Naked man tries passing through TSA checkpoint at Detroit Metro Airport

ROMULUS, Mich. (WXYZ) — A naked man attempted to walk through a TSA security check at Detroit Metropolitan Airport's McNamara Terminal Friday morning.

According to an airport spokesperson, the incident happened at 6:30 a.m.

The man walked up to a checkpoint at the McNamara Terminal and removed his clothing. He then disconnected a stanchion, or barrier, at the checkpoint, and approached a metal detector.

The TSA officers didn't allow the man through the detector.

Since he clearly didn't have any weapons, I don't understand the problem...
