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.

Although I wouldn’t have protested like he did, I want to go on record that I HATE the TSA. I absolutely HATE what they are doing to citizens. We know who needs to be searched. We have allowed ourselves by our passivity to be bullied into submission by thugs in uniforms. I am sick of this! STOP THE INVASION OF OUR PRIVACY. SEARCH MUSLIMS.
Would that same man who would have punched this protestor also caused bodily harm to the TSA agents that would feel up his kids if they decided they wanted to?
I fully understand the sentiment.
It could be the reason no one did so was because they agree with the man's point. People are tired of being treated like cattle. This is how Hitler rose to power, by continually taking away rights and privileges until his word was total law.
Nope,, a government agent, at work, looking for bombs as ordered,,, bombs which haji will happily strap to their own infant, is mucho different than some goober stripping naked in front of my kid.
The place to protest TSA is with your congressfool,, and with the policymakers. The security agent at the gate doesn’t make policy and i don’t buy that its sexual assault. But some ignoramus flopping his weiner out in front of your child,, thats a punch in the snoot.
The TSA,, i would tell my child that this is because of islam,,, and some bad people in our government trying to convince us that terrorists are everywhere so they can take our freedom. And that we are working to get rid of those people every election.
“It could be the reason no one did so was because they agree with the man’s point”
Nope,,,it was because it was Portland. And there wasn’t a man present. I don’t care what your political point is,,, waving your johnson in my daughters face is not legitimate,,,,and demands an immediate violent response.
Your Daughter is a TSA worker? If so why was she asking to search this guy?
Yada, yada, yada. Everyone knows that, underneath their clothing, people are naked. Kids know that, too. He wasn't trying to molest kids somewhere back in the line.
Ease up.
There was a time when a man would have told the TSA to F**k off! you aren't groping me, my wife, or (especially!) my kids!
But the sheeple dutifully line up in the chute, assured this will make them safe.
Have a nice flight. I drive now.
desensitization is the first step
dude...
Did you know gays were allowed to walk around naked in public in San Fransicko?? Got to get them young, you know.
what a disgusting culture we have now.
He also said this:
How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think.
but the mouth-breathing TSA personel, for whom molesting small children should get a pass?
Wow.
What a wonderful totalitarian state we have.
I am totally opposed to the TSA, by the way
That is true and I don't mean to promote public nudity. But, on the other hand, where once streaking a football game, say, was considered good fun; nowadays, the offender is arrested for public indecency.
Motivation is important, too.
