Well, they DID want to do a thorough search

EVV Airport Stripper Won't Face Jail Time

Perhaps this is how security checks are done in France, and she just wanted to make sure that the screeners didn't miss anything....

Indiana State Police say 56 year old Eliane Aguillaume of Paris took off her shirt and bra after becoming aggravated with a federal screener.

The female screener was scanning Aguillaume's bra area with a hand-held metal detector. Aguillame put her hands inside her sweater, which forced the screener to scan the area again. Police say that's when Aguillaume become agitated and took off her sweater, shirt and bra.

State police say Aguillaume resisted arrest and after she was handcuffed dropped to the ground and refused to get up.

You know, while Ms. Aguillaume's reaction may not have been the wisest choice of protests, I do applaud her creativity. Lord knows I've wanted to drop my shorts a few times when the security screeners have become too personal. This story may have it's comical side, but it does illustrate an ugly reality. Security screeners have the right to inflict virtually any indignity upon an individual, all in the name of "security". No wonder airlines are losing passengers....
