Actually a good laugh for me. All comments made it even more interesting. Still reminds me of, around the same year that a Brit was nailed on an aircraft trying to set-off the bomb in the heel of his sneaker.

So my best friends being a Brit/Cdn & his wife Iranian/Cdn were on their way back from Mexico holiday of a month. Yes a Jewish Brit married to a Muslim woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The wife notices said inspectors we next to asking him to "remove his short in public" she thought, so went storming over saying "No more" & had though note she almost has a London Brit accent-------& they demanded she had to take off her boots!! Strange world out there since the big one in NY.

Now... why would they not accept her offer to display the piercings to a female officer in private?!! I guess security was the last thing on their minds! I hope they all get fired!

Anyway, she was not forced to do anything. She was asked to remove the piecing as a condition for flying.

What if the ring had been somewhere even more private....?

Leave it to the Aviation Cops to think of a dangerous application for nipple rings.

If they cannot think of a compelling enough reason to force removal of body piercings, the woman should be compensated fully.

The TSA is a complete joke.

The answer is to take things like that out before you fly. The liquids rule is far more stupid, but people have given up complaining about that now. I'm glad she was stopped, and just hope that all airport security will be this tight, which it currenty isn't.

When nipple rings are outlawed, only outlaws will have nipple rings.

Anyone who has ever watched the McGuiver TV shows in the past should know that he could have made a deadly tool or device out of this woman's nipple rings and the TSA is just protecting the passengers from bodily injury or even death should terrorists board a plane, each pierced to the max and then remove and assemble their devious device made from those numerous rings and pins.
