Do condoms show up on airport xray?

Nope, the foil packages will show up on the x-ray but the techs know what they are. So they ignore them. No one will look at you and say you are too young to have condoms, unless your mother finds them. No one else cares if you have condoms and there is no law stating an age to buy them in most places.
