I just read a story, via "Drudge Report" about two women who refused to be body scanned before they boarded a flight to Pakistan.
I say KUDOS for the British for holding the line.
If these two women, who just happen to be Muslim, do not want to follow the rules, they can walk or take a slow boat to Paskistan.
My safety and security should NEVER take a back seat to someone's religion.

"Two female passengers who were booked to fly out of Terminal Two refused to be scanned for medical and religious reasons. In accordance with the government directive on scanners, they were not permitted to fly. Body scanning is a big change for customers who are selected under the new rules and we are aware that privacy concerns are on our customers’ minds, which is why we have put strict procedures to reassure them that their privacy will be protected.” - A Spokeswoman for Manchester International Airport
A Texas woman who said she was forced to remove a nipple ring with pliers in order to board an airplane called Thursday for an apology by federal security agents and a civil rights investigation.
"I wouldn't wish this experience upon anyone," Mandi Hamlin said at a news conference. "My experience with TSA was a nightmare I had to endure. No one deserves to be treated this way."
Hamlin, 37, said she was trying to board a flight from Lubbock to Dallas on Feb. 24 when she was scanned by a Transportation Security Administration agent after passing through a larger metal detector without problems.

HEY.....MANDI HAMLIN.....ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!!
Get them damn nipple rings out before you board an airplane. What makes you think you have the right to board a plane with medal on (or in) your body. I certainly would not be allowed to board.
Everything in life is about "attitude." This woman should have used her head when she was dressing for the flight. Why would a 37-year-old woman want to have her nipple's pierced? That is just CRAZY!!!
How can she thing she as a civil rights complaint? I didn't know nipple piercings were a civil right.
HEY.....MANDI HAMLIN.....YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!!
