Athens - When a 40-year old British woman set off a metal detector alarm at Athens airport, bemused security staff found that it was caused by a chastity belt she was wearing.
"It happened a few days before Christmas. The metal detector went off and after a further check we found out she was wearing a chastity belt," airport police official Dimitris Tzouvaras told AFP, confirming a report in the daily newspaper To Vima.
"The woman was allowed to fly on to London on the pilot's responsibility," Tzouvaras added Friday.
According to the press report, the woman told police officers her husband had forced her to put on the belt to make sure she had no extra-marital affair during a brief visit to Greece
dys- Egads! I thought that those things went out with high button shoes and buggy whips. If the woman were smart, she would go directly to the cops and file an abuse report!
Plastics, Phoenix, I tell you the future is in plastics!

A Swiss tabloid had posted a pic of this 'thing' on February 6 (and due to the millions here younger than the two of us, I just post the URL)

Would plastic really look nicer?
One things for sure, she won't be flying 'united'.
Whoever invented it was a schmuck.
Actually
a) I just wanted to show dys the pic
b) you are underage to view such pics, Phoenix
They say (it's a tabloid!) that a chastity belt was iron jewelry in the middle ages.
Um, excuse me, but...(blushing)...How would she go to the bathroom?
perhaps she just showers?
Eva--
One of the nastiest aspects of the chastity belt is keeping it--and a lady's private parts--clean and sweet smelling.
I hope that the possessive husband was a bit abashed to find his marital strictures a subject for speculation in the world press. I hope that the fettered wife has found out that her husband's jealousy is off the wall.
So there finally going to put security doors on cockpits on planes, huh?
(sitting in awe of brand x's cunning punning...)
Ahhh, is it possible that ... this was fun for her?
Or... a prank?
