An Irish woman travelling through London Stanstead Airport was so frustrated with delays going through security she decided to take her clothes off.
Eimear Ni Ghiallgairrh was travelling to Barcelona for a job interview when she encountered delays when going through security. She arrived only 90 minutes before her flight was due to take off and became agitated after she stepped through the security scanner and was told she may be a security risk. Staff said they thought she may be concealing something so she decided to take off her skirt to prove she wasn't.
Staff were so annoyed that she was making such a scene that the police were called to arrest her. Eimear suffered a broken bone in her wrist during the arrest and was led away to a windowless room in a nearby police station.
