US Instagram Model Booted Off Plane after Vibrator Buzzing In Her Suitcase Causes Commotion

A plane passenger in the US was left red-faced when a vibrator in her carry-on luggage began buzzing shortly before takeoff, prompting crew members to ask her to deplane from the aircraft and reveal the source of the noise.

The incident, captured on video and shared on social media platforms, has amassed millions of views on TikTok. The passenger was later identified as influencer Amanda Diaz Rojas, who has over 2,50,000 followers on Instagram, according to the New York Post.

In the footage, flight attendants are seen directing Rojas to remove her suitcase from the overhead locker after it begins buzzing. With laughter and embarrassment, Rojas complies and takes her suitcase to the jetway, where she switches off the device, surrounded by amused airline staff.

One commenter advised the famous Instagram model to remove the batteries from her sex toys before flying in the future. According to US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guidelines, electronic sex toys are permitted in both carry-on and checked bags, but TSA officers have the final say on whether an item is allowed through security.

Travelers are often advised to take precautions such as removing batteries from devices, checking sex toys rather than carrying them on, and opting for less conspicuous items, The Post said. The report adds that travelers should be aware of restrictions on adult toys in certain countries, including India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Maldives, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, where such items may be confiscated.
