Man Exposes Self During Airport Screening

[hightime]

MINNEAPOLIS - Daryl Miller didn't make it through airport security because he couldn't keep his pants on.



Airport police said a security screener was waving a metal-detecting wand over Miller's pants area on Friday when Miller pulled his shorts down to his ankles. He wasn't wearing any underwear.


Miller then said, "There, how do you like your job," thus ending the screening, according to the police report. He was charged with indecent exposure and released on $300 bail.


"We've never had anybody do that before," said airport police Lt. Matt Christenson. "But it's not abnormal for people to become frustrated with the screening process

6. Flasher

Love the cartoon. Have wondered if pointing, giggling and laughing would get one maimed or murdered in such a situation.

8. Neither

A friend an I got flashed in a parking lot in college. We both burst out laughing and the guy closed his coat without a word and slunk away. :D

4. I can see it now

Huh sir would you remove those coins from your pockets, your glasses too, could you go back and put your computer in the tray, turn the computer on please, huh that cell phone turn it on too. Sir you're going to have to go over to the guy with the magic wand, wait take your stuff with you, don't forget your glasses. Sir you have to remove your belt ..... WTF, are you some kinda freak? Security ......security

5. Where's Matcom?

7. I couldn't do that...

I'd get arrested for carrying a Weapon of Mass Destruction.

"Sir, that's a big....Missle you have there." :evilgrin:

10. Cut or uncut?

It's a serious Homeland Security issue. Let us applaud this brave citizen.

11. "I got yer wand, right HERE!!"

12. "Sir, we could already tell....

...that you were WAAAAY too small to be hiding anything there!"

13. I think that's a great idea and more people should do it

I think if I ever fly again (small possibility) I shall rip off my clothes when they start waving their wand over my private parts - it seems only just - if they want to see what's under there (not that much) just have a look-see.

15. can you send me a picture

now in case I am not with you at the airport?

16. Was that a tin-foil jimmyhat?

:7

17. What a revealing story!

Should the airport screener get hazardous employment pay?

[Trillo]

18. I don't understand:

If they were searching his pants for anything concealed underneath, why would they arrest him for proving there was nothing but skin there?

It seems kind of like double jeopardy. Prove you're not carrying banned items, then security charges you with proving it?

19. I don't think I would drop trou

at the security points, but they sure are frustrating. Takes forever to get through security even when you arrive 2-3 hours early....I have to fly though Atlanta next week and I'm not looking forward to the screening. Hopefully since I'm arriving on an international flight I will have already been screened enough....before catching my connector flight....

20. Should stamp his butt "USDA Prime"

Last year I read about a woman activist who flew frequently and evidently was on somebody's list because she was invariably pulled aside and asked to disrobe behind a screen. I figured if that were to happen to me the temptation to use purple Magic Marker to write USDA Prime on my butt would have been overwhelming.

But these "inspectors" are not hired for their sense of humor, are they?

21. wonder if the indecent exposure charge now has the guy

on the sex offender registry?

22. I don't wear pants anymore...

I wear kilts now.

Specifically, utilikilts. They're quite comfy, not like hot-as-hell wool tartan kilts.

Notice the large collection of metal snaps on various models, specifically, the snaps across the crotch... If they want to keep waving *their* wand over *my* wand, that's their problem, and I can't wait to get some guy fired for asking me to remove the kilt in public.

Of course, I make a point of leaving for the airport *far* ahead of my departure time.
