurred before.
"I must have been really excited for my Christmas vacation," she jokingly said.
Despite the unexpected hiccup, Bethenny and Bryn successfully made their flight to Aspen, where they could finally enjoy their Christmas vacation without any further airport dramas.
Speaking of airport drama, Kansas-based TikToker and actor Brett Gaffney recently found himself in a peculiar situation at the airport, thanks to a mysterious Christmas present from his beloved grandmother.
"I got stopped at the airport security, and you know what? It was because of this briefcase my grandma gave me as an early Christmas gift, and she said don’t open it until you get to California," Gaffney revealed in the TikTok video.
"I was like, 'What is in the briefcase? It’s super heavy,'" he continued, emphasizing that his grandmother had explicitly instructed him not to open the present before reaching California. Despite his curiosity, Gaffney obediently followed his grandma's instructions, leading to an awkward encounter with TSA.
As Gaffney placed the mystery briefcase on the X-ray conveyor belt, TSA officials became intrigued. They questioned him about the contents, to which he nervously replied: "I don’t know, I don’t know."
The situation escalated as security flagged the item, leading a TSA agent to inspect the briefcase further.
The mystery in the box? A typewriter.
