WCCO TV Article (http://wcco.com/localnews/local_story_195194952.html)
"Travelers are used to removing their shoes at the airport, but one passenger took it a step further and dropped his shorts, airport police said.
Police said a security screener was waving a metal-detecting wand over Daryl 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. Airport police charged him with indecent exposure, and he was released after paying $300 bail."

man, I wish stuff like that happened to me!
The TSA is always right, you know. Just ask them:"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."

Another article on the same incident. (http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/breaking_news/9151854.htm?1c)
"But it's not abnormal for people to become frustrated with the screening process."
You can say that again, MSP airport police Lt. Matt Christenson! And there's no damn reason for it. No other industrialized nation has the same rude and unprofessional slobs doing their airport security. If that is what the TSA calls it, cause it ain't; it is just theater, unlike the real security in the rest of the world.
Oh and here are some fun comments and other TSA experiences as posted on FARK.com (http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=1037097)
:rolleyes: :eek:

Hmmmm.... guess I'm going to have to change my plans. A bunch of my work colleagues and I were going to drop pants on our way to a conference at the end of this week!!
