German Weirdos Get Naked To Protest Airport Security
By Brian FairbanksJanuary 13th, 2010, 4:51 pmComments (3)
On Sunday, a group of nudists (or at least protesters from Germany's Pirate Party who were willing to strip) invaded and took the Berlin airport by force. That force was mainly the amusing and not necessarily attractive sight of a dozen young people in their skivvies -- and magically, the fuzz didn't intervene. Watch as they stand around stone-faced, as if (ironically!) there isn't a major breach of airport security going on right in front of them!
Of course, these terrorists were not allowed through the checkpoints, right? That's too bad-- we'd love to have them over here, shaking things up a bit.
"[T]o protest the use of the so-called Nacktscanner (naked scanner), members of the Pirate Party in Germany organized a 'fleshmob' of people who stripped down to their skivvies last Sunday and converged on the Berlin-Tegel airport. They posted a video of their protest to YouTube, with soundtrack provided by Muse’s song 'Uprising.' The lyrics articulated their protest: 'They will not force us. They will stop degrading us. They will not control us. We will be victorious!'
"The protesters marked their bodies with a number of messages such as, 'Something to hide?' and 'Be a good citizen — drop your pants.'” [Wired]
Nutscanner!

I can't tell if that one woman was just wearing a very specific shade of beige, or she was maybe too shy and sporting a flesh colored body suit.
The police didn't stop them because they probably want more naked people going through airports. Airport security would be a breeze if everybody went naked.
not really WEIRDOS though. They're actually the sane ones compared to the governments.
Now you say something
