Early Thursday morning, Angel Oswaldo approached New Orleans airport TSA checkpoint, took off his shirt, and was stopped. He put the shirt back on, but removed his socks and adopted a bouncing, squared-up “boxing” stance facing the officer. Then he took his shirt off again. He got down to his boxer shorts, yelled, pointed and pumped his fists.
TSA shut two security lanes because of the situation, delaying passengers around 6 a.m. Five law enforcement deputies arrived, restrained the man, and carried him away. Arrest & charge. He was booked for disturbing the peace.
Here’s the full original video:

My favorite online reactions include,
“Are we not supposed to do that?” → “Nah, you can leave shoes on now.”
“But you have to take everything else off. Or is that only during Mardi Gras?”
“I take off everything except the shoes. Am I doing it wrong?”
“He was just trying to help TSA’s short staffing issues by using his wand to scan people for threats.”
TSA closed two lanes to prevent crowding around officers and to keep prohibited items from slipping through while attention is diverted.
Oswaldo isn’t facing a public indecency charge – he was down to boxers, which doesn’t meet Louisiana’s statute.
I can’t wait for the memes on this one (roflmao emoji)
Bruh needs to spend more time in the gym before doing that nonsense
@ Gary — “Oswaldo isn’t facing a public indecency charge – he was down to boxers, which doesn’t meet Louisiana’s statute.” This statement is unclear to me. Do you mean being dressed in boxers is considered indecency, or not, in Louisiana? Seems that they should be legal, assuming they are covering your private parts.
Resist the temptation to remove your clothes in public unless you are certain the rendition will be of display quality.
All I see is ‘raw confidence,’ dawg. Like, Cafe-Du-Monde-beignets-at-3AM level. @Coffee Please, do you concur?
At the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), tequila makes his clothes fall off.
@Ken A — I coulda swore the magic elixir was actually Dos Hombres Mezcal by Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston (yes, those two ‘breaking bad’ hombres.) It’s a ‘unique blend of the finest Espadin agave, hand-selected from the hillsides of a small village in Oaxaca, Mexico.’ Me gusta. Mucho.
@1990 – Being New Orleans, I’d say a Sazerac or Vieux Carre too many.
Now we know who posts with four digits is. Let me make this clear, loser. I never read your posts.
@This comes to mind — “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
@1990 – You are the human equivalent of background noise. Loud enough to annoy everyone, yet irrelevant enough to ignore. Every sentence you post here drips with the need to be seen, yet every word you post confirms no one should bother looking. I’ve got news for you. Nobody here admires your ‘wit,’ they feel sorry for the person who spends free time polishing a persona because their real life is dull and small. Try posting something with substance for once, or stop wasting oxygen.
You decided you wanted an enemy on this forum, so you got one. Get ready bud, because I haven’t even started. You are my special project now. This is going to be fun!
@Mike Hunt — “Mediocre.”
@Mike Hunt — Also, I miss your poetry. Your silly calling others ‘communists’ on here. The good ole days.
@. Mike Hunt. Excellent analogy. I suspect someone as wise as you are will not waste his time with someone that is narcissistic and a hypocrite. Please do keep posting your comments…I find yours to be some of the more interesting.
@One Trippe — You’re welcome to post yours, too, half of which are just whining about me. Recall, I’m in-favor of more speech on here, not demanding others self-censor like you, and, apparently, Mike Hunt, by issuing his ‘vendetta’ on here.
You guys are fairly thinly-veiled right-wingers; like, you’re not overtly blaming ‘brown people’ for everything, like a few of the truly odious types that frequent the blog, but, you also must hate when I call out billionaires for being irresponsible with their extreme wealth. Why do you guys still even indirectly carry water for those leeches?
@ 1990…when you mature you just might find that “hating” is a horrible waste of precious life. I don’t apologize for being a Conservative.
@One Trippe — You (and a few others) seem to be doing most of the ‘hating’ on here…
Thanks for at least admitting you are one of the ‘conservatives,’ and that, apparently, this whole time, you’ve just been seeking to silence opposing viewpoints, like mine. How’s that been working out for ya?
You don’t really add much, other than to cheerlead for the slightly more moderate right-wingers on here. (Oh, look, Mike Hunt, an alias, used AI for two paragraphs on a Chicago School economist take on a topic! ‘Well said!’)
You can disagree with me, but I at least advocate for real positions. I’m not merely ‘hating.’ Check your own comments; you mostly just tell me to ‘shut up.’ Solves nothing, bud.
Would you like to hear my pro-worker and consumer rights spiels yet again?
All ye conservatives, where are you on the “If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy…” spectrum, theorized by columnist David Frum. Like, you want a kind that badly, still? Because, the people are not down for that. At all. Don’t poke the bear…
I once saw a video (I think it was on X) of someone going through the AIT machine shirtless: he was told to do this because his only shirt was a bullet proof vest, which has to be put on the belt (like other bulky outerwear) because the AIT machine can’t see through it. (Contrary to widespread urban legends, it’s not a prohibited item – and neither are handcuffs or parachutes. Note that laws vary among jurisdictions so the fact that something’s allowed through security at your origin doesn’t mean it’s legal at your destination – whether domestic or international. This is not legal advice. Ask a lawyer in your destination if unsure about your destination’s laws – there’s a lot of legal misinformation out there and no one wants to risk getting jailed away from home, deported, etc. – and this applies even for things like prescription drugs which are common in your home country but may be illegal in others.)
Looks like someone trying to get famous on Tik Tok.
