Local News: Nipple Rings Set off Metal Detectors

March 28th, 2008 Written by: Mali· No Comments

metaldetectors08-03-27A woman got stuck at Airport Security today when she couldn’t make it through the metal detectors because of her nipple rings. The woman as forced to use pliers to remove her nipple rings before she was let on the flight. The woman will be holding a press conference in LA in hopes “to ensure that no other person is forced to suffer” the same fate. 

It is now being asked what the woman had in her nipples? Simple nipple rings do not have enough metal in them to set off a metal detector. So what is she packing in those things?

“I’d be really curious to know what this woman had in her nipples,” Baird said.

“Sometimes they have a chain between their nipples, or a chain between their nipples and their belly button. It would have to be made of heavy metal to be detected.”

Transportation Security employees are required to check anything that raises concerns at checkpoints, Baird said.

“No matter what it is, if it’s something that unduly alarms people or sets off the sensors they must check it,” Baird said. “But I’ve never heard of any of our people having anyone remove something that sounds as small as a nipple ring.”

Allred said that several years ago, celebrity Nicole Richie had her breasts inspected by security at an airport because of her nipple rings. Baird said he was not aware of the Richie incident either.
