💨 Abstract

A traveler was flagged by airport security scanners twice due to excessive sweating in the groin area, a condition nicknamed "swamp crotch." This issue, caused by heat, humidity, or tight clothing, can trigger airport scanners' millimeter wave technology. Sweat's water content reflects these waves, leading to alarms. To prevent this, experts recommend wearing breathable fabrics, using anti-chafing products, and maintaining good hygiene.
