After bra flap, federal courthouse adds changing room

After bra flap, federal courthouse adds changing room - Northwest - The Olympian - Olympia, Washington

There's an update on the underwire bra flap at the federal courthouse in Coeur d'Alene.

Earlier this week, a woman complained she was forced to remove her bra before going through the metal detector.

But yesterday, the U.S. Marshal's Service announced it was adding a changing room - so people with garments that include metal bits could take them off in private.

Marshal Patrick McDonald in Boise says, "We don't want anyone to be embarrassed when they come to the courthouse."

Lori Plato, who says her husband shielded her with his coat as she removed the offending article of clothing, says she's pleased to hear of the changes.

Plato says, "Nobody else has to go through this. It's a good thing."

Notice how they don't actually say they made a mistake. The time of the slippery slope has passed. We've fallen over the side. So many of our rights have been taken away that it's a good day if the cops don't strip you naked and taser you.

They have that wand thing. They could have just run that over her.

I think she has a sexual harassment case.
