It was just a week ago when a naked woman tossed a drink and smashed the gate D4 boarding door at Dallas – Fort Worth airport, while screaming “I speak all languages.”
Now a topless female passenger in white underpants at the Fort Lauderdale airport pranced around gate G12. She had removed her clothing – though not her black shoes – and she appears to be in an argument with a male travel companion who tries to give her back her outfit. A police officer gives her back her top, and she puts it on. G12 is a Spirit Airlines gate, naturally.
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 shirt, no shoes, no dice” – airports just seem to make people want to get naked? Remember the woman who 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.
