Thread: Woman says TSA forced nipple ring removal

.There a video at the link the women looks harmless, If she was an Arab
bet they would never have bothered her.

I was on an arriving plane where everyone was strip searched en mass,
one room for women and one for men. Anyone who complained was given a whack with a baton.
This was in The Dominican Republic in 1966 and I remember thinking
it will never happen in the USA!
Give up a little freedom in the name of security and who knows whats next.

Yeah, what does she think this is A Constitutional Republic where people have the right to individual Liberties?

I don't think I used the words "individual Liberties" together.

In addition, her right to express her "individuality" does not superseed the greater interest in protecting the public. In other words, if the TSA feels that a nipple ring would pose some threat to the flying public, they have ever right to ask her to remove it. If she does not like it, she does not have to fly.
