" The person who posted the comment that Ms. Plato could have worn a bra without an underwire has NO CLUE what it is like to be a large woman. You don't have a choice unless you want to sag down to your knees or get surgery to reduce your breasts. Bras without underwire simply do NOT provide support, and now large breasted women are made to feel like criminals in airports, courthouses and anyplace else with metal detectors. "

" What is wrong with this. After all, the US in now a police state, run by a religious fascist torturer war criminal. Typical is a land lost of its freedom! "

" I would like to know why an Idaho courthouse feels it must deal with underwire bras in a way more drastic than an airport screening system, including those in Washington DC. If an underwire bra triggers a metal detector, then a woman is wanded and perhaps given pat down search. She is NOT required to remove her underwear to enter! What's in the water in Coeur d'Alene? "

" she was not asked to take off her bra...maybe with some follow up reporting we will get the real story, ah hummm, listening? "

" WHY did she go to court wearing a metal underwire bra? Why was she surprised that the metal detector identified the metal? This seems to me to be a foolish incident that she is milking for publicity. "

" If the security people make exceptions for bras with metal in them, that would allow people to hide knives, etc., near their chests. Simple solution is to wear a bra w/o metal inserts. The safeguards are there to protect all of us. "

" A smaller cup size would have likely not resulted in this incident. Ms. Plato, who is obviously not so embarrased that she consented to an interview, should be thankful for her alarming endowment. "

" I am not surprised this happened. Coeur d'Alene has it's share of crazies, even in the court system. If people only knew how corrupt it really was. Most would not believe it unless something happened to them. "
