Airport X-Ray Art. Otherwise known as ‘F**king With The Man’

13. Oct, 2008 1 Comment

Evan Roth is a man with balls. Balls of such enormity they defy description. Similes escape when it comes to drawing comparisions to this man’s testicular fortitude. How else can you describe a man willing to mock the current climate of excessive yet ineffectual security measures at airports with specially hidden slogans designed to baffle the X-ray guards?

Roth has designed metal plates with a series of political messages that slip into a backpack or other hand luggage. Ranging from the innocuous and patriotic, an American flags to aggravating, a raised middle finger, and just plain loco, a cut out of cardboard cutter, the plates are a reaction to what Roth calls the ‘theater’ of security. Roth claims to have carried out this activity three times to date and documents some of his attempts on his site.
