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.
Ok.. you need a “FAT DISGUSTING NAKED PERSON* alert when they’re that bad.
Ah, yet another one of these. Gary, it seems like you post one each week. Hmm. Interesting… these keep happening in Texas and Florida… who was it that was blaming it on ‘woke’ people? You know, notoriously ‘blue’ states… (or, maybe, crazies are everywhere, and we should try to get them ‘help.’)
Most of the traveling public is pure trash.
People who are possibly mentally ill fly on all airlines. Not just Spirit.
That’s the SPIRIT.
Catch the Spirit!
This has become the real threat to air safety. Drunk/drugged out, mentally insane, toddler level maturity people. So far our overly expensive TSA screening doesn’t seem to be profiling and catching these people before they get landslide and even worse 30,000 feet in the air.
So far none of this has been taken seriously. They might initially go to jail, are immediately let out on no or little bond and get probation. I guess it will take a couple of planes crashing before our legal system, mainly liberal judges, see these people for the threats they really are.
Resist the temptation to disrobe in public unless you are certain the rendition will be of display quality.
