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.
