I've recently checked the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority's Web site for the regulation on this very subject. I'm thinking of getting a prince's wand.

If you have a body piercing in areas covered by clothing, you may be subject to a physical search. If further screening is necessary, you have the option to remove your body piercing in a private search room as an alternative to the physical search.

The Web page is dated August 9, 2007. So I don't understand why the TSA didn't already have an equivalent policy in place. Body piercings have been around for a long time.
