I saw this story and haven't formed an opinion yet. While amusing to some, I am sure this was not so amusing to the woman. I do think, knowing the way things are today, that if I had nipple rings I would remove them before I went to the airport.

BTW, I have never been asked to remove my jewelry. The last time I went through airport security was two years ago. Maybe things have changed? Shoot, at that time I was laughing at taking my shoes and sweater off. The security boys were impressed when I started humming a strip tease song as my shoes came off. My mom just about had a heart attack, even though she was tickled.
