'I was frisked at airport as my private parts kept setting off security alarm'
It's fair to say that most people want to move through the airport smoothly - often using tips and tricks to help prevent travel delays. However, one woman recently got into a spot of bother when she was travelling, as a specific part of her body was causing the security alarm to go off all the time, and she didn't realise why.
Documenting her travel journey on TikTok, content creator a.l.i.xoxo advised people never to wear tracksuit bottoms to the airport for a pretty funny reason. When she discovered what was causing her a problem at security, she couldn't help but laugh, as it was such a hilarious blunder to make.
Although she admits she "loves" her Juicy Couture tracksuit problems, she admitted they caused her a bit of a problem at airport security. It looks as though they may be another item to add to the list of things not to wear when travelling on a plane.
In the clip, she said: "Just got frisked at the airport, and I almost got taken into a back room because, whenever I walked through the metal detector, my [private parts] flagged, and I was like 'what?'
"I don't have anything in my pants. You want to know what it was? C'mon Juicy. It was the Juicy bling."
As many people know, Juicy Couture tracksuits have "juicy" written across the back in a diamante-like material. This is what appears to have caused the alarm to go off.
The situation left people tickled, as they couldn't believe what was causing the problem. She seemed to find humour in the situation though.
One person replied: "Stop, you look like a doll." To this, the content creator said: "Omg, it was a super cute and comfy travel outfit, but the potential to get strip-searched is not worth it."
Another added: "Omg, this happened to me, and they searched inside the hood. I was scared, especially because it flagged the front for some reason."
A third also replied: "Oh no, I'm sorry your bling did this to you." In the end, the security officer realised what was causing the problem, so all was well eventually.
What should you wear through airport security?
If you want a smooth journey through airport security, there are a few things people are advised to do. Generally, people are told to opt for simple, comfortable clothing and footwear that are easy to remove and put back on.
It's also best to avoid bulky clothing, excessive metal and items that might trigger alarms or require extra screening. You could also think about wearing a jacket with pockets for easy storage of valuables and also opt for slip-on shoes for quick removal.
As well as this, it's best to avoid clothing with lots of zippers, buttons or metal embellishments, as these can trigger alarms. Loose-fitting clothing is also a good option.
If you feel you need something to keep you warm, consider wearing a light jacket or sweater that can be easily removed and placed in a bin. This will help to minimise disruption when moving through security.

Justin Timberlake slammed for doing 'bare minimum' at his concerts
Justin Timberlake has left some fans demanding a 'refund' after he appeared to have stopped signing at his live shows. The American singer rose to fame as part of The All New Mickey Mouse Club in the 1990s, going on to join the hugely successful boyband NSYNC, who sold over 70 million units worldwide. After the band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2002, Justin pursued a solo career, releasing the chart-topping albums Justified and FutureSex/LoveSounds, which included hits like Cry Me a River, Rock Your Body and SexyBack. He was dubbed the 'Prince of Pop', has 10 Grammy Awards, and is now one of the best-selling musicians of all time. Last year Justin, 44, embarked on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, his first in five years. Although it officially ended in February this year, it was quickly followed by an extension that has included festivals and one-off concerts titled 'JT Live 2025'. But just a few days before his last scheduled show in Istanbul, Turkey, on July 30, Justin has drawn the ire of some concertgoers. Last week Justin played at the Electric Castle festival in Romania, but soon after he was called out for signing very little of his track Can't Stop the Feeling live. In the clip, posted on TikTok, he was seen putting the hood of his jacket on as rain started pouring down as he sung the first few lines of the song. We've teamed up with Camp Bestival Dorset to give one lucky Metro reader and their family the chance to win family weekend tickets, worth up to £1,172!

He then made hand gestures and walked across the stage to amp them up but only went on to sing a few parts of the song and heavily relied on the crowd to pick up the slack. Just before the clip ended, he was then seen walking towards his band and telling the audience to 'sing, c',mon'. 'When you pay for a concert but get a mute singer. Due took a day off on stage…,' the fan captioned their post. Many people weighed in, including others who were there and joked about the singer 'making them do all the work'. 'When you pay for a concert but get a mute singer,' one quipped. 'This is not even bare minimum,' someone else commented. 'I want a refund, and I didn't even go,' another added. 'That ticket would be a credit card dispute SO FAST,' one person also wrote. Soon after many other people started sharing videos taken at other concerts in which Justin barely sang the song too. More Trending Addressing the singer, one frustrated fan wrote on TikTok: 'Dude they're not paying to have a karaoke session with you.' Justin is next scheduled to perform in Georgia tonight, followed by shows in Azerbaijan and Turkey later this week. Away from the studio and stage, Justin has also appeared in a string of movies too, including Love Guru, The Social Network, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits and Palmer.

I took a risk & ordered extensions on Shein for half the price… my hair is healthier than ever & they lasted NINE months
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BEAUTY fan has revealed that she took a risk and ordered hair extensions from Shein. Much to her surprise, Kim Fegan Hutchinson was left overjoyed when her Shein purchases arrived and now, nine months later, she is still beaming. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A bargain hunter took a risk and ordered cheap hair extensions from Shein Credit: TikTok/kimfeganhutchinso 2 But nine months later, Kim Fegan Hutchinson is overjoyed with her cheap finds and claimed that her hair is now healthier than ever as a result Credit: TikTok/kimfeganhutchinso Not only did Kim nab her hair extensions on the cheap, but she claimed that her locks are healthier than ever now too. Eager to share her honest thoughts on the affordable extensions, Kim, who works in Tesco, took to social media to give her followers a close-up look at her luscious locks, leaving many totally stunned. In the short clip, Kim sat in her car and ran her fingers through her hair, as she penned: 'Update on the Shein tape extensions just because I'm getting new hair put in next week. 'The hair is nine months old and I could easily get 12 months plus from them.' Not only have the extensions, which cost her £80 in total, lasted for months, but even better, they haven't caused any damage to her real hair. She continued: 'My own hair is healthier than ever. 'The best £80 I've ever spent on Shein.' Kim later confirmed that she used three packs of the 9AM hair extensions, in the shade S4. Not only are they great quality, but they're much cheaper than many of the other alternatives on the market. Prices of hair extensions vary largely on the amount and length you decide to have, but Kim's are half the price of average human hair tape extensions, which typically cost around £125 to £150. Ugly side of fashion giant Shein revealed as retailer slammed by rivals for 'unfair tactics' to keep prices low Prior to buying her hair extensions from Shein, Kim splashed the cash on a really posh pair, which on reflection, don't compare to these, as the beauty fan beamed: 'They are way better than my previous ones that I paid £300+ for.' Beauty fans beam The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @kimfeganhutchinso, has clearly left many stunned, as in just five days, it has quickly racked up 480,700 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 16,100 likes, 228 comments and 3,045 saves. With these I have very little hair is so much healthier Kim Fegan Hutchinson Social media users were gobsmacked by the purse-friendly hair extensions and eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'They look amazing.' Another added: 'Ah making me excited, just ordered some.' A third commented: 'Look great! Can you curl as you normally would with professional extensions?' To this, Kim replied and confirmed: 'Yes they curl and straighten lovely.' What is Shein and is it legit? Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world. The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M. The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu. Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam. But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews. There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag. At the same time, someone else asked: 'Does it damage your hair? I'm thinking of doing extensions but just worried it'll thin it.' In response, Kim explained: 'With these I have very little shedding and because I'm not washing, drying, applying heat etc as often as I would have done without them in, my hair is so much healthier.' And it's not just Kim who is a huge fan of these Shein hair extensions - as many other beauty enthusiasts also shared their rave reviews. One user penned: 'I am wearing 9AM S4 and I get soooo many compliments. Best hair ever.' A second agreed: 'I swear by 9AM. I've tried different types in the same price bracket on Shein and I'll always go back to them and the colour match is brilliant.' Whilst another claimed: 'Been using the 9AM red hair extensions since July last year!!' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

How The Camper Kobarah Sandal Has Become A Cool Girl Staple
Let's be honest, Camper has never screamed the coolest brand on the block. Known for its practicality and 'orthopaedic-style' shoes, it's a brand more fitting for an artsy uncle or nerdy cousin. But as we know, fashion has a funny way of spinning the block and what was once considered clunky can be made cool again. Since launching in 2016, the now viral Camper Kobarah Sandal, has garnered quite the Gen-Z fan club, embracing the spongy-sculptural shoe with open arms (or feet and socks). Why the buzz now? Well, since the rise of avant-garde fashion brands - Rick Owens walked so the Spanish brand could run - the doors of genderless footwear have been well and truly flung open - hence all eyes on Camper's Kobarah style. It also helped that Camper expanded its sizing to a UK 11, only adding to its appeal. Almost a decade later, the shoe has graced the feet of influencers and fashion editors alike. The Kobarah sandal - inspired by the snake of the same name – has a heel that wraps the foot and comes with a removable insole to cushion your feet throughout the day, in a way normal heels don't. Cleverly designed, the wedge of the heel is designed to alleviate pressure from the balls of your feet. The silhouette has drawn comparisons to the cult Julian Hake Mojito heel - another sculptural, rule -bending design. While they might raise an eyebrow or a double take, there's no doubt the Kobarah sandal feels relevant to the fashion landscape now, with the rise of maximalism and Y2K there is undeniably a platform for quirky, off-beat pieces. Instagram and TikTok have built a strong case for the shoe and have endless amounts of style inspiration. Just like the oddity that was the Givenchy Marshmallow, or the 2011 Isabel Marants Bekett Sneaker, this is the kind of shoe that will anchor an outfit. The only downside we've spotted is that they fit smaller, so size up – and scroll to shop our favourite colours now. 1. Camper Kobarah Purple Unisex 2. Camper Kobarah White Unisex 3.
