Getting pulled aside for a pat-down at airport security is never the highlight of a trip, but for TikToker Lindsay Gurk, it turned into a pretty memorable situation. In an incredibly viral video with over 22.3 million views, she told TikTok that she was flagged by TSA as she was headed for a flight. Interestingly, her experience seems to be happening to more women than you might think.
Standing in her bathroom, Lindsay describes the situation. She alleged in her video that as soon as she walked through the scanner, she was told, “Alright, ma’am, we’re gonna need you to step aside.” At first, she thought it might just be her necklace, but then she looked at the monitor. She then pulled out a little sketch to show everyone what she saw. She exclaimed, “That’s what I saw. We got a yellow warning, and we got a red hot warning. Both in the crotch area!”
