TSA did not have to ask this man to remove his shoes.
A naked, drunk man was arrested in Florida on Monday after he was caught casually walking through an airport terminal before attempting to go through security.
Martin Eftimov, 36, parked his car on the sidewalk at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), then entered the building and exposed himself, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Department.
Footage from inside the terminal showed Eftimov casually walking through the check-in lanes of Terminal 1 as passengers were turned away from the naked man.
Eftimov eventually made his way to the TSA security line at the airport, walking past several TSA agents and speaking incoherently.
The unclothed man rerouted from the inspection area and tried to open a door marked “Restricted Access” (video) Obtained with WSVN capture.
Eventually, he made his way through the screening area to the baggage check line, where he was met by a sheriff’s deputy and more TSA agents.
When law enforcement officers tried to subdue Eftimov, he allegedly began resisting arrest but was eventually taken into custody.

He was also charged with misdemeanor battery, disorderly conduct and disorderly intoxication.
He was booked into the Broward County Jail on $3,500 bail.
Eftimov was expelled from FLL for his nudity.
“I will not give Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport anything in return,” the judge told Eftimov in court Tuesday morning.
As well as being banned from the airport, Eftimov was ordered to undergo a mental health test and told not to consume alcohol or other drugs.

“Did they ask about the lack of tan lines? Flori, duh!!” one comment read.
“Did the metal detector go off?” asked another person.
Eftimov wasn’t the first person to show off more than the public wanted inside the Fort Lauderdale airport.
In September, a Reddit post showed a woman wearing an orange halter-neck dress waiting in line for a Spirit Airlines flight, seemingly unaware that the clothing was cutting into her exposed buttocks. It became a hot topic.
“This is the only shitty airport, Spirit Airlines,” a fellow passenger who was filming the woman was heard saying about the bizarre scene unfolding before her.
