A pax went to jail yesterday for dropping his drawers in DEN at the checkpoint.

Would be interested in the details.... I suspect the pax did something eggregious over & above simply complying with what he thought was a screener's orders. The way to pull this off is to act like a compliant sheople and have the dropping of the pants appear to be either accidental or a mis-understanding of the direct order.

Civil disobedience
 
Well, I think this quote by Pastor Niemoller (speaking about the Holocaust) rings true about the GeSSSSStapo today:

'First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me.'
