Australian Pilot Upsets US Airport Staff and Authorities

From the APnewsline:

NAKED AUSSIE PILOT CAUSES CHAOS

A 747 pilot for Australia's only airline was arrested on Thursday when he tried to pass through security at the Los Angles' LAX airport with no passport. The pilot, only identified as First Officer Wallace, said he usually kept his passport in his "Cowboy Boot" and that it must have fallen out doing his long flight from Sydney. To further aggravate the situation, while searching his pockets the pilot's pants fell down reveling no undergarments and leaving FO Wallace standing naked in front of hundreds of shocked passengers. Authorities were eventually able to local the pilot's passport and he was allowed to pass through customs. Company officials at Qantas Airline could not be reached for comment.
