Man who stripped at Portland airport fights $1G TSA fine An Oregon man who stripped naked during a security check at Portland International Airport says he expects the Transportation Administration Security Administration to uphold its $1,000 fine at a hearing Tuesday, John Brennan, of Portland says he plans to appeal in federal court to force a review of the constitutionality of TSA searches and inspections. Brennan, 50, made headlines last year when photos showing him standing near a metal detector without any clothes on went viral. He was fined for disrupting the screening process. Brennan said he was cooperative but stripped to show he wasn't hiding anything after a screener reported finding traces of nitrites, which could indicate an explosive. "I totally support airport screening," Brennan told OregonLive.com. I just don't want ti to e at the expense of my constitutional rights. He was acquitted of charges in county court. "I've had this could hanging over my head ... for months and months," Brennan told OregonLive.com. Brennan says he hopes his case leads to more effective, non-invasive procedures.
