Judge Reinhold arrested at Dallas airport for refusing a second TSA screening

Cory Doctorow 9:22 am Fri Dec 9, 2016

Actor Judge Reinhold was flying out of Dallas Love Field on Thursday and his bag set off an "alarm" on a TSA scanner, so security personnel demanded to pat Reinhold down; Reinhold objected that he'd already passed through the naked scanner and didn't believe he should have to get a government-mandated genital massage as well. Police were called and he was arrested.

Dallas attorney Steve Stodghill, who's representing the actor, said Reinhold successfully passed through the TSA scanner and was stopped only after his bag set off an alarm. Stodghill said that's when TSA agents asked to pat down Reinhold, who didn't understand why he needed to be searched after he'd gone through the scanner without incident.
