0I read an CNN article about a woman claiming she was harrassed by security staff at an airport. 02br
00She walked through the metal detector and it beeped. So, a security official told her to step aside and swept her body with02br
00a portable metal detector. The detector beeped when it passed over her chest. It turned out that she was wearing metal02br
00piercings on her nipples. She was taken behind a curtain and told to remove them. After a few minutes, she removed02br
00a ring piercing. During the time, she overheard the female security officer talking to her male collegues about it and a02br
00male officer laughed. Irritated, she had trouble removing a second piercing, a bar-shaped piercing. When the female office was02br
00told about the problem, she gave her a pair of pliers. With tears in eyes, she removed the piercing. Another sweep beeped02br
00over her stomach but the officer let her board the plane. Later, she found out that passengers have the right to request02br
00for a pat down search and would have chosen the option if she'd been informed. 02br
02br
00Please correct any mistakes.02br
02br
00Thanks in advance!0-
