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.

It's not indecent exposure, but that doesn't mean it can't violate other laws and therefore the TSA can still fine him.
What laws did he break, specifically? Even if he *did* break some law, getting naked should not be against the law. Neither should causing a "disruption" at an airport while protesting government thugs violating your constitutional rights.
The TSA has no grounds to fine anyone; it doesn't have any legitimate authority whatsoever. It sounds like this treacherous organization is trying to fine someone without due process to me.
