It couldn't get caught, it couldn't punture, it couldn't scrape, etc. I think that it might be a very clever way to acomplish the preservation of a new piercing without violating the jewelry rule.
I agree, I would have them throw a piece of tape over the thread just to make sure nobody could hook a hang nail on it and let him/her play..I don't think this meets the definition of "jewelry"....I sure wish my wife thought so though!
