Woman angry over airport nipple ring incident...ouch!

[EternalOptimist]

I have had an eight inch nut and bolt holding my heid on since I was born seven weeks ago, if I removed it my heid would fall off.
Do you think I should avoid the USA ?

An American woman has complained she was forced to remove a nipple ring with pliers in order to board an aircraft in Texas.

Mandi Hamlin has now demanded a civil rights investigation as well as an apology over her treatment by America's Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

She'll take them to the cleaners on this one, no question about it. That's officiousness taken to absurd limits.

I can't understand why they have a problem with nipple rings anyway - You'd think they'd welcome them, especially large nipple bars, because if a terrorist did suddenly stand up mid flight and lob a hand grenade, this the lady could just grab it and hold it to her chest and use her ring as a makeshift pin to render it harmless.

In the event of technical problems they don't want the confusion of deciding which ring to pull to activate Roger the automatic pilot. See the movie "Airplane" for further info.

I can remember reading about a bloke who had one, and was getting head from his girlfriend.

Ever get that experience from a Kit Kat where a little bit of the metal hit a metal filling and pain shoots through you?

She threw her head back in paid and ripped the thing out with her teeth.

Ouch.

I heard of some guy with nipple rings the size of curtain rings - Half way through a doorway he met someone coming the other way and moved sideways holding the door open to let the other person pass. The door then swung shut with his nipple ring in the crack between the door and the doorway ..

I remember reading about a bloke years ago, got an armload of stuff out of the car and thrust the door closed/locked with his hip's, baggy trousers, trapped penis and passers bye ignored his pleas for assistance for several hours

I wonder what they'd do with me. My body is chock full of surgical ironmongery.

Probably give me a scalpel and a curtained cubicle

If an alarm does sound, "until that is resolved, we're not going to let them go through the checkpoint, no matter what they're wearing or where they're wearing it."

Americans are very, very stupid people.

That's a Racist remark that is.

Friendly fire anyone?

So stupid they need to have McDonalds coffee cups with "CAUTION - HOT" painted on them or they'll go all legal on your ass.

If only disarming a grenade was that simple......
