Mandi Hamlin, right, claims a Transportation Security Administration agent forced her to remove a nipple ring with pliers in order to board an airplane. She demonstrates what she was asked to do by the TSA during a news conference Thursday, March 27, 2008, in Los Angeles, as her attorney Gloria Allred looks on

Lubbock to Dallas.
350 miles.
Would have been faster, cheaper and simpler to drive. Even without “jewelry” issues.

Probably the only excitement she’s had in decades.

I bet she would have more fun if the agent tried to remove them

Next, we’ll have Muslim Terrorist women getting hand-grenade breast implants, with the rings plated with gold and protruding.
Mark my words...

So why wouldn't it have worked for her to show the female TSA person the "jewelry" in a private setting? Is "bling" now being outlawed on planes?
I have not flown anywhere since long before 9/11, so I have no idea what is or isn't allowed (I hear you have to take your shoes off).
If someone thinks she was going to take over a plane with those little bits of metal, then they shouldn't be allowed to even dress themselves, as their mental capacity is obviously lacking.

ELAINE: I didn’t notice! Oh, what am I going to do? You know your whole life you go through painstaking efforts to hide your nipple and then BOOM, suddenly hundreds of people get their own personal shot of it.

That’s why Helen Thomas never flies ever since she was accused of having pierced knees.

I mentioned that yesterday to Mr. M and he said it wasn’t likely. I, however, agree with you.

You beat me to it. They could even be fags in drag, but the muzzies will learn from this.

It’s a scenario that is surely plausible. The Bad Guys are adept with IEDs, and there is more than a few doctors and surgeons in their midst. A grenade implant would not be beyond their capability. And if they made the shrapnel out of glass marbles or something similar, it would be virtually undetectable with the metal scanner. Wired to the ribs for weight support...
...crikey! I’m spooking myself!

There’s also penis piercings for men. Just for fun, I checked the specifications and found I’d need about 4 pounds of metal.

Count on it. I just watched United 93 for the first time last nite. The muzzies are nothing if not a resourceful, clever enemy.
I thought twice, then three times before posting the implant idea: one doesn’t want to give the Bad Guys ideas after all. But no doubt this will have occurred to them already: it is more important to make sure it occurs to the Good Guys.
Forewarned is Forearmed.
To TWA: you meat-heads! The policy was just fine the way it was.
