What parts might need patting down when someone is without any clothing?

I would seriously consider taking part in this.

I think we need at least four participants to make this spoof work," Mills wrote in a San Francisco nudist Yahoo group forum. "Any fewer than that will look to spectators more like a handful of oddballs than a humorous parody of the security procedure."

Exactly what the reaction will be. Way to reduce the resistance to a fringe nuisance

I know some disagree and that's cool but on something like this I tend to think keeping in the public venue will do more to further our cause even if it is looked at as somewhat odd.

I feel that if this issue becomes accepted and yesterday's news we could have a longer uphill battle.

Wouldn't that be more of a medical procedure than a patdown -- and outside the scope of a TSA screener?

I must agree that this protest isn't the way to make the point about inappropriate and intrusive behavior by the TSA.
