Impossible to resist posting: Gun crusader strips down in front of TSA @ San Diego Airport! An Update of sorts.....
Hello everyone,
This post has absolutely nothing to do with real estate, or México or anything of what I post about....but it is just irresistible because it is so funny. I'm just sorry I couldn't find any photos to post.

San Diego open-carry gun crusader Sam Wolanyk has taken off time from packing heat to packing, well, not much at all apparently.
Wolanyk entered San Diego International Airport on Friday for a trip to Barbados with a companion and declined to go through the full-body scanner. As anyone who has been following the story of Oceanside's John Tyner knows, that can trigger the controversial full-body pat-down by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers.
Rather than a pat-down, Wolanyk decided to strip down -- to his shorts, actually Calvin Klein bicycle-like shorts, according to his lawyer, Jason Davis of Orange County.
"It was obvious that my underwear left nothing to the imagination," Wolanyk has told one media source, examiner.com.
In a prepared statement Wolanyk said he'd undergone the new pat-down a week ago and didn't want to go through the process again.
"I was not willing to be molested again," he said. "I figured that this way everyone would be happy: I don't get scanned or groped, they can verify that I'm not a danger to anyone and the line would actually move more quickly because those pat-downs take time. "
A TSA supervisor and San Diego Harbor Police asked Wolynak to put his clothes back on "so he could be properly patted down," says his attorney.
He refused. Harbor Police took Wolanyk away and have charged him with refusing to complete the security process at the airport and attempting to record the events on his iPhone, according to Davis.
"Harbor police also confiscated his iPhone and the video camera used by his companion, who was also charged with unlawful recording within the airport without permission," said Davis. "He was handcuffed and paraded through two airport terminals in his underwear to the Harbor Police office."
One Harbor Police officer confirmed that the events took place but several calls and e-mails to the police and the Port of San Diego yielded no one who could talk officially about events.
It was a week ago last Saturday that Tyner recorded his episode with TSA and posted the results to YouTube, turning him into something of a folk hero for some and a pop culture icon for the catch-phrase "If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested."
That apparently won't be happening for Wolanyk any time soon.
"Wolanyk's iPhone and his companion's camera have not been returned yet," said Davis. " We are working on getting the recordings as soon as possible for use in Wolanyk's defense." Davis says Wolynak is due to appear in court Jan. 7 on the misdemeanor charges.
"Wolanyk will be flying to the East Coast early next year and hopes that this situation will be resolved to the satisfaction of all parties by then," says Davis.
Davis has represented Wolanyk before in San Diego. Wolanyk successfully sued San Diego for false arrest after he was picked up in Mission Beach with an unloaded Glock 17 sticking out of the back of his shorts.
He was awarded $35,000. His attorney was Jason Davis.
