Traveler says she was forced to remove nipple ring

I'm amused that a woman that looks like she smells a fart has knocker knockers.

Hamlin, 37, said she was trying to board a flight from Lubbock to Dallas on February 24 when she was scanned by a Transportation Security Administration agent after passing through a larger metal detector without problems.

Hamlin said she could not remove them and asked whether she could instead display her pierced breasts in private to the female agent. But several other male officers told her she could not board her flight until the jewelry was out, she said.

On its Web site, the TSA warns that passengers "may be additionally screened because of hidden items such as body piercings, which alarmed the metal detector."

"If you are selected for additional screening, you may ask to remove your body piercing in private as an alternative to a pat-down search," the site says.

Hamlin would have accepted a "pat-down" had it been offered, Allred said.

I guess it is a matter of interpretation.

i think it is pretty clear when you walk into an airport that you are at the mercy of TSA.

i think if they want to cavity search you, they can if they have a reason.....
she should consider herself lucky

Sounds to me like she was just trying to get someone to feel her up for cheap

I know someone that has her va jay-jay pierced (along with the nipples). Can you imagine the crowd she would draw if they made her remove them? I can see her refusing to stand behind a curtain to do it.

I've never had a problem going through the metal detectors anywhere and I always have at least 4 piercings in at all times

May I ask, did the wand beep when going over your discreet piercings?

I had the wand once and it did not go off when it went over those piercings. I do believe I was in the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport when I had to do that.

I would not have a problem if asked to take any of mine out and I sure wouldn't be crying because of it. If you properly take care of the piercings, you do not have a problem getting the jewelry out...well...unless the jewelry itself is being retarded and a ball won't unscrew.
