A naked woman ran through Dallas – Fort Worth airport’s terminal D. She yelled at no one in particular, and made rather strange claims like “I speak all languages.” She tosses a beverage. Then she attacked the monitor and boarding door of gate D4.
Here’s the full 2 minute 16 second video. I won’t embed it here because she is naked. And also because of the various profanities and F-bombs she drops. Some people just ignore her and go about her business, while others visibly check her out.
The amazing thing is that while this stands out, it isn’t that unusual! A naked man walked up to a TSA checkpoint in Detroit and managed to get screened. It’s activity that’s common enough there’s been a judicial determination that getting naked at TSA is not protected by the first amendment.
The undisputed winner, of course, is Florida where a nearly-naked woman stormed a TSA checkpoint and got tased on the buttocks. (In Miami naked passengers are enough of a thing that a startup airline Naked-air even tried Miami – Cancun service<.)
While the general expectation is that if you’re headed to the airport – no shoes, no shirt, no pants, no service – airports just seem to make people want to get naked? Just a couple of weeks ago a woman stripped naked at American Airlines check-in in Jamaica. Meanwhile after then-US Airways overbooked a flight to Jamaica, a man walked around the airport naked for an hour in protest.
A woman walked naked through the Atlanta airport stopping to pose for photos. And in the fall a naked man was found strolling past the TGI Friday’s at DFW airport.
