If you needed another reason to dislike the TSA, here it is:
Hamlin, 37, said she was trying to board a flight from Lubbock to Dallas on February 24 when she was scanned by a Transportation Security Administration agent after passing through a larger metal detector without problems.
The female TSA agent used a handheld detector that beeped when it passed in front of Hamlin's chest, the Dallas-area resident said.
Hamlin said she told the woman she was wearing nipple piercings. The agent called over her male colleagues, one of whom said she would have to remove the jewelry, Hamlin said.

She's not exactly the most attractive woman, so I wonder if that's one of the reasons why the jerks behind the badges decided it had to be done. I wonder if it was some intense hottie, if she would have been treated the same way?
