Woman Forced To Remove Nipple Rings Before Flight
It should be noted that when Nicole Ritchie was forced to remove hers, they gave her a choice of one the designer pliers pictured to remove her nipple rings.
Apparently, these things can be deadly…
LOS ANGELES ― 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.”
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.
The Transportation Security Administration does not have a specific policy addressing nipple rings or any other jewelry, said TSA spokesman Dwayne Baird. Baird said he did not know of the incident Allred mentioned in her statement.
“I’d be really curious to know what this woman had in her nipples,” Baird said. “Sometimes they have a chain between their nipples, or a chain between their nipples and their belly button. It would have to be made of heavy metal to be detected.”
Transportation Security employees are required to check anything that raises concerns at checkpoints, Baird said.
“No matter what it is, if it’s something that unduly alarms people or sets off the sensors they must check it,” Baird said. “But I’ve never heard of any of our people having anyone remove something that sounds as small as a nipple ring.”
Allred said that several years ago, celebrity Nicole Richie had her breasts inspected by security at an airport because of her nipple rings. Baird said he was not aware of the Richie incident either.

She actually looks pretty in that picture. Probably air-brushing.
Well, ya never know, Bash … She could have been a jihadi and taken the pilot hostage with her titties … I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:32 pmI have been taken hostage by titties before. the hijacker was very nice though, i actually formed stockholm syndrome for almost 2 years the last time it happened
March 27th, 2008 at 1:54 pmI can see the headline now drill, “WOMAN TAKES JETLINER HOSTAGE WITH NIPPLE RING.”
March 27th, 2008 at 1:56 pmYou better watch those Nipple Rings, There a Killer. Give me a Friggin Break!
March 27th, 2008 at 2:06 pmTSA (Thugs Standing Around) agents with too much time on thier hands will find something creative to occupy themselves. Must have had a good laugh later showing off the consficated nipple rings.
I always enjoy watching them wand a 6 year old, haven’t figured out what they expect to find though. meanwhile 2 arabs with attitude walk on by. Go figure
March 27th, 2008 at 2:13 pmWell I couldn’t resist…a chain long enough to go from nipple to nipple, or from nipples to belly button, could possibly be used as a garrote by an enterprising, demented jihadi. It’s probably against some Sharia law for a Muslim woman to have anything pierced, but you know, jihadis are allowed to break Islamic law if it serves their higher purpose of murdering infidels.
March 27th, 2008 at 8:52 pmTSA (Too Many Stupid Assholes) are so infiltrated by muzzies it would make you sick. Way too many muzzies are on their payroll. If you ask me, if anyone at an airport needs frisking, it’s the TSA people…and the idiots that hired them in the first place. So who’s wanding the watchers?
