Trouser-dropping tourist arrested

A German man has been arrested after he took off his trousers in the Philippines because he was annoyed by airport security.

Hans Jurgen Oskar von Naguschewski, 66, was arrested for lasciviousness, reports the BBC.

Von Naguschewski performed the impromptu strip after being asked to go through the X-ray machine twice at Manila airport.

Instead of boarding his flight to Frankfurt, he was detained by police and is due in court where he could face a sentence of between six months and six years in jail.

"He must have been annoyed that he was asked to walk through the X-ray twice so he took off his pants," airport security chief Angel Atutubo told local reporters.

Police Superintendent Atilano Morada said: "He actually didn't say much, unlike Filipino passengers who would talk a lot. "He was clearly irked and he showed it by disrobing."
