The Resume

    (circa 1961- )
    Resident of Portland, Oregon
    During a security check at the Portland airport, declined to go through a TSA body scanner (April 17, 2012)
    Screeners administered a patdown and explosives test
    Screeners told him he had tested positive for nitrates
    Responded by stripping naked
    Arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure

Why he might be annoying:

    To protest the TSA using those body scanners that show what you look like under your clothes, he showed them what he looks like under his clothes. Makes perfect sense.
    His protest resulted in two security lines being closed, potentially disrupting travel.
    He does not have the best body for naked protesting.

Why he might not be annoying:

    The TSA wants him to walk through a scanner that will let them see under his clothes, then has him arrested when he lets them see under his clothes. Makes perfect sense.
    He said that after the positive nitrate test, 'I was not interested in being hassled so I took off my clothes to show them I was not carrying any explosives.'
    He said about the TSA, 'They are just doing their job and as a citizen of the US, I'm doing my job to protect my constitutional rights to privacy.'
    He hopes other American will join in his protest. (Maybe we can get Brad and Angelina to take up the cause.)
