Man Exposes Self During Airport Screening Wed Jul 14, 9:07 AM ET
By The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS - Daryl Miller didn't make it through airport security because he couldn't keep his pants on.
Airport police said a security screener was waving a metal-detecting wand over Miller's pants area on Friday when Miller pulled his shorts down to his ankles. He wasn't wearing any underwear.
Miller then said, "There, how do you like your job," thus ending the screening, according to the police report. He was charged with indecent exposure and released on $300 bail.
"We've never had anybody do that before," said airport police Lt. Matt Christenson. "But it's not abnormal for people to become frustrated with the screening process."
Miller also became belligerent during the screening, Transportation Security Administration officers told police. One TSA employee also told police that Miller had a note inside a magazine in his bag with an expletive, and told a TSA employee "Oh yeah, it's for you" when asked who the note was directed at.
"This person exposed themself in a public area, a clear violation of the law, and we needed to take some action on that, otherwise everybody would be dropping their pants," Christenson said.
Water's cold....deep too!
Well maybe not stupid, but definately foolish.
BF Later.
The guy is a moron. But what business is it of the screener who a note is written to? In this case I assume the moron was mouthing off for a stupid intrusive question. Was the note a threat? It didn't say it was a threat.
"This person exposed themself in a public area, a clear violation of the law, and we needed to take some action on that, otherwise everybody would be dropping their pants," Christenson said."
Uh, probably not.
Interesting to see the government opinion of the citizenry.....
"The only morality in this country is government-enforced morality."

I heard Pvt Lyndie England reached a plea bargain...and is now an airport screener at Dulles
LOL!! That really is funny.
Isn't this just a more efficient strip search of the type performed every day?
That really is clever and funny. But, all joking aside: Is this consider a "sex offender" offense? Will he have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life because of this stupid stunt?
Don't know - that would be a matter of state law. But I'd call exposing oneself more than a stunt. It's seriously sick behavior.
Thanks ... I had done a search, but I suppose my search was too confined. Sorry for the duplication.
Different headline, different source - hard to find if you hadn't already seen it. That's why I did an "additional comments" rather than an "already posted".
