Man Strips At Portland Airport In Protest Against TSA

An Oregon man stripped off his clothes, all to protest TSA screening procedures.

49-year-old John Brennan says he was told that he tested positive for nitrates byTSA screeners at Portland International Airport late Tuesday night.

Brennan says he disrobed as a form of protest againstTSA screeners, who he felt were harassing him.

“I’ve sent in complaint forms and heard nothing,” Brennan explains.

“This was my next action.I know nude, but not lewd in Oregon is a protected speech soI chose that option.”

Brennan was arrested after refusing to put his clothes back on.

He was booked and released into the Multnomah County Jail.
