  • The man is charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure
  • He tells police he disrobed as "a form of protest"
  • Police: Some passengers shield their eyes; others take photos

(CNN) -- A 50-year-old man who said he felt that airport screeners were "harassing" him stripped naked at Portland International Airport, police in Oregon said.

Police charged John E. Brennan with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure after he disrobed while going through the security screening area at the airport Tuesday evening.

"When interviewed about his actions, Mr. Brennan stated he fly's (sic) a lot and had disrobed as a form of protest against TSA screeners who he felt were harassing him," a police incident report said.

John Brennan faces disorderly conduct and indecent exposure charges for an incident at Portland International Airport.

He was not intoxicated or under the influence of drugs at the time, police said.

Brennan was scheduled to fly on Alaska Airlines from Portland to San Jose, California.

Police said screeners asked him "numerous times" to put on his clothes, but he refused.

"Mr. Brennan's actions caused two screening lanes to be closed and while some passengers covered their eyes and their children's eyes and moved away from the screening area, others stepped out of the screening lanes to look, laugh and take photos of Mr. Brennan," the police report said.

If the women were laffing, they should have been arrested for humiliating the man.

LOL...

I recall the first effort to bring women into the NYPD. After the tour was over, and we were all changing back into our civvies, a few of the more well endowed guys would strut their stuff much to the delight of the gals. It was then that I realized that the Order was breaking down and that things would never be the same. But it was fun :)

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
