A Las Vegas businessman has invented a special underwear with a strategically placed fig leaf design to get modest passengers through the airport screeners with their dignity intact.

Jeff Buske claims his invention uses a powdered metal that protects people's privacy when undergoing security screenings.

Mr Buske, Nevada-Rocky Flats Gear says the underwear's inserts are thin and conform to the body's contours. The mix of tungsten and other metals do not set off metal detectors.

The garments feature either a fig leaf or a clasped hands motif.

If I'm the security agent and I see that, you're asking for a strip search.
