31. The people that screen at airports are out of control. I have flown many times since 9/11 and I'm sick and tired of being treated like a terrorist ! I think it's about time somebody sues them. At least it brings awareness to their ignorance.

Like a nipple ring is going to blow up an airplane. Give me a break !

32. its funny that some of you folks diss TSA employees and claim they make minimum wage, Well as a tsa employee i can tell you that they start at nearly $15 an hour and although we do have some people who dont have higher education like most of you, we have some smart people. Also if some of you guys think TSA officers are some dumb why do you travel....oh thats right you have no choice. Well just prepare yourself because the TSA will eventually be taking over all modes of transportation....rail, marine and public....so to my unemployed folks out there....get your applications ready....

35. TSA employees start at $23K per year full time per USA today. With 52 weeks in a year, at 40hrs a week, that averages out to $11 an hour, or roughly 1/3rd the hourly wage of a garbage man in my large, West coast city. 67% leave their jobs before they've been in the job 2 years. The turnover is enormous, and one can see why if you can make more money working at Starbucks. Heck, you make more money cleaning toilets at our county jail than TSA screeners make!

36. We travel alot for both business and pleasure and have never been treated badly by TSA employees. In fact, they have always been very courteous. I'm so glad they are doing their job.

39. I don't understand why anyone would want to get her nipples pierced. If you do that, YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY THE PAIN OF CHILDBIRTH. That, I know about...

Staph is nothing to mess around with! I spent a day in the hospital just a couple weeks ago with IV antibiotics thanks to a staph infection. They sent me home with pain meds and a hefty dose of antibiotics.

I contracted it from a nipple piercing. I had the piercing done 5 months ago, and all of a sudden I start having serious pain. I had my FH take me to the ER the day I started hurting severely (which happened to be the day after I started getting tender), and the doctor told us we were lucky I came in so quickly and it hadn't spread to my heart or lungs or done any damage to my breast. I thank God I reacted to the pain so quickly. It honestly was hard not to though, because it effing HURT! Like, stay perfectly still and don't even breathe hurt.

So yes ladies, please watch out for this! I never thought it would've been staph, but I'm super happy I went to the hospital. That decision may have been the only thing that saved my breast that day.

42. You people who are telling this woman to get over it, wait until you are asked to do something equally humiliating!! You will be singing a different tune then. I hate Gloria Allred, but what those TSA agents did was wrong, they should be fired.

Don't be stupid, that's the lawyer not the victim.

44. The airline owes this lady nothing-not even an apology. Wear nipple rings if you want to-it's your choice-- but be prepared to remove the 'jewelry' at the airport. Doesn't everybody know the drill by now-sheesh!! It will go off at the metal detector-duh! If you don't want to go through that 'humiliation'-don't wear 'jewelry' that will need to be removed with pliers. Dumb lady.....
