AbrasiveCat writes "In an update to an earlier Slashdot story, the Portland Oregon man who was arrested after stripping naked at a TSA checkpoint at Portland Airport was acquitted of indecent exposure charges. He successfully argued that he was protesting TSA actions, and his actions were protected speech under the Oregon Constitution."

I wish I lived in Oregon. Any Oregon folk want to organize a naked day at the TSA?

He should have protested the lack of available jury trial by stripping naked in court. Then they'd have to hand him new charges for the same thing and deny him a jury trial for that. Just think, it would cause an endless loop that would cause the court system to blue screen lol.

From what I have heard http://www.kgw.com/news/Naked-fliers-attorneys-ask-for-acquittal-162908166.html, Mr Brennan maybe fined up to $11,000 and be put on the no-fly list for interfered with the screening process. I don't know if this is a legal issue for the courts or if he can just be administratively found guilty, but I hope TSA knows when to walk away. It seems to me that he was helping the screening process by ensuring no contraband was on his person. I suspect that if I were on a jury I would find him innocent.

Portland Oregon actually has a higher per capita number of strip clubs than churches. Yes, I'm very proud of this fact. :)
