New Clothing Line Reminds TSA of the 4th Amendment
(Dec. 7) — Not thrilled with the Transportation Security Administration's new touchy-feely pat down techniques and full-body scanners? Now there's a line of underclothes that offer a friendly reminder of the Fourth Amendment during controversial searches.
It's called 4th Amendment Wear.
Metallic ink printed on shirts spells out the privacy rights stated in the amendment and is designed to appear in TSA scanners.
Creators Tim Geoghegan, 34, and Matthew Ryan, 28, both advertising professionals, designed the clothing as a conceptual art piece but ended up selling out of their limited stock shortly after launching their website last week.
They initially came up with the idea after removing their shoes while going through airport security on a business trip — before the current TSA privacy debate erupted.
"I realized the tops of socks were a good canvas," Geoghegan said. It was a perfect place to print the Fourth Amendment and make a statement.
BRILLIANT!!!!
