BRIEF: Chicago comedian Hannibal Buress shares tip to 'feel better' about TSA

Feb. 18--Comedian Hannibal Buress jokingly said he likes to improve his experience with airport security by hiding items in the fifth pocket in the front of his jeans when he goes through the body scanner.

Buress, who grew up on the West Side, said he's found scanners don't detect items in that small pocket, and it makes him feel good that he's gotten something past the Transportation Security Administration, an organization that he said "stinks."

"If you put a coin in there, it's just a little thing to make you feel better about life," Buress told Seth Meyers Wednesday on "Late Night." "We gotta use whatever we gotta use to get through, man."

Buress, 33, released his Netflix special "Comedy Camisado" earlier this month. He recently joined the "Baywatch" reboot.

"Late Night" airs weeknights on NBC at 11:35 p.m.
