A Texas woman who said she was forced to remove a nipple ring with pliers in order to board an airplane called Thursday for an apology by federal security agents and a civil rights investigation.

Read full story...



Now how in the hell does a nipple ring pose a threat to flight security? A nipple ring is NOT going to explode the airplane. Unless, of course, her nipples rings were cleverly disguised grenade pins. Because that doesn't sound at all ridiculous.

Coincidentally, I fly to Costa Rica tommorrow morning. It reads that you can opt for a pat-down. Awesome, I've never been fondled by an officer. But they get so much as a tweezer close to me let alone some damn pliers and I may have to activate these deadly weapons and swing a titty and knock somebody out with my iron steel nipples.

What the heck are you gonna do? Flop your tits at someone to death causing scratches and cuts, even though there's a bra and shirt covering it?

f**k the patriot act and f**k homeland security.

LOL !

It makes us, Americans, look bad over these type of issue.

America is overly hypersentitive.

LMAO.

Seriously, the whole thing is so stupid though.

oh gosh, i just read the story..i can't believe she had to remove them with pliers

i'm glad airport security is focusing on these important issues.

This story reminds me of how one of my friend's friends got hit by a car and she had nipple rings so they couldn't use that clear thing and they had to cut off her nipples cause they couldn't unscrew them. But, I mean, the female security could've checked her if she didn't want guys doing it but noooo they had to go all hardcore.

Jesus. =/

Makes you wonder what they would do if clitoris or Prince Albert piercings set off metal detectors.

/facepalm

I swear the general public is gonna get so fed up one day, and it won't be pretty.

I hope it happens soon. Government has taken too many f**kin rights from us as it is. f**k false securities.

Not really a weapon as much as something against you, i mean if you piss someone off they could just rip em out haha but i highly doubt it would happen.
The world is getting sooooo stupid anymore.

This is so disgusting. I can't believe they forced her A)to take off her shirt and bra in the middle of the airport and B)take out her nipple rings in front of an officer. Ugh.

She should sue.

Stephen Colbert ripped this line off tonight.

It's like not having 6oz (not sure on the exact number) of liquid per passenger. Like you know... 3+ people can't get together to combine their liquids so that it actually poses a threat. :rollseyes:

*Is going to use my nipples of mass destruction against you all* >:D

wow. i never thought nipple rings would be a threat.
i've actually seen people get stopped because of it, but i've never seen them force the person to take them off.

homeland security these days. psh.

Wow America looks so bad.

We should just get rid of Home Land security... all they are is security officers with guns... that's the only jobs Bush created, nothin else. So when he claims he's given us more security and given us new jobs... that's what he's talkin about, which is laughable.
