Port of Portland police say a 49-year-old man stripped naked at Portland International Airport as a protest against airport security screeners.

The incident report said John E. Brennan's actions Tuesday evening caused some passengers to cover their eyes and their children's eyes while others looked, laughed and took photos. Two screening lanes were temporarily closed.

An obvious case of naked activism?

He missed his flight to San Jose, Calif.

Thats too bad /s

[ArrogantBustard]

I’m sure the ladies would like to have pictures posted, so as to determine guilt or innocence.

[presently no screen name]

More guts than those empty suits in DC.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Good for him. Totalitarianism cannot abide ridicule.

stripping in front of children should get him labeled a sex offender and sued by those families

One of a thousand reasons I'd never strip naked in public.

There was a time that if a man was there with his family,,, he would have punched the jerk right in the face for exposing himself to his kids.

I can’t believe that doesn’t seem to happen these days,,

If a female strips, that’s ok. If a man strips, he’s a sex offender?
Children get fondled at airports. They should get used to seeing naked people at airports. This is the new USA

I’d rather strip than be touched by TSA.

Some of us don’t like to be touched by strangers.

I don’t fly. I’m in no hurry. have car, will travel.

Yes,,, precisely.

"If a female strips, that’s ok. If a man strips, he’s a sex offender?"

I'm on board with that.

LOL...on second thought, I should probably qualify that!

I’m sure the ladies would like to have pictures posted, so as to determine guilt or innocence.

I know already, if he is the typical slacker Portlander, that he is a pencil-necked geek, with a nose ring, multiple earrings, short PVC pipe sections expanding each ear lobe, shaggy hair, scruffy beard, bloodshot eyes, with a slouched posture.

In short, guilty, on many counts.

[GeronL]

It’s never okay.
