Novel fig leaf knickers to protect travellers' privates from airport scanners

London, Nov 23 (ANI): A Las Vegas businessman has come up with a special underwear that has a strategically placed fig leaf design that can help shield passengers' private parts from airport scanners.

Jeff Buske, the creator of the fig leaf underwear, claims that his invention uses a powdered metal that protects people's privacy when undergoing security screenings, the Telegraph reported.

The garments, which feature either a fig leaf or a clasped hands motif, are composed of a mixture of tungsten and other metals that do not set off metal detectors.

Nevada-Rocky Flats Gear says the underwear's inserts are thin and conform to the body's contours. (ANI)
