Man With 4th Amendment Written on Chest Sues Over Airport Arrest

A 21-year-old Virginia man who wrote an abbreviated version of the Fourth Amendment on his body and stripped to his shorts at an airport security screening area is demanding $250,000 in damages for being detained on a disorderly conduct charge.My opinion is that more people should do

My favorite part is that they grilled him about his possible connections to anti-American terrorist organizations for wearing part of the Constitution on his body.

Hating the TSA is something that citizens of ALL political affiliations can get behind. Between this, the illegal saving of thousands of nude X-ray images of passengers (including children) and "pat-downs" that legally qualify as sexual assaults in several cases, the entire agency needs to be dismantled.

I agree that protests like this should happen more. The practices of the TSA are disgusting.

However, you should at least do a spell check before hand. He wrote the 4 backwards, fer Christ sake.

That was a collective you, as in the people who might protest.

"before hand"

Sometimes, spellcheck isn't enough.

Oh man, you sure got me. Don't you feel oh so smart and smarmy now?

The guy took the time to write the Fourth Amendment on his chest - I would bet dollars to doughnuts that he was probably also acting like a dick, and that's why he was actually detained. Unfortunately, it seems we're not likely to find out.

I agree with his message but you can't just throw a protest anywhere you want and not expect consequences. Especially in an airport.

not expect consequences

Actually I think that this was all part of the plan.

Nice thought, but I bet their effectiveness wears off the second time someone sees them.
