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:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
““It is of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognise out of a number of facts which are incidental and which are vital.... I would call your attention to the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
“The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
“That was the curious incident.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
