Woman handed pliers, told to remove nipple rings before boarding flight
A woman was forced by the Transportation Security Administration to remove her nipple rings before she was allowed to board a flight, a local attorney said today.

“The woman was given a pair of pliers in order to remove the rings in her nipples,” said Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred. “The rings had been in her nipples for many years.”
Allred and the woman planned to hold an early-afternoon news conference in Los Angeles to explain what they plan to do “to ensure that no other person is forced to suffer” the same fate, the attorney said in a statement.
Allred said that several years ago, celebrity Nicole Richie had her breasts inspected by security at an airport because of her nipple rings.
Well, three insanities - if you include Gloria Allred

What were they afraid of, a Richard “Shoe Bomber” Reid type “Nipple Bombing” attack?
Perhaps they just wanted to see her breasts and used the rings as an excuse? I wouldn’t put it past them.

Nipple bombing - very funny.
A new type of insanity.
