Comments on: TSA: We'll Change Rules About Nipple Rings

Agency Stops Short Of Apologizing After Airport Screeners Force Woman To Remove Piercings

LawyerTom1:

It doesn''t matter about infections; nothing matters at all....this woman has every right to wear whatever, even if she had a nipple ring that ended up wrapping around her head-it''s her CHOICE SEE? I fail to understand why anyone has an opinion of how a another person ''should'' live. We all have choices. Who cares if you don''t like it? Butt out control freaks!

To all the people who mocked this woman in response to the article last week: The power is in the people. WE can change what we want.

Real power is measured by the number of able bodied persons willing to fight. This woman made herself count.

Do YOU count?

I think body piercing is really stupid. It opens up the skin to major infections, as several doctor friends of mine have pointed out based on patients they have seen in their practice. However, TSA was really, really stupid. Where was the supervisor? Where was the sanity of these people?

This is the future with Republicrats and Demopublicans increasing the scope of Government "service" and intrusion. This is FEMA, Homeland Security, Social Security, Medicare. etc. - and this WILL be - National Health Care, Bailouts of "foreclosed home-buyers", and increasing federal influence in education. Government is not the answer unless you want inept "one size fits all" bureacracy in every transaction and service.

The next time you go into the hospital maybe they can give you a brain transplant while you are there.

Now the TSA will need special training to recognize a high-explosive *** ornament or a bomb detonator disguised as a "*** ring".

[martin9p2]

If a breast sets off the detector with no *visible* sign of explosive device, will the TSA be allowed "manual palpation" to rule out that a brest implant doesn''t also have a detonator?

I am convinced that terrorists are going to start hiding things in bodily cavities - I mean, why not? Smugglers do it all the time.

hypnotoad72, looooooooool! Didnt even think of that. Uh, I am sorry ma''am, you will have to take your labial rings out.

[hypnotoad72]

Okay, so nipple rings will be excused. How about the even more cretinous who think piercing their gen!talia is a brilliant thing to do?

I''ll get the popcorn, you get the soda...
