French woman could face prison for undressing at airport

A French woman accused of undressing during an airport security screening could face up to three years in prison if convicted under a law passed after September 11.

Eliane Yvonne Marcele Aguillaume, 56, from Paris, allegedly stripped to the waist at an Indiana airport in an angry response to a security guard's attempt to search her with a metal detecting wand.

She burst into tears when a judge explained the possible penalties through an interpreter.

This is so incredibly stupid. Let her go home.

They came to their senses and fined her $1 for each misdemeanor plus court costs, and forgot about the stupid felony.
