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

May I ask, did the wand beep when going over your discreet piercings?
but would you have a probelm if they told you you had to take them out to pass through security?
apparently this lady also flew with them in.....
i mean sometimes i get through security with my belt on, sometimes they make me take it off, either way its no problem
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.
:worthless
If you look at her clothed pics, that shot of the bra with nip rings in it is all you are gonna want to see
We flew last week and this week. My wife has ear rings and a belly ring. none of those set off the metal detector. The women in the story should have read the TSA warnings before traveling. BTW, what are those new contraptions that people have to walk through now where you get a series of air bursts shot around you? They didn't have them when we flew last August but they had them at DCA and MIA last week and this week.I've never had a problem going through the metal detectors anywhere and I always have at least 4 piercings in at all times :shrug:
I saw those at the Sea-Air-Space Expo last year. They sample for explosives. Pretty cool!We flew last week and this week.

It's Andy. He's so hard up he even wants to see that.
