After a New Year’s Day terror attack in New Orleans, some online critics focused on FBI Assistant Special Agent Alethea Duncan's nose piercing during a press conference. They expressed outrage over her jewelry, claiming it violated FBI guidelines. Duncan provided updates on the attack, which killed 14 people, and stated it was not initially classified as a terrorist event.
