Kelly Ripa enjoyed going to second base with airport security frisking

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos returned from their Switzerland vacation with a little more than just the latter’s freshly shaved head.

On Tuesday morning, the Live cohosts recalled the horrors — and secret pleasures — of going through airport security on their recent European trip, on which Ripa said she triggered one of the airport metal detectors.

“In Switzerland, I got beeped,” Ripa said, adding that she had to remove her shoes. Then, she said, the fun started: “They wanded me, nothing beeped. I got frisked!”

Consuelos joked that he said, “Check her again!” before his wife continued with her story.

“I got frisked, which, I’ve gotta tell you. It was a gentle frisking,” Ripa said. “They’re frisking me, and I was like, go for it! Go all the way for it. Second base. Anyway, we got to second base, we exchanged phone numbers for later. There was nothing, it was like a random beeping.”

Consuelos then transitioned to a story of witnessing a young man who had to be handled by “the gloves” of an airport agent at security, and said he recalled seeing the man being patted in the front and the back.

“If you’re going to touch me in the front, I want it in the back,” Ripa added, as the audience laughed. “Don’t leave me hanging!”

“Sometimes, you’ve gotta kiss me first,” Consuelos joked. “But just sometimes. Depends how late it is.”

The celebrity couple’s exchange comes weeks after Consuelos revealed on the May 28 episode that his crotch once set off an airport security machine.

“There’s no extra zipper, no extra rivets, nothing,” the 53-year-old recalled of having an officer pat him down. “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!”
