In 2012 John Brennan protested the TSA by stripping nude in an Oregon airport, his actions were ruled a fully legal protest under Oregon law. Despite that ruling, the TSA insists on fining him $500.

Brennan is appealing the fine to the 9th circuit court with the intent of putting the TSA's often extra-legal administrative decisions under constitutional scrutiny. It's going to cost him $15,000. So far he's raised $9,000 with 3 more days to go.
