  Oregon judge rules it’s OK to strip naked in protest of TSA     By Eric Pfeiffer, Yahoo! News
Reporter      John Brennan testified in court on July 18, 2012. (Rick Bowmer/AP)     An Oregon judge ruled on Wednesday that stripping naked at the airport to protest the Transportation Security Administration is a protected form of free speech. In other words, if you're protesting the TSA it's OK to show a little T&A.
The Oregonian reports that 50-year-old John E. Brennan was acquitted of an indecent exposure charge stemming from an April 17 incident during which he took off his clothes while standing at a security checkpoint line at Portland International Airport.
"It is the speech itself that the state is seeking to punish, and that it cannot do," Circuit Judge David Rees said.
Prosecutors in the case argued that Brennan did not say to airport officials that it was a protest until after he had stripped and was told police were on their way to the scene.
Brennan says he stripped after airport screeners asked him to submit to a pat-down inspection.
"I also was aware of the irony of taking off my clothes to protect my privacy," he told the court.
However, Brennan's case doesn't affect nudity laws in other jurisdictions. But it's certainly possible that anyone conducting a similar nude airport protest in the future could cite his case as precedent.
For his part, Brennan said his nude protest was done to show the TSA "that I know my rights," and to illustrate his belief that airport screening devices are already exposing passengers—whether they know it or not.
"They're getting as close to seeing us naked as they can. And we are upping the ante," he told the court. "I wanted to show them it's a two-way street. I don't like a naked picture of me being available."

Well then, go for it, Powderman.
But I think you have to buy a plane ticket to do it.
You can't just get in line.

I just went on a round trip to the far east in May.  The TSA are traitors and criminals, but the customs agents were even worse.
 
I would to God that the founding fathers were here dealing with the both of them, and their "superiors".

POWPOW. HEH, not me. With all the crappola aimed at Americans I wouldn't fly even if I could afford it. POWDERMAN.

I can't imagine that those bozo's would want to ever see me naked. On the other hand I don't think they have anything to worry about. I haven't traveled via airplane since 1958.

being retired from Delta airlines, I can fly free, but I don't.
the only men that I would allow to touch me are certified police officers.
so to keep me from hitting a TSA pervert with my cane, my wife keeps me away from the airport.

we go on one or two cruises every year, but those guys are respectful so-far of old people.
I require hand searches and security at cruise terminals just act more human.

Slightly off kilter, but same subject.  I was listening to rush Limbaugh's filling yesterday.  He was talking about on of the big Porn Stars going through the TSA line.  The TSA agent thought he was hiding something in his pants, because of the large bulge running down one leg of the pants.  He kept telling them who he was, but they did not have a clue.  Or maybe they just wanted to keep feeling that large bulge, saying they suspected it was an explosive device.
