Title: Only in America...Part Deux!

Woman told to remove nipple rings before SoCal flight. Perhaps they *could have* been connected to a couple of implants that were grenades? ;)

I`m sending in an application for head of nipple ring inspections.

yeah. i was thinking just that. Do they rely on a metal detector or do they go an extra mile and actually squeeze?

 ya remove nipple rings, strip search granny but lets leave the southern border wide open. 

 I travel in and out of Canada several times a year and last year I went to Mexico. Since I have a nice natural tan I get all the good attention at the airport/border. I'm fine with getting profiled to make the country safer but its ridiculus when we have such a flawed system.

Some jobs just can`t be trusted to equipment. It takes a hands on approach.
