TSA Makes Woman Remove Nipple Rings: 2008 Video Shows TSA Abused Power Long Before Outrage

For Americans who haven't been paying attention--too busy with American Idol and Dancing with the Stars--the outrage against the TSA is nothing new. Here is a video from 2008 that outlines the abuses of power from the TSA in airports. Notice how little the stories have changed in two years, and remember in 2008 they didn't have the enhanced pat downs and naked body scanners yet. They were already harassing people over their genitalia, like the woman who was required to remove her nipple rings. The one man tells TSA pulled down his pants as the TSA agent screamed "I have power, I have power." His only crime was having a knee implant. This video is from Chicago 2, the CBS affiliate.
