64. Piercing don’t register on/in the metal detector unless you have actual metal!!!!!!!! 99.999999% of piercing jewelry is made out of surgical steel and doesn’t register on any metal detector. I have 4 piercing including tongue, le brae and my ears and never and I mean NEVER registered. I can guarantee you that those nipple rings didn’t either unless the woman had fake jewelry (which causes massive infections when inserted into live tissue) but I am pretty sure she had her jewelry wasn’t fake. Some older bras have metal under wire (cheap kind) and I bet that is what registered and not her nipples. People please be more informed before you accuse “the Nipples of Mass Destruction”

65. This was ridiculous, and inappropriate. Remember she already passed through the walk through detector. The agents should be reprimanded and there should be some restitution for stupidity by the TSA.

67. So, were the TSA agents fired from their job for abusing their power? Probably not, but they should have been. It's an example of "the letter of the law vs. the spirit of the law". The letter of the law says anything metallic can't go through. The spirit of the law is that the TSA agents involved should have used their idiotic brains that told them this girls nipple ring wasn't a bomb or anything that could be used in a hostile takeover of an airplane. Everyone knows that those guys were just getting off on making that girl remove it. We all know it, and yet the agents are allowed to get away with it. They really should lose their jobs over this.

68. Actually I've been training dogs to sniff out vaginal rings at airports......for when I can't do it myself, that is.

69. Ok, first of all for all those who dont have nipple piercings, it is not easy to "just take it out".
I have gone through a experience like this, I was flying home and they pulled me aside to do an individual scan. When they scanned over my boob the scanner beeped. I was very honest with them and said, "oh that is just my nipple ring", at that point they said you can take it out, or we will being in a woman to do a hand search. I obviously chose the hand search and all she did wa cope a little feel, with my bra on, it is no big deal.

70. This is just another case of idiotic, under educated, airport security personell (who could not get a job befor Sept. 11) overstepping their authority. It is not reasonable to remove piercings to get through airport security, and the woman did offer to show that these were not dangerous. It is not any law that you have to remove this stuff, only that you have to cooperate to show & explain when asked. Anyone thinks that this was "the law", then what are you going to do when the airport security askes you to remove metal plates from your skull or metallic implants from your spine? Anyone that thinks this is reasonable will surely go for the implanted chip that knows all, including what you think. Welcome Big Brother & all of your mindless sheep.
I have had things stolen, damaged & pilfered by these morons with no apparent sense of responsibility. I hope she sues & gets a hundred million bucks except for the fact that it will come out of my pocket because of our government idiots.

71. I think the policy is fine and the woman is crying over nothing. The policy says no metal that sets off the alarm and after 911 I think that's a good thing. She shouls have taken them out before hand. Hey, let's not stop here. Nipple rings are ridiculous anyway. They get in the way of all the fun that you can have with nipples. Wear your jewelry somewhere else.

72. I have piercings like that and I also have the same type of jewelry in my piercings. It is not that hard to remove!!! I have had to several times for medical procedures, etc. Also, I went through an airport and set off their little machine. They wanded me and it went off. I told them what it was (nipple and navel) and they had a female look at them and let me go through. I have the small rings and can remove them with my fingers. I don't need pliers to to do. What is that chick's problem? I can pop mine in and out with no problem. Oh, I'm over 50 and it doesn't bother me when people ask about them.

73. OK, I understand that this woman's privacy MAY have been violated... MAY. But here is where I have trouble... What the heck is a 37 year old doing getting the nipple rings PUT BACK IN? My Goodness!!! When are people going to GROW UP!?!?! "Oh, I'm 37 and have nipple rings"... good for you... I wouldn't want to hang out with you, but good for you and your nipple rings! Personally, when I'm with a woman I don't like the taste of metal.

74. Neither of these two females was gifted with brains.

Certainly there has to be better things to report on. She should ahve know these things would set off the alarsm.

She simply should not have worn them.

Total waste of our dollars even reporting this junk,
