Apparently you can't strip in airports
You're late for a flight. Your clothes are wet and filthy. You have a change of clothes with you in the airport. What do you do? If you said, "find the closest restroom and put on your fresh duds," then you are well on your way to staying out of jail in Salvador, Brazil.
It seems that two German tourists decided to just strip down and change their clothes in the middle of the Salvador airport. The two travelers said that they thought it "was normal" to change clothes like that in Brazil. Because it's always Carnaval in Brazil, even at the airports.
Surely they must have had a good reason for attempting to get out of their clothes so urgently. Well, "one of them got wet during a boat trip and the other felt sick and vomited during the same trip earlier in the day." Wait. He didn't think to change his clothes immediately after vomiting? Did he spend the rest of the day in the vomit-covered shirt and only think to change when he got to the airport? How chunky was the vomit?
They have been charged with obscenity and could face up to a year in prison, where stripping down will have even worse repercussions.
No word yet on whether they continued to wear their German uniform of wool socks with sandals.

It wouldn't be Obama's fault and cal10pilot, give women their privacy. They wouldn't want to be checked...especially by you.

Silly me, I said "buy me a sheep," what I meant to say was "buy me a EWE." [Wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea].

Adrien: I do know whats going on in the world, and in Lebanon to with the history of arms smuggling , bombing's and civil unrest. That in it's self tells it all. And for your information about the NY Times article, if it exist I would not believe a word of it. Years and years of negative history speaks for it's self!

pagan acts of the lebanese men with animals is so disgusting...how low can you go as a human...homosexuality is equal to beastiality, God warned His people not to do those things the cannanites did...for His people were chosen to be Holy...shame to those who do those terrible acts...

I bet those laws are really old ones that just never have been revised. There are all kinds of them like in ohio giving a blow job is illegal, california you aren't allowed to peal an orange in an hotel room and in texas it is illegal to wear a cowboy hat unless you own at least two cows. When I was in school I got a book filled with odd laws that have never been wiped from the books...

I think changing your underware is unnecessary. Why even bother to wear any. It is hard to strip when you are chasing small animals. by the time you get the underware off the animals have started without you and then what do you do? Go to Lebanon I guess
