Ladies, make sure you wear a sport bra before going to a courthouse in Idaho.

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. |

I think that if they are going to demand that a person who enters the court has no unidentified metal on them then they need to ensure they have a security guard of both sexes there. I can appropriate why the needed to confirm no weapons are hid(gun in a bra? we a deringer I guess might fit pending on the lady.) Even a blind that is there so the person can remove the metal be re-scanned. Then a second blind for re dressing as one would have to ensure a weapon was not removed in behind the first blind and then retrieved.
Over all a poorly thought out security plan.
