Aaron B. Tobey, Photo Richmond Internationa AirportAuthorities involved in the arrest of a protester who removed his shirt and pants at a security checkpoint at Richmond International Airport were doing their jobs and acted appropriately, a government attorney argued Wednesday in Richmond federal court.

Carlotta P. Wells, an attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice, argued in favor of a motion to dismiss Aaron B. Tobey’s lawsuit, which claims his constitutional rights were violated. Wells said Tobey had made his point by removing his shirt to display words from the Fourth Amendment written on his torso but went too far when he disobeyed a command to pass through a security scanner.

But Anand Agneshwar, an attorney representing Tobey in his lawsuit against airport and federal officials, said the 21-year-old Charlottesville man obeyed the commands of authorities. Agneshwar said it was the authorities who went too far by detaining Tobey for 90 minutes or longer with his hands cuffed behind his back.

“This was one long process to determine if this gentleman was a security risk,” Agneshwar told U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson.

  1. Get a tee shirt printed with the 4th Amendment printed on it front and back. I bet TSA will tell you to wear it inside-out because it may disrupt, distract, or offend someone.

  2. Do as You are Told, These are the Gods, We are all Serfs and Slaves… Get use to it… That’s from all the Years of Voting for Reagan, H.W. Bush, Clinton, W. Bush, Obama. Remember When they tell you Not to Waste your Vote if you want to Vote for a 3rd Party… Keep Shopping at Walmart and Giving the Banks your Money.. THe Complaining is So Pathetic.. THis is The Last Chance.. Get Off your Ass, Put Down the Beer, Turn of the NFL Football Game, Tell Your Family, Friends, Co-Workers, and Anyone Else about RON PAUL 2012!! DONATE MONEY to Ron Paul, Hand out Flyers, Knock On Doors, Get on Social Media, Make Phone Calls.. This is The Last Chance. Ronald Ernest Paul 2012!!!

  3. Buy and read the George Orwell book 1984 because the stuff that is mentioned in the book is happening now. Also buy and read the George Orwell book Animal Farm as well because they are both really good books. Sadly they don’t allow them to be read in schools anymore.

  4. Come on…how are they getting away with this crap at all!!

    • btw, that young man was brave and I appreciate what he did.

  5. You aint the BOSS of ME so FOAD.

  6. I have a pin on my hat that says:

    FUCK YOU
    YOU
    FUCKIN’
    FUCK

    BTW the corrupt police here in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada hate it and they are pissed off that they can’t take it away because the corrupt police know that they (Sarnia, Ontario, Canadian Police) would be in deep shit if they even tried by the people of Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. It’s pretty funny that they are so afraid of the people because the corrupt Sarnia, Ontario, Canadian Police.

    • Just a quick correction:

      • Some of the cops in Seraing, province of Liège, Belgium are the same.

        • Ben

          What do you mean?

  7. Real Patriots carry guns and say NO to Pigs

  8. Let me get this straight. Refusing illegal search and seizure make you a security risk? Presenting the 4 th amendment to the TSA thuggy drone piggies make you a security risk?

    You have the right to be pissed off Agneshwar.

    • Yes, that is correct. Next question?

  10. the justice dept is like tsa run by morons who dictate authority that is not theirs in the first placee

  11. Another recycled story presented as if it just happened……again? *sigh
    why can’t you at least post “update” and add the updated information?

    • It happens every day. If you can do better than do it and stop complaining.

  12. “disobeyed a command”

    • Carlotta P. Wells must be hung for treason. Tobey must be celebrated and emulated by today’s distracted youth.
