Protesting the TSA By Stripping Naked at the Security Line

John Brennan’s approach to protesting the TSA’s ridiculous “security theatre” was to strip naked at the security line at Portland’s airport. He was arrested, held on $4,000 bail and charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure.

Equally amusing was a quote from Brennan’s dad, who had this to say when contacted by local TV news:

This is quite a shock. He hasn’t been under any stress that I know of. He’s never really under any stress. He works for a computer company in California. He does something with the Internet, which is just kind of mystical to me. This is quite a surprise.

Now that’s a feeling I’m familiar with. My parents — doctors both — were never quite able to articulate what it is I do for a living when their friends ask.

I’m reminded of this photo, which I posted a little while back:
