Nipple Piercings - A Threat To National Security
Rachel Rotten - a danger to national security. And my pants.
In the aftermath of 9/11, just about everything you could imagine became a matter of national security, and not just in the United States either. This became the case in many other countries as well at the same time.
It all becomes slightly TOO ridiculous though when security personnel are not letting women pass through security checkpoints because they have nipple piercings in that are setting off the sensors and what-have-you.
It's also slightly ridiculous when the security personnel in question force her to take said piercings out before passing through security, at great pain to the lady in question. They were completely unapologetic, saying, "until that (alarms ringing) is resolved, we're not going to let them go through the checkpoint, no matter what they're wearing or where they're wearing it."
Very sympathetic! One does wonder though what would happen if there was a gothic pornstars conference in town - how exactly would they get around that? There would be alarms going off left, right and centre.
Indeed, if they had the cast of, say, Gothic Sluts in town then it wouldn't be just the nipple piercings that they would have to worry about - they would be asking pornstars to pluck them out of areas altogether more intimate!
It does also make me worry about my wife should she ever venture to the United States, having many piercings as she does. Still, the prospect of bumping into Jezebelle Bond in a similar pickle can't be all unpleasant!
