Man dropped dacks for airport security
But by the time Martin Holness boarded an American Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Chicago, his choice of gray-and-black boxer shorts to was known to all and sundry.
Holness, 34, says an overzealous security guard ordered him to remove his pants and then fed them through an X-ray machine at a checkpoint as the humiliated passenger and scores of bystanders looked on.
The guard gives a different account saying Holness pulled down his own sweat pants and handed them to the incredulous guard after two quarters in one pocket set off the metal detector.
Dr. Louis Keith, a professor at Northwestern University Medical School who saw the episode, sides with the incensed passenger.
''An agent from TSA put his hands in the man's pockets, then I saw [the agent] take off his pants,'' Keith said. The doctor says he heard Holness ask the guard, ''What are you doing?'' but got no reply.
