Nipple ring search procedures faulty, TSA admits - Page 2

I got the pat down. A couple of times...They say they can do it right there publicly or move to an area more private. I said public. I want people to see for theirselves how your passengers are treated.

One time I told them if they removed anymore clothes I was going to have to start charging them. No freebies. They laughed but I was serious.

The "pat down" is just about as humiliating. Yes that is an underwire....I do not keep explosives in my bra......beep beep!! Touch touch swipe..It's more of a breast swipe. Not a graze...full swipes. In front of everybody...One time there was a 15 yr old girl behind me to get the treatment next. Kind of infuriating. They asked if she was with me, and I said no, this is one of your suspects. (nasty look)

(nods head) . . . and also for healibility, durability, and health reasons.

Although people in the pierced community still cannot agree and will argue passionately about whether or not this jewelry will still set off alarms.

There are many newer places that are using technology that is both ferrous and non-ferrous now. When all they worried about was guns and knifes it was generally only ferrous detectors I believe. I think they need to go to the xray style.

My dad flies out of town and back almost every single week. Surely you're not suggesting it would be medically reasonable for him to get X-rayed 100 times a year?

Backscatter X-rays.

Surely x-ray would be a choice for people who set off the detectors?
Let's face it - if you knew x-ray was an option (ie you have piercings you can't remove), you would go for an alternative?
