    The incident report said John E. Brennan’s actions Tuesday evening caused some passengers to cover their eyes and their children’s eyes while others looked, laughed and took photos. Two screening lanes were temporarily closed.

    Police say the Portland man was arrested for investigation of indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.

    The Oregonian reports the Port of Portland summary said Brennan “disrobed completely naked” while going through a security screening area.

    He later told authorities he flies often and “disrobed as a form of protest against TSA (Transportation Security Administration) screeners he felt were harassing him.”

    He missed his flight to San Jose, Calif.

    people make such a big deal over the TSA. I just flew with my family, and felt that they being cautious, making my baby take off her shoes, my 2 yr old take off his sweatshirt. But, for the sake of safety, i feel its worth the added inconvienience…..

    seriously, why do you need to post a picture of this guy, we can all imagine what he looks like without the picture. Don’t forget that there are children that view this site as often as us addicts.

    He was probably a Baal Teshuva who was told about a Mikvah in the airport.

    Yes. His picture should have been blurred like the sheitel head maniquens in the Chareidi magazines.
