I really couldn't care less about this woman, and I don't have a problem with the TSA's policy. Yet itlooks as though she might have a case. Maybe not, but knowing our courts, almost anything can make it to trial, and that costs the TSA our money.
I don't think she should have a case but our courts and idiots on juries have proven me wrong many times. For me is the bottom line is that TSAdid not force her to do anything. She did not have to fly on a commercial flight, she CHOSE to. IF you want to fly then you go by their rules. I laugh at her remark about wanting a pat down, if they had done that she would have screamed just as loud. Anyone who hires Gloria Allred is simply looking for money and/or fame. JMO

That happened in my home town. Here is something else interesting about the grand old town of Lubbock Texas.
Lubbock Ranks Last in Bad Teeth Study
March 14, 2008 - 6:08pm
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - If you're looking for cavity-free pearly whites, search anywhere but Lubbock. A new study in next month's Men's Health magazine says this West Texas city has the worst teeth of the 100 large U.S. cities examined. El Paso (No. 95), San Antonio (89) and Dallas (87) weren't far ahead. The magazine said the best teeth could be found in Madison, Wis.; Nashville, Tenn.; and Raleigh, N.C.
The study used data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the number of annual dentist visits, canceled appointments, regular flossers and households using flouride.
Some blame the high level of fluoride in Lubbock's well water. Dentists say too much fluoride in the water may cause the enamel on teeth to become rough, leaving brown or white stains. Others say the high cost of dental care is to blame, leaving poor people without proper checkups or education.
Some people questioned the study.
John Epperson, a longtime Lubbock dentist, said some people take excellent care of their teeth and some don't.
"My expectation is people in Lubbock are like people around the country," he said.

RE: TSA: Can't Board Until Nipple Rings Are Out
I can understand the removal. What would be more intrusive, the removal of the nipple rings, or a strip search. If I were getting on a plane with her, I"™d like to know that it was just jewelry that set off the metal detector and not something else. I, as well as most here, have had to remove watches, take off necklaces, empty pockets, remove shoes, and do other things to prove we were not carrying malicious devices onto an air plane. And since the metal detector went off, she had to prove it was just the nipple rings and nothing else.

What kind of a dumass even tries to go thrua metal detector with any kind of metal piercing?
Just about every female over the age of 10 and many teenage guys!
If you set off the detector, you need to prove its just the jewelry, whether its in your ear, belly button
boob or other "places"
The only leg she will have to stand on is the lines about hearing people laughing at her, in todays courts, that
will probably be emotional distress worth millions.
I should have been more specific. What kind of an idiot goes into a situation like that with a piercing that they know will cause a scene if they get caught. Thats a bit different than the typical woman quickly pulling out her earrings and going on thru.
