Guy removes shoes at airport checkpoint — then proceeds to take off rest of clothes, get naked

When I was a kid, my mom used to tell me that no one will laugh at a girl who laughs at herself first (you can guess how popular I was in school). A seemingly frustrated air traveler in Russia took a similar approach, proving that you can't strip search someone who has stripped down already. The unidentified man has been seen (like, from head-to-toe with nothing but a censored blur in between) in video footage from Pulkovo Airport, which is just south of St. Petersburg, Russia.

In this security camera clip (which we really hope is real), the man can be seen approaching the metal detector and taking off his shoes, his bel—no, wait, he's just going to take his pants all the way off. While he does his one-man Full Monty, a group of five security guards stands on their side of the metal detector, shifting their weight back and forth, while he removes everything including his watch. The guy then strolls through the security check, grabs his stuff and probably heads somewhere to get dressed, which is why we never sit on those benches that airports place near the screening area.

Although this guy wasn't stopped or otherwise hassled by the staff (sources for the ever-reliable Daily Mail have suggested that he's an IT employee at the airport), we don't recommend trying this approach in the States — not even if you laugh at yourself first.
