A TSA agent told a woman she would have to remove her nipple rings if she wanted to pass the security checkpoint. The woman has retained Gloria Allred as her attorney.
A woman was forced by the Transportation Security Administration to remove her nipple rings before she was allowed to board a flight, an attorney said on Thursday.”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.”
I ran across this today, while checking out the news. Looks like the TSA is changing their policy about body piercings. Interestingly it looks like the TSA agents were acting according to policy before.
