Man strips at Va. airport checkpoint in protest:Had Fourth Amendment scrawled on chest
Airport police identified him as Aaron B. Tobey, 21. He told police he was a student at the University of Cincinnati. The incident occurred at 2:17 p.m. at Checkpoint B, the busier of the airport’s two checkpoints, said airport spokesman Troy M. Bell.
Bell said police reported that when they arrived at the checkpoint, they found Tobey, “absent of pants and shirt in full public view, exposing language regarding the Fourth Amendment written on his chest and abdomen with marker or crayon.”
The message read, "Amendment 4: The right of the people to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated," said Bell.
The amendment protects Americans against unreasonable search and seizure.
Many air travelers are upset by tough new, anti-terrorism screening procedures in which they must choose between full-body scans by detectors or pat-down searches.
Tobey was interviewed by airport police and federal authorities, issued a citation for disorderly conduct and released. He is scheduled for arraignment in Henrico County General District Court on Jan. 10.
Fols ..its time for passive resistance.
Just boycott the damn flying circus ..wont take too long before they get the message ..falling profits is usually all it takes ..

put off that holiday for now ..
50 yrs ago very few anywhere ..what has become so damn important that so many people feel they have to fly anywhere.
But at the same time , its “their” airport and they can do as they damn well please ..if you dont like it , dont conform and play the game!!
