To See Their Clients In Jackson County's Jail, Attorneys Now Must Remove Their Bras

New security measures at the Jackson County Detention Center are causing some controversy after female attorneys complained they are required to remove their underwire bras in order to enter.

In a tweet Monday, Jackson County Sheriff Daryl Forté called this "misinformation," saying that "no one was asked to take off underwire bras."

But attorney Laurie Snell told KCUR that she had to take her bra off to pass through a metal detector to see a client on Friday. After setting off the alarm a few times, she said she removed her jewelry and glasses, but it still went off.

"I said, 'Well, there's nothing else. There's no other metal except my underwire bra.' And he said, 'You have to pass through security,'" Snell said.

Is this really worth an outrage?

I mean, do you really LIKE underwire bras? Given that it is ... I mean ... JAIL, and all.

Just sayin' ... with everything else going on ...

Maybe I just don't understand, won't be the first time.

Veterans and shooting victims have to remove all remaining fragments?

Once in a while the scanner beeps on me because of something like a dime or paper clip hidden in a pocket somewhere and they just pull out the wand.

I suspect one or more of the minimum wage security "guards" was, shall we say, exceeding his authority.

(And, no, I will NOT discuss the incident of the bronze butt plug.)

in extra wanding or a pat down on a few occasions. I would have thought that the xray could identify something that is worn everyday by countless women.

I’ve volunteered at a women’s prison for several years, and I know the routine. I wear pull-on pants, shoes with no metal on them, no belt, no jewelry except my wedding ring. I’ve never even thought about the underwire in my bra and, for years, I’ve sailed through security without a beep.
