Airport Incident
In August 2008 Kates made headlines when the under wire of her bra set off metal detectors in Oakland International Airport. She eventually removed her bra in an airport bathroom to get through the security check. The incident took a total of 40 minutes and caused Kates to miss her flight. Although she was accommodated with another flight, she arrived at her destination four hours late. As a result, Kates has stated that she plans to consult with an attorney as well as the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Organization for Women.

Famous quotes containing the words airport and/or incident:
“It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
