In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in
the Red Queen's Race...
Ahem....Not a Dangerous Weapon

It’s just a fact since 9-11…
And everyone who travels by air should know it by now.
The rules are more strict.
Some metal detectors are set higher than others.
You must remove your jewelry before passing through metal detectors.
TSA workers are not always consistent.
But here’s a warning for you…especially for women.
If you are planning on traveling by way of Lubbock, TX, and you have nipple rings….
Remove them at home.
Read about what one woman went through in Texas when she was required to remove her nipple rings in order to board a flight, including having to use pliers to do so, on MSNBC
Nipple Rings Cause Airport Security Issue í here
Oh, boo hoo
You know what?
I don't feel too sorry for Mandi Hamlin.
If she's got some medical reason she can't remove her freak jewelry before she comes to the airport, maybe she can come with a doctor's release.
I know what I can take and what I can't when I go.
Yes, it's strict.
But with the metal left on her body, it could, in a rare case be masking something else that could be hidden on her.
I know that's reaching...but who knows who that one terrorist will be?
And if you are on a plane, do you want TSA to take a chance?
Should they apologize, if that's all she is asking for?
Well, if they were in fact laughing at her, or rude, then yes.
But not for making her remove the jewelry.
And you've got to hand it to Attorney Gloria Allred...she sure can pick the cases.
