The Transport Security Agency in Pittsburgh required a passenger to remove her body jewelry before allowing her to board a flight. I don't think that banning nipple rings makes airplanes safer, do you? What the hell are these dorks doing, wasting our time and tax-dollars to enforce petty, abusive, made-up policies like this? The 2006 elections can't come too soon for me.
At least one passenger who traveled through Pittsburgh learned this the hard way. She had to remove her piercings in a restroom after airport security told her she couldn't get on a plane with her hardware intact.
The pierced passenger filed a complaint with the Transportation Security Administration, which logs all claims against its personnel at airports across the country.
