Gotta Watch: Naked in public
A man in Portland, Oregon stripped naked in an airport last night to protest the screening process. Whether you think he's a hero or just plain crazy, he definitely tops our list of awkward TSA patdowns. He’s certainly not the first person to have an awkward encounter in a state of undress. You’ve Gotta Watch these uncomfortable moments in public nudity history.
I say the entire country completely disrobe before they reach the scanning stations. It would save us a lot of time and TSA payroll budgets. Keep Portland Weird!
Its Keep Austin Weird! Not Portland!
Good morning USA.
TSA does everything intrusive just short of demanding that people get naked anyway so what was the fuss?
I'd like to see supermodels engage in this protest.
Yeah, baybeeeeee.......
Yeah, good luck with that. The ones most willing to do this are usually not the ones you want to see naked.
Now... we need some hot women protesting the TSA. ; )
I do not blame this guy. Its is extremely irritating to be pulled to the side to be patted down and wanded. Sometimes I am like are you serious...do I look like a criminal. That's the problem I don't and they are taught them the least likely is most likely. Whatever TSA! tired of the bs. I know we are keeping people safe but they are also strip people of dignity at the same time.
Right now I am so grateful my phone doesn't do video well.....
I haven't been on a plane in a real long time. Last time I was on one, I didn't have one tenth the hassle flyers today have.
I guess if thier that serious about causing people embarrasment, the next time I fly, this 58 year old will show up as a sado masochist, with a red leather mask and panties, and wear a spike choker and have a whip. We'll see who's embarrased.
Great that this fellow "made a statement" about TSA but couldn't he have gone to the gym and buffed up first? Just sayin..... 🙂
Well we all want air travel of yesteryear. When all the stewardess's were 21, female, unmarried and pretty. When food and beverages were free and there was enough leg room for a 6 footer. WELL those days are gone...There are bad people who want to embarrass and kill Americans. And instead of behaving like an idiot, you want better boarding privileges, join the TSA's registered flyer program. In a way a TSA agent is like a plane's pilot. They get a chance to make one mistake ...just pray you're not on that plane.
People only SAY they want all those things from years ago. In reality all they really want is a low price. Blame the consumer. By the way there are first class seats you can buy if you decide the perks are worth the price.
The TSA makes so many mistakes every day, it has been proven that they do not catch guns/knives/bombs, they get tested regularly and fail regularly at doing their jobs, and recently it was announced that their fancy new stand-up human scanners are also unable to detect any weapon strapped to a person's side. It really is "security theater", and I don't blame this man one bit for taking his clothes off in protest.
Preetty sure its gonna be you.
Smear yourself with durian fruit, though they'll make up a law on the spot against being super stinky and still arrest you.
Omg, that is the smelliest stuff *ever*!
LMAO!
You have no idea how much this cracks me up, considering I did an iReport back in January, 2010 called "Welcome Aboard!" that is pseudo-related to this story....although mine, of course, was meant to be satirical! LOL!
Id rather be naked anyway so wahts the fuss,,
Absolutely a HERO!!! We need people doing this at every airport every hour. TSA and Homeland Security have nothing to do with safety, all to do with keeping sheeple scared, confused and inline with the, supposed, government (can you say "de facto", helloooo!!).
hero? Why? dosent everybody have rights? the airline has rights as do the rest of the passengers. You have the right NOT to fly if them protecting the traveling public annoys you.
