日前，美国爱达荷州一家法院门前发生一件咄咄怪事：一名安全警卫拦住一名妇女，要求她摘掉乳罩，否则就不准她进入法院。
据美国媒体10月5日报道，被警卫拦住的这位妇女名叫洛里。9月20日，她和丈夫一起前往法院出席一场民事诉讼的听证会。
当她穿过金属探测器的时候，探测器突然警报大作。
这时，一名警卫问她：“你是否戴了钢丝乳罩？”洛里回答说：“是的。”那人说：“你必须摘掉它。”
洛里的丈夫只好拉开外套，遮挡洛里。洛里随后在法庭人来人往的门廊里摘掉乳罩，放到传送带上，接受X光机器的检查。
Woman told to ditch bra to enter court
Underwire supports of garment had set off alarm at federal facility

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - Security guards refused to allow a woman into a federal courthouse until she removed a bra that triggered a metal detector.
Lori Plato said she and her husband, Owen Plato, were stunned when U.S. Marshals Service employees asked her to remove her bra after the underwire supports set off the alarm.
"I asked if I could go into the bathroom because they didn't have a privacy screen and no women security officers were available," Plato said Wednesday. "They said, 'No.'
"I wasn't carrying a shank in my bra. If it's so dangerous, why did they give it back and let me put it on?"
Patrick McDonald, the U.S. Marshal in Boise, said appropriate security protocols were followed in the Sept. 20 matter, and guards suggested she simply remove the bra in her car outside, or find a restaurant bathroom.
"She's inflating it," McDonald said. "All of a sudden she just took it off. It wasn't anything we wanted to happen and it wasn't anything we asked for her to do. She did it so fast."
Plato, of Bonners Ferry, said she was parked on a busy street and wasn't familiar with downtown Coeur d'Alene businesses. So her husband held up his coat to shield her from the rest of the people in the courthouse lobby while she removed her bra underneath her shirt.
Not generally a security threat
Generally, McDonald said, undergarments aren't considered a danger to security.
"I don't think they're considered a weapon, really, the last time I looked," he said.
He declined to discuss other ways the federal courthouse guards could have screened Plato for weapons.
Plato wants the Marshals Service to apologize and stop forcing women to disrobe.
"It was very humiliating," her husband, Owen Plato, said. "They could have handled it with a much more professional attitude."
