TSA and Feds Getting Sued by Man Who Stripped to Reveal the 4th Amendment

Remember the holiday revolt against the TSA which brought bikinis to public view at airports around the country? I always thought it was odd how the TSA decided to handle these TSA protesters. If you were female, like the LAX bikini girl, you got a free pass. If you are a man, well, one man didn't get a free pass, and the sad thing is he had the Constitution's Fourth Amendment written on his bare skin to remind the TSA of their tyranny against the Constitution.

From AOL:

A college student who was arrested for stripping down at airport security to reveal the Fourth Amendment written across his chest is now suing the U.S. government for violating his rights as ordained in — you guessed it — the Fourth Amendment.

Aaron Tobey’s dramatic strip-protest is one of the latest in a series of stunts by American travelers fed up with airport security procedures some consider too invasive. A YouTube video of a California man’s airport security pat-down, in which he warns the agent not to “touch my junk,” went viral last year. John Tyner’s infamous quote has been made into T-shirts and bumper stickers and even became the colloquial title of proposed legislation, the Transportation Security Administration “Don’t Touch My Junk” bill.

The Constitution’s Fourth Amendment outlaws “unreasonable searches and seizures.” Tobey, a 21-year-old University of Cincinnati architecture student, had those very words scrawled across his chest and abdomen when he stripped down to his underwear at a Richmond, Va., airport back in December. He was heading to his grandfather’s funeral at the time. Tobey was arrested and cited for disorderly conduct.


Gotta love it. I can't wait to see how the feds rule on this. Hopefully for the Fourth, but if they don't, it may have a real impact on multiple amendments.
