This article on aol.com's travel blog, Gadling, quotes TSA agents as acknowledging that traveling with vibrators, whips, handcuffs, lube, and dildos is allowed and that they've seen it all before. If you want to avoid attention while dealing with heightened security procedures this summer, follow a few simple guidelines.

- Take the batteries out and make sure your vibe isn't going to turn itself on in your suitcase or the overhead bin.
- Use the travel lock on your rechargeable toy if it has one. Many do.
- Follow the 3-1-1 rule and travel with 3 ounces or less of lube, massage oil, and other liquids. Lubettes are great for travel. Perfect size and the packets are disposable.
- Take along restraints in silk, satin, or another material that's less likely to draw attention than something with a chain.
- If you're really nervous, a Duckie vibe or Lipstick vibe travels incognito and no one in line will know the difference if it gets pulled out of your bag.
- Size matters, according to the TSA. The general rule is that screwdrivers, etc less than 7 inches are allowed. If you're bringing a large metal toy, like the Eleven, on vacation, something less than 7 inches is less likely to be noticed.
- Know the laws if you're going to a foreign country. Porn is illegal in Saudi Arabia, for instance. Do a little research before you leave.
