"Nip" snip air trauma - Yikes

[MdmeX]

It's bad enough that fliers have to remove their shoes at the airport, but an abundance of caution became uncomfortably bizarre when a Texas woman was ordered to take off her nipple ring - with pliers.

Mandi Hamlin, 37, said she was trying to pass through security to board a flight from Lubbock to Dallas on February 24, when a hand held scanner being passed over her chest went wild.

A Transportation Security Administration agent ordered her to remove her nipple rings. One came off easily, but when the second got stuck, the TSA agent handed her the pliers. She yanked it out in tears.

"No one deserves to be treated this way," said Hamlin, who is considering a lawsuit.

Ouch ! That hurts.

Couldn't she just have acted like a "Girl Gone Wild" and showed them so could see it wasn't dangerous.

She cannot be the first who has ever passed through a scanner with a ring on her nipple or elsewhere, can she? so how de res a dem pass tru'?

Only thing I could think is that she probably had big knockers...de ring dem mi a talk.
