I wonder what would happen if ...

if I was going to fly these days ... and, approaching the Homeland Security checkpoint, I took off all my clothes and put them on the conveyor belt to go through the x-ray machine ...

would I be arrested under a charge of terrorism?

(trust me ... it does get chilly sometimes ... honest ...)

1. People would laugh...

That's my guess. You can guess the reason...

3. I don't have to be naked for people to laugh at me ...

:)

4. Well, I can personally identify with that...

:evilgrin:

[sui generis]

2. well THAT would be obscenity

unless everyone else was in a closed room observing you without any ability to record or transmit.

:sarcasm:

Let's face it, the TSA doesn't know what they're doing, and that's a fact. They're reactive, knee jerk, and incompetent, and only every learn their lessons with 20/20 hindsight. They clearly lied about the ability to record and transmit on the scanners, and who knows what else they lie about.

They're bullies - oddly, if you lie to the TSA or otherwise attempt to coerce, intimidate or threaten them it's a federal offense, just not the other way around.

5. Good point.

If they lie about the record and transmit option who knows how unhealthy the actual scan is.

6. I suspect that you would be arrested.

But I don't think that the charge, nor the mental screening, would be for terrorism.

But why trust my feelings? By all means be empirical and experiment. ;-)
