Tyner’s story began Saturday morning when he went to San Diego International Airport for a flight to South Dakota for a pheasant-hunting trip with his father-in-law, according to The San Diego-Union-Tribune. At first, he balked at submitting to a full-body scan, according to his blog and news reports. He told the newspaper he was surprised to learn the airport had the machines because the airport’s website said it did not. He opted for the metal detector and basic pat-down, but refused the latter after learning it involved a “groin check.”

“I looked him straight in the eye and said, “If you touch my junk, I’ll have you arrested,” he wrote on his blog.

John was later thrown out of the airport and now says he faces a $10,000 fine for leaving the security area.
