On the one hand- you have the TSA doing what they do best- harassing innocent people. As a heavily pierced female, I know that they tend to make you take them out. And its crap. But they do it cause they can. For future reference, they should be given piercing pliers to let people use. They work backwards and are designed for captive bead piercings.
On the side of being heavily pierced (and tattooed) and knowing proper after care- what was this lady thinking? She said it was painful because the skin had started to grow around the piercing. That's bad care on her part. Even a shit shop will tell you to move the piercing around as it heals to prevent that. If that was happening with hers, the TSA did her a favor by saving her surgery. I know nipple rings can hurt- I had them done. I also had one of mine rip out. They're horribly sore while healing.
Another fail on her part- not removing them ahead of time. When I fly, I take a small pill bottle or bag with me- and put all my piercings in there to go through the check. Simple enough.
On a side note- I will be avoiding flying like the plague with all these new rules. I get twitchy (sometimes violently) if strangers touch me. So I'm gonna avoid airports and the groping that comes with. I prefer to drive anyway.
