Kim Kardashian and Kanye West learned that even celebrities are not exempted to the dreaded pat-down frisk at the LAX before they were able to board their flight.

The frisk is awkward enough for normal people, but for the 34-year-old reality TV star, it got even more so. Yahoo! reported that she accidentally flashed her very famous butt as she sat on a nearby bench to take her shoes off for security. [See photo here!]

Kanye, on the other hand, was allowed to keep his trainers, which makes sense because clearly, it is easier to hide a dangerous weapon in your stilettos.

As if her accidental butt flash was not enough, Kim also got an unfriendly pat on her derriere from the female agent as she made sure that Kanye's wife did not have any contraband on her.

The Daily Mail noted that Kim did not have an issue with airport scrutiny, but that she did look a bit shocked at how thoroughly the TSA agent searched her, which not only constituted touching her butt, but looking through her fur scarf as well.

Her LAX airport mishap may be embarrassing to Kim, but at least she looked fashionably fabulous during the entire ordeal. The fashionista was wearing a black leather biker jacket over a black hoodie and slim jeans, her hair parted down the middle and wearing natural makeup. She completed her outfit with a brown leather Hermes bag, as well, described The Daily Mail.

Kanye, on the other hand, looked comfortable in a black Adidas hoodie and a matching long-sleeved shirt, with skinny grey jeans and a pair of suede gray moccasins, the outlet continued.

After going through security, the celebrity couple started to look annoyed, but Kanye was all smiles for his fans as the Daily Mail noted he signed a few autographs for his fans.

Several hours later, Kim posted a selfie on Instagram, captioned, "NYC glam today @joycebonelli @michaelsilvahair."

Things are going well for the couple. They are reportedly moving in to their Hidden Hills mansion in California, after living with Kris Jenner for a while while renovations were taking place.

It should be bliss for the couple and their daughter, North, as they start embarking on their new life as a family.

What do you think about the security protocols at the LAX? Was it necessary to frisk Kim so thoroughly, or is making her take off her shoes a bit too much?
