TSA Pat-down Gone Wrong: The Airport Incident No One Will Forget​

A South Carolina man turned the security line into a spectacle—here’s what went down.​

The TSA checkpoint is a place where shoes come off, laptops come out, and passengers shuffle through body scanners with mild irritation. But for travelers at Indianapolis International Airport on July 15, 2023, the security line became an unhinged performance they never signed up for.

Enter George Stevens, 38, of South Carolina—just another passenger trying to get home. Or so it seemed. Things took a turn when Stevens triggered an alarm requiring additional screening of his chest, groin, and buttocks.

Standard procedure. No big deal. Until it was.

When a TSA officer began a routine pat-down, Stevens didn't just voice his displeasure—he declared it, calling the officer a “freak” four times. Most passengers might roll their eyes, endure the inconvenience, and move on. But not Stevens. As the situation escalated, a supervisor was called in to de-escalate.

That’s when the scene went from tense to bizarre.

The Strip Show No One Asked For

The supervisor quickly noticed something off about Stevens—an odor of alcohol, erratic behavior, and a refusal to comply with instructions. When asked to remove his belt while holding up his pants, Stevens instead chose a far more theatrical approach: dropping into a squat and shaking his buttocks at security staff.

Yes, you read that right. He did it once. And then again.

By now, the TSA had seen enough. Lanes 1 and 2 were shut down. Police were called. But before law enforcement could arrive, Stevens—clearly committed to his act—took things to the next level.

As officers approached, he declared, “What do you want to see?” and promptly yanked his jeans and underwear to his ankles, exposing himself to TSA staff and horrified passengers—including families with small children.

The Escalation

Airport police rushed in. But Stevens wasn’t done yet. In a move that defies all logic, he stripped completely, removed his underwear, and—brace yourself—shoved it into the TSA supervisor’s face.

Then, for good measure, he threw it at them.

At this point, Stevens was fully naked and advancing toward the TSA officers like some kind of airport cryptid.

Chaos erupted. Travelers gasped, parents shielded their children’s eyes, and TSA officers scrambled to regain control. The Indianapolis Airport Police Department officers, now on scene, wasted no time in subduing Stevens.

Despite his weak resistance, Stevens was swiftly taken into custody, his mid-air exhibition cut short by handcuffs. A federal court didn’t find his stunt amusing, sentencing him to 33 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.

Given his extensive criminal history—including domestic violence and firearms offenses—this was hardly his first run-in with the law. But this was certainly his most, let’s say, public offense.

Something I thought about today: There's a lot of Michigan fans in comment sections across the internets talking about how this year's title is BS because OSU needed a 12 team playoff to win it.

Thought that point was incredibly ironic, given that their 97 "title" would be non-existent in any playoff scenario. Nebraska would have beaten the breaks off of em. If they made it that far.

Literally OSU had the toughest road to a natty. They are full of shit. Scum psyops know no bounds.

Jim Harbaugh?

If Miami and free shoes manage to get out of the ACC, what do the Irish with a one football team conference?

Great to beat those pricks in OT!

Let‘s beat them again tomorrow.

5-2 bitches! Fuck ttun

Ohio State defensive star earns flowers from key College Football Playoff rival at 2025 NFL Combine​

The Ohio State Buckeyes continue to be a hot topic at the 2025 NFL Combine, and a good bit of the noise is coming from outside of the program. On Thursday, the best tight ends in the 2025 NFL Draft class hit the podium to answer questions.

Recent foes aren't always willing to be so kind to a team that beat them in the College Football Playoff, but Texas' Gunnar Helm was willing to pull the curtain back on Ohio State. Helm was highly complimentary of the unit as a whole and safeties Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom.

Login to view embedded media
"First off, Ohio State's one of the best defenses I've ever played. Best players, best scheme, best team. Obviously, having those guys on the back end [Downs and Ransom] help get everybody organized and lined up...What Lathan can do, obviously in the run game, come up and fill, that stuck out to me when we were preparing for them. He wasn't afraid to hit anybody.

It's the same for Caleb Downs. We tried our best to prepare for that but in the end, I think we got a little out schemed and did what we could. But really a heck of a player in the back-end."

Downs and Ransom didn't grade their best against Texas by PFF, but Helm did properly cite their run defense as being a factor. They combined for five run stops and were constantly rotating around to confuse Texas' offense as well as they could.

Downs will enter 2026 as a top NFL Draft prospect, while Ransom is expecting to hear his name called within the first 125 picks or so.

It’s worth pointing out a couple of performances from the Buckeyes 89-78 win over a ranked Sparty team last night.

Jeloni Cambridge had a career high 33 points.

Ajae Petty had 23 points and 15 rebounds, going 11-for-11 from the field.

The team wrapped up an undefeated regular season at home (15-0).

Ohio State S Lathan Ransom’s admission tells why he and Caleb Downs were an elite duo with the Buckeyes​

Ohio State’s roster was loaded more than usual in 2024 due to the fact they were able to return a bunch of talent that could have decided to go to the NFL. Still, the biggest addition for the Buckeyes last offseason was via the transfer portal.

The Buckeyes landing S Caleb Downs after Nick Saban retired at Alabama was the perfect outcome for Ohio State. Downs was recruited hard by Ryan Day’s staff out of high school and the Buckeyes were able to land him the second go around.

Ohio State was able to return S Lathan Ransom for a fifth season and the two made up the best safety duo in college football this past season.

“That’s one of my closest friends. Somewhat that right when he came in we competed in everything we did,” Ransom told the media at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday. ”Whether it was watching film, getting extra work, doing extra DB drills. He’s a big playmaker and I’m excited to see him, the other safeties, and other DBs make plays this year.”

Downs put up a season of 82 tackles, and a pair of interceptions, and was an All-American in his first season with the Buckeyes. The star defender was really unleashed down the stretch run of the season and helped take the defense to a whole new level.

Ransom made 76 tackles, an interception, and three forced fumbles in his final season with Ohio State. Now, the talented safety should be an early Day 3 pick in April at least.

“I think that’s why we made a lot of plays, why me and Caleb were so successful because there was a lot on our plate,” Ransom explained. Coach G [Guerreri] and Coach Walton did everything they could to prepare us and allow us to go out there and play fast.”

This Ohio State football player is a breakout candidate on defense​

This Ohio State football player could be in a starting role next season and could break out.

The Ohio State football team will have a lot of new starters on the defensive side of the ball in 2025. The defense had one of the all-time runs in the College Football Playoff. Quite frankly, the Buckeyes wouldn't have beaten Texas without one of the all-time great goal-line stands.

Now, the Ohio State Buckeyes have to replace all of those great players on defense. In fact, they have to replace their entire defensive line. All of their starters from this past year will be in the NFL next season. That means that there will be four first-time starters up front.

One of those guys is a big-time breakout candidate for this defense. He is someone who seems to be in the right spot at the right time. This player is someone who has blocked punts for the Buckeyes, too. I am talking about defensive end Caden Curry.

Ohio State football player Caden Curry has a chance to be a breakout player this season

The Buckeyes are excited about what Curry can bring as a starter. This past season as a reserve, he had 22 tackles and 2.5 sacks. He also had a huge blocked punt against Purdue. Now that he will be given more snaps, he is someone who can have a bigger impact on the game.

Curry just always seems to be around the ball. He reminds me of Tyquan Lewis. Lewis was someone who was there to make big plays. Whether it was a big tackle, a sack, or a forced fumble, he was just around the ball enough to create chaos. Curry can be that player for the Buckeyes next year.

Ohio State is confident that Curry is ready for this new role. They like what he brings in terms of his motor. In addition to making plays, he never stops working. He's a good example to set for the rest of the defense next season. It wouldn't be surprising to see him have at least eight sacks next year.

Former Ohio State football player throws his support behind Larry Johnson​

As Larry Johnson contemplates his future, a former Buckeye has given him a comment of support.

There has been a lot of change to the Ohio State football team's coaching staff this year. They have had to replace several critical members of the staff after winning a national championship. Replacing an offensive coordinator, a defensive coordinator, and an offensive line coach is not easy.

While most of the dust has settled around the coaching staff, there is still one big issue that needs to be addressed. Defensive line coach Larry Johnson is still contemplating his future. There's a chance that he decides to retire before this season starts, but he hasn't decided yet.

With just a couple of weeks before Spring ball starts, Johnson needs to make a decision soon. He has been a really good coach for a long time. He got a comment of support from one of his former players who was at the NFL Combine on Wednesday.

Former Ohio State football player Jack Sawyer praises Larry Johnson

Former defensive end Jack Sawyer had only good things to say about Johnson while he was talking to the media at the NFL Combine. Sawyer and fellow DE J.T. Tuimoloau are the last two five-star recruits that Johnson has been able to land.

Login to view embedded media
Despite his age, Sawyer thinks that Johnson is still at the top of his game. It's hard to tell if that is true based on what happened this past season. It seemed once Jim Knowles finally was able to get the defensive line to do what he wanted instead of what Johnson wanted, that's when the defense became the elite unit they were supposed to be.

Sawyer came to Ohio State in part because of Johnson. He recruited him to Columbus and told him that he could develop him. While Sawyer didn't really start becoming a dominant force until last in his senior year, he eventually got there. Now, Sawyer could be a second-round pick.

5 Reasons Ohio State 2025 Won’t Fade Like Michigan 2024​

Ohio State’s 2024 National Championship win has fans buzzing, but will 2025 bring a Michigan-like drop-off? Here’s why the Buckeyes are poised to defy the odds and stay elite.

After Ohio State’s National Championship win in 2024, speculation is growing that the Buckeyes will stumble in 2025 as Michigan did this year. Michigan’s 2024 season was a wake-up call—winning a title in 2023 didn’t guarantee success the following year. But Ohio State isn’t Michigan. Here are five solid reasons why the Buckeyes are set to keep rolling in 2025, avoiding the Wolverines’ post-championship slump.

1. A Manageable Schedule​

2. Stronger Returning Production​

3. Recruiting That Reloads​

4. A Loaded Quarterback Room​

5. Ryan Day’s Steady Hand​

Better Know a Buckeye: Devin Sanchez Checks All the Boxes to Become a Standout Cornerback and Eventual Team Captain for Ohio State​

Immediate Impact​

While the departure of Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock opens two starting spots at cornerback for the Silver Bullets, Davison Igbinosun and Jermaine Mathews Jr. will likely take the top two spots on the cornerback depth chart entering the season. That said, even with returnees such as Lorenzo Styles Jr., Aaron Scott Jr. and Bryce West, Sanchez has the talent and tools to compete for playing time immediately. It also helps that he joined the team for the College Football Playoff run as an early enrollee, not only practicing with the Buckeyes but getting familiar with the college game, too.

Whether he's on the field or not, Sanchez will make an immediate impact for the Buckeyes because of the type of person and player he is, on and off the field.

“He fit the culture we’re looking for,” Walton told Eleven Warriors in the week leading up to the national championship game. “We have a great group of guys here and we try to bring guys in that already fit the mold of what we have established here. We saw that in him from day one, the way his parents raised him, the foundation he has for work ethic, honesty, talent and love for the game. Those things really fit what we’re looking for. And he’s about his business. He’ll be a great addition and fit in with the guys that we have here.”

Long-term Impact​

While a move to the slot as a freshman is possible with Igbinosun and Mathews leading the depth chart on the outside, Sanchez's future will be primarily played as an outside cornerback. His 6-foot-2 frame and length are ideal for a top-tier cornerback and Sanchez adds to his profile by displaying keen awareness in coverage and excellent closing speed, the attributes that help model a No. 1 cornerback.

The five-star prospect could thrive in any defensive scheme, but Sanchez has the physical traits necessary to be an elite man-to-man cornerback. He has exceptional anticipation when it comes to reading quarterbacks' eyes and wide receivers' routes.

Whether he receives a lot of snaps in year one or not, expect Sanchez to be a starting cornerback on the outside for Ohio State in 2026. Sanchez also seems likely to be a team captain by the time he leaves Columbus, and if things go as expcted, that will be paired with at least one season as an All-American before he takes his talents to the NFL.

“He’s Not to Be Messed With”: NFL Combine Defenders Who Played Ohio State Last Season Took Notice of Jeremiah Smith​

Omarr Norman-Lott couldn’t remember Jeremiah Smith’s name off the top of his head, but the former Tennessee defensive tackle certainly didn’t forget facing Ohio State’s star wide receiver in this past season’s College Football Playoff.

Asked Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine who stood out to him from the Buckeyes in Ohio State’s 42-17 win over Tennessee in December, Norman-Lott initially said his answer was “the whole team,” admitting that the Volunteers “got blown out the water.” But it was Smith, the then-freshman wideout who caught six passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Ohio State’s first-round CFP win, who impressed Norman-Lott most of all.

“He's not to be messed with … You're like rendered powerless,” Norman-Lott said with a laugh. “You're doing anything you can to stop him, but it's a man vs. man game sometimes, and that day he was the better man.”

Login to view embedded media
Norman-Lott was far from the only combine participant who went up against Smith last season and came away recognizing that Smith is a special player.

Iowa defensive back Sebastian Castro got a firsthand look at Smith’s ability in just his fifth game as a Buckeye as the freshman wide receiver caught four passes for 89 yards, including a one-handed catch for a 4-yard touchdown, which prompted Castro to give Smith props in the moment and is a play Castro still remembers more than four months later.

“He's definitely an exceptional athlete,” Castro said. “You can tell, one of the plays where they just threw it up to him in the back of the end zone, he had just stuck out his arm to create separation and caught the ball with one hand. He’s a really talented kid.”
