Nude Man Shows Up At Airport Security Checkpoint

[Sapphocrat]

I hope this was a protest against security measures run amock:

KENNER, La. -- There was little need to search 34-year-old Kent Hoffmann when he approached a security checkpoint Tuesday at Louis Armstrong International Airport.

U.S. Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Andrea McCauley said a nude Hoffmann ran back into the terminal and was cornered near a beignet shop, where screeners covered him with a sign until Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies arrived to arrest him.

They booked him with obscenity.

3. just a matter of time

Before we all have to be naked to get on a plane. They already make us take off our shoes....this is funny.

[Ilsa]

4. Remeber the publicity about that screening tool?

You could see the outline and curvature of, well, "tools" and other "special equipment." That was close enough for me.

I am surprised someone would try this in the dead of winter, though, even in LA.

6. Good for him!

I hope this was a protest.

7. a similar thing happened in Florida

some months back...at the wpb airport I think. A man took off his pants. They arrested him, but he swears they asked him to take them off. Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

[question everything]

8. What's the story circulateing about a woman

planning to hide a bomb inside her "reproductive organ?"

[leesa]

9. Ah yes, the "womb bomb"....I'd like to meet the woman that's willing

to insert a bomb past her cervix! I think that might be one that you ought to question.

10. "They booked him with obscenity."

You mean he was fat and ugly?

I'm bad, I know.

I apologize to all fat and ugly people.
