Sorry, no nipple picture on this one. The AP is reporting that an attorney for a female airline passenger in Los Angeles is claiming that security agents gave his client a pair of pliers and forced her to remove her nipple ring in order for her to board her flight. TSA spokesperson Dwayne Baird told the AP that he was unaware of this nipple incident. While the TSA has no specific policy on nipple rings or other body mods, if an alarm is triggered they will be forced to investigate and delay a boarding. Other individuals (non-nipple-ringers) with wedding rings or other rings typically can usually pass through metal detectors without setting them off according to Baird. I am proud to say that every sentence in this post has the word nipple in it.
