Mark Consuelos says he was packing a little extra in his crotch, requiring closer scrutiny from beleaguered TSA agents at the airport.

Consuelos revealed on Tuesday’s episode of Live With Kelly & Mark that his treasured traveling jeans always get snagged by airport security.
“They’re very soft, they’re not too tight,” Consuelos explained of his beloved denim. However, the garment always poses a problem. “Every time I go through the metal detector, they go off.”
Consuelos noted that when the metal detector goes off, he is usually guided to the body scanner. Of course, this is where things get a bit too personal.
“It shows, like, stuff, in the front area,” Mark awkwardly detailed. That’s when Mark Consuelos’s wife and cohost, Kelly Ripa chimed in with, “You can say crotch.”
“Anyway, the guy is usually a big, burly guy, and he’s like, ‘I’ve got to pat you down, man,'” Consuelos explained. “He goes, ‘You want a private room?'”
Mark Consuelos commended the airport staff for their patience with the troublesome situation involving his crotch. He went on to describe how the agent expertly used the back of their hand during the pat-down.
“There’s no extra zipper, no extra rivets, nothing,” Consuelos marveled. “On the way back home from California, I got stopped again. This time, they just said random.”
“So, I went through. He had to do it again, and he puts on a glove. I’m like, what are we doing? This is just second base, no? We’re just doing second base!”
Noted Exhibitionist Mark Consuelos Has No Plans to Retire His Jeans that Draw Attention to His Crotch
Despite the extra attention paid to his crotch while traveling, Mark Consuelos never mentioned retiring his beloved jeans.
Of course, Consuelos has admitted to being a bit of an exhibitionist.
Earlier this month on their show, he and Ripa discussed the concept of nude beach weddings. Ripa seemed to struggle with the idea.
“Because nothing says ‘I love you’ like seeing your in-laws naked,” Ripa joked. “And seeing your whole future spelled out for you in real-time.”
She seemed to take particular displeasure in seeing men’s private bits after a bit of tanning.
“Some of these guys that choose to go naked, no offense, guys, but you know who you are. And, let me tell you,” she said. “Some of you guys, you know who you are, should put on more clothes. Nobody needs to see it. If we think it’s burned fruit…”
Meanwhile, Mark was all for nude weddings. “I say let your freak flag fly. Let it go, if you are going to get married,” he declared.
