Title: TSA and nipple rings
Post by: airtac on March 29, 2008, 03:34:10 PM
I was just checking out the story about a woman in Lubbock Texas who was "humiliated" by TSA when they made her remove her nipple rings before they would let her pass through security. Seems TSA now admits they got a little carried away and are changing policy to allow a same-sex visual inspection instead of requiring removal. I'm sure relieved to hear this................. ::sweat::
I mean, they're already profiling me whenever I go through airport security ::complaining: I'm known as "the White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, Senior Citizen, Security Risk" ::eek:: and must be frisked manually almost every time they see my shifty leering eyes in the scanners ::banghead::

Seems I have to get rid of my ponytail if I am to come to the US.. Would help with my profiling..
Just a thought: What if it were sexual organ piercing instead of nipple ones? ::loony::

Hahahahaha---that would definitely call for an inspection (we could make some naughty comments here but please don't---this is a "G" rated board) ::rofl:: ::rofl:: ::rofl:: ::rofl::
But while we're on the subject I would like to ask anyone with that sort of piercing-----------"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING !!!" ::loony:: ::unbelieveable::

had my tooth paste taken away last week in Hot Springs, AR ::loony:: ::complaining: There wasn't much left in it (less than 3oz.) but they said it's the size of the container that matters.....
but at least I feel much safer now flying in an 1900 with that problem solved ::) ::whistle:: ::sulk:: ::loony::

no wonder the wright flyer did not fly high or fast......it was the weight of Wilbur's (was he the pilot?) tongue piercing holding it back ::rofl:: ::rofl::

maybe should make a strip (or single panel rather) with Wilbur and Orville where one doesn't let the other bring toothpaste . . . . ;) ;D

Good Idea, Mike. Make TSA also have them remove their piercings.
The tough thing about making fun of TSA is that they have absolutely NO sense of humor! I doubt they'd get it at all...

I can see Chuck telling Orville Wright; "Sorry, that 5 oz toothpaste tube is not allowed even if it's almost empty" ::knockedout::
On a note of reality--I saw the TSA at VPS tell a woman to toss a perfume bottle because it was 4.3 ounces--A WHOLE .3 OF AN OUNCE OVER THE LIMIT!! ::rambo::
I guess rules is rules is rules is rules and there is NO flexibility and well as NO humor in the TSA (reminds me of scene in "MIB" where Tommy Lee Jones says "no ma'am the FBI has no sense of humor that we're aware of") ::rofl::

;D That's what I had in mind but when I pitched it to my brother we came up with a far better one. Doesn't include the Wright Brothers but you guys will like it. Maybe I can post it in here when he's done....
I thought the limit was 3 oz. ::thinking:: Does it depend on the TSA or on the airport?

Aw, now, you're not paying attention G-Man..... ::complaining:
It's the "Toothpaste Snatchers Association"..... just ask Mike, and all the rest of us poor travelers who now have cavities.... ::complaining:
::loony:: ::loony:: ::loony:: ::loony::
HA HA !! ::rofl::
That almost made it worthwile spending money on toothpaste which I won't get to use....

I think you're right with 3 oz---so it was a WHOLE 1.3 ounces over the limit and we all know what 1.3 ounces of subatomic antimatter loaded into a phaser can do ::eek::

That remides me... I think our lovely Toothpaste Servailence Association officer is coming soon to inspect our pilot/flight school records here... Have to remind all the students to hide their toothpaste and piercings ;D

Ya know.. it would be rude to NOT do a comic of Chuck removing his "nipple ring". ::whistle:: ::whistle:: Don't let us down.. ::whistle:: ::whistle::

That's right my friend! ;)
They MAY have let the .3 oz. slide but A WHOLE 1.3 ounces !!?? !! ::eek:: :o
I have to side with them !!! That's definetly a security risk!!! ::whistle::
I mean, we all know that 3 oz. won't blow up an airplane, but 4.3 . . . . . just might ::loony::

Hmmm, Interesting question. ::thinking:: I have done some research ::type:: and here are my observations:
Well now--they have breasts--and every other breast I have seen has nipples, (some very nice ones I might add). Even I have nipples--whos purpose I have yet to discover---maybe they are there to hold a piercing, or maybe just for sexual pleasure. I have seen and held live chickens up close--I used to have 2 dozen many years ago, (on a side note--they are easy to hypnotise--but I digress). I never did shave a chicken on order to look at its breasts, (note plural--2 breasts per chicken), therefore I never actually saw a nipple.
I know, chickens lay eggs, so they shouldn't have nipples. But going by that logic, whales and dolphins should have nipples since they give birth to babies, not eggs. They sell chicken milk in Bulgaria, and it would only make sense that the milk was obtained from squeezing chicken nipples.
Conclusion--Undetermined--we need photographic evidence..Anyone??
::whistle:: ::whistle::

"every other breast I have seen has nipples"--quote Gman-- Breast being singular and nipples being plural leads me to think that helicopter pilots are indeed strange people---just exactly how many are there per unit, I might ask? ::unbelieveable::

Ahhh..ya got me there..herein lies some further investigation--Most dogs have eight--hence normally eight puppies, women have two, yet on "average" have one child, ::thinking::
So riddle me this: Bra--singular, panties--plural ::thinking:: ::thinking::
And people wonder why I lie awake at nights.. ::whistle:: ::whistle::
