Keep Your Pants On...
 
A 66-year-old German tourist, annoyed by stringent security at Manila's airport, dropped his pants before walking through an X-ray machine, newspapers said Monday.

Authorities were not amused.

Instead of boarding a flight to Frankfurt on Friday, Hans Jurgen Oskar von Naguschewski was detained after police filed a complaint of lasciviousness against him, the Philippine Daily Inquirer and the Philippine Star newspapers reported.

..."Oskar spent the weekend in police detention and was to face the prosecutor later Monday. If convicted, he could face six months to six years in jail.

Someone finally did it!!!! I would have paid to have seen that.

Even worse, according to the article, he walked through the x-ray machine! He must be rather short. :)

One's pants dropping seems a logical consequence of asking people to take their belts (or worse, suspenders) off. Must happen quite regularly I guess. A small oversight or wrong movement would be enough. Worst would be if you have recently slimmed down a lot .

I'm surprised the newpapers can spell "lasciviousness" when they're too stupid to know what an X-ray machine is. :)

Actually, I've heard of other cases where men got fed up with
the "security" bullcrap and either dropped or took off their pants.

One time, several months after Sept. 11th, an Alaska Air Lines
co-pilot got pissed off with the hassle at the checkpoint and
he pulled his pants all the way down to his ankles at the WTMD!

Then there was the French woman....I think it was at Indianapolis....
who got exasperated and took off her blouse at the checkpoint....
she wasn't wearing a bra!

I'm sure there are lots of other similar situations which haven't
been documented.

Yep! The most famous one here in Barcelona is the president of FC Barcelona (the football club – Barça) who did exactly the same thing a few years ago after losing his nerves at a security checkpoint at BCN.

You’ll find a lot of information on Google if you look in Spanish. In English I’ve only found these 2:

To understand the importance: here the “presidente” of Barça has about the same status as the president of the local government… :p
