Man strips at Va. airport checkpoint in protest
Man strips to his underwear at Va. airport checkpoint; message on chest protests searches
Police say a man stripped to his underwear at a Virginia airport checkpoint in a protest against security procedures.
Airport police said the man took off his shirt and pants at Richmond International Airport on Thursday. He had scrawled across his chest a reference to the Constitution’s 4th Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure.
Police identified the man as 21-year-old Aaron B. Tobey of Charlottesville, Va. He told police he was a student at the University of Cincinnati.
Tobey was interviewed by airport police and federal authorities, issued a citation for disorderly conduct and released. He is scheduled for arraignment on Jan. 10.
