Travelling on planes to other countries with PE equipment

I agree with Thunder, some of you guys are WAY overthinking this. Your bags will get checked by airport security on the way out of the USA. THose guys are only concerned about the safety of the airplane. In checked bags they are looking for bombs or something else that may be dangerous to the plane. They will definitely see the weights, but if they go so far as to open the bag and do a search, once they convince themselves that it is not a bomb they won’t give a crap what it is. If they figure it out they will get a chuckle. The bib hanger will probably just slide right through.

If you carry it on the plane, your bag will definitely be X-rayed, might get searched and you might get asked. Probably best to avoid this and just check it.

You may also get inspected by customs going into the country. Again, once they are convinced it is not some kind of contraband or weaponry, they will not care what it is. My experience is that the chances of getting stopped in customs is low. I have been to South Korea and was not inspected.

If it is any consolation, I will be smuggling a pump into Russia tommorrow. If I wind up in a Moscow jail I will let you know.

They have internet in Russian jails now? Cool. :)

Have a safe trip HalfRusski !

Well, I leave town on Sunday, and then on Tuesday fly to Seattle, then San Francisco and then to Seoul South Korea.

I think I will leave the PE weights at home, and only take the bib, clamp and wrap. I was also considering leaving the bib and building a wench when I get there, but I think it’ll be ok. I will put the bib in a plastic bag in with my toiletries and the clamp and wrap will be placed in other places throughout my checking luggage. I’ve been talking to some girls who have done some travelling and they say searching is fairly rare. And in the event that they do search my bag, I doubt they will actually ask me what the bib is would they?

Bonus news, I found out my girlfriend is willing to do a threesome if we find a hot young Korean girl, although she said she’d prefer if I only did her in the bum. (Something she won’t let me try again on her…) :whatever:

You know, Redwood, I could send a set of weights to you for less the $40. I’ve never had a glitch with customs anywhere in the world so far. I just put on the customs tag that they are “exercise weights” and a gift so no import fees apply.

That sounds like an GREAT idea Monty! Besides, I think I want some larger sized weights anyways, as my base girth made the ones I have a bit uncomfortable if I wore them too high. I will likely get the end piece the regular size and then the other two or maybe one of them the larger size.

After just completing a 13 week round the world trip, believe me when I say EVERYTHING gets checked at airport security.
Come up with a good excuse for the weights and you MAY get them past, but they will be asked about…you can count on that!
If you were to remove the screws from the bib and (maybe) post the screws to your new address, the bib wouldnt be picked up on the xrays. Its too small and not metallic. BUT, it still may be found in a search of your baggage (even carry on baggage).

I think your best bet may be to send them to yourself by registered post or maybe a courier…just the way Bib does it in the first place.

Good luck in Korea mate! :D

The bib is packed in a clear plastic bag I labelled “exercise equipment”, along with a clamp, silicon cock-rings, therap, and a new Equate wrist wrap I picked up.(old ones were worn and smelt funny.) Also next to all this is my XXL condoms(just in case my girl has trouble getting her birth control), so I have come to terms with answering questions about this stuff if they ask. I plan on saying it is exercise equipment for penis exercises/health. Thinking about women who travel with a vibrator, it’s really not any more embarrassing. Also I hear you are more likely to be searched when returning home than when you go somewhere else.(At least with Canadians)

Thanks to everyone who’s posted, I appreciate the support and it has helped me think this out.

Luck and length to you my friend, here’s to smooth sailing [flawless flying?].

For what it’s worth, I think that Monty’s PE weights are the least likely to get noticed- and you may well be able to talk them away as ‘golf weights’- the BIB may be a little more sticky. I’d leave the Bib and build a wench out of stuff you bring when get there.

My US$.02, adjusted for exchange rates.

I say, grow some balls and wear the PE weighs through the metal detector!!

I went out of town, a couple weeks ago, for a few days. I left my PE stuff at home, figured I could use the few days off. I did think about bringing my PM. I thought it woulda` been funny to wear it through the metal detector.. Try to explain that one! I would be so embarrassed.

I travel a lot and I have had my pumps and weights checked. Last time I flew a note was in my luggage that my bag was inspected by the TSA. 3rd time in 7 flights this has happened, but since I use a 2.5 inch girth tube to pump I don’t get embarrasssed anymore.

They most likley get more embarrassed when they see how big the tube is and the Trac-Man I use

:thumbs:

Well I got my bib and all my PE stuff (minus the PE weights) to Korea without any hassle. I really like it here and I think I’m going to enjoy it.

It’s strange when you go from US security were they scan you and ask you many questions and show your passport to many different people, to walking into a country, showing your passport, they stamp it and your in without them uttering a word.

Anyways, I don’t have a lot of time to be on here, and I can see that finding privacy for PE will take some careful planning too. So I’ll be around these boards here and there, but probably not as frequently as before. Later dudes. :D

Take care Red. Drop in when you can.

What Thunder said, and let us know what Korea is like! :D

I’m about to get on a plane for Columbus, OH. I’m just putting my cylinder in my checked luggage with the top valve unscrewed, but I’ll put the valve in one of the zipped compartments in my suitcase. I’m taking just a piece of clear plastic hose without the gauge. I figure it would look too much like some sort of timing device to the TSA guy who’s looking at the X ray of my stuff.

I’ve been all over the country in the past few weeks with my Captain’s wench in my luggage. No problem. Thus far I’ve only been doing girth work with a turn key hose clamp (which I love). This is the first time I’m taking a pump.

By the way, for hanging in hotel rooms without weights I’ve been using a long nylon strap that I originally made for karate stretching. It’s about 12 feet long, with adjustable loops at both ends. For straight down hanging, I attach my wench to one of the loops, and then bring the other end all the way around the back of my chair and down to my foot. I adjust the loops so that I can just push my foot down to the floor and get a good hard stretch that’s as intense as I would get with weights. I have no idea how many, uh, foot-pounds I’m producing.
