Peter Fonda Strip-Searched and Secured at LAX

Sep 24, 2008 at 12:09pm

Easy Rider star Peter Fonda was flying out of LAX yesterday when he got the dreaded beckoning from airport security.

You know, when you have to stand in the special section away from the conveyor belt and X-ray machine and let them look through the clothes you’re wearing?

Even someone who has as much Hollywood stature as Fonda—famously known for his portrayal of hippie icon “Captain America” in Easy Rider—isn’t free from having to lose his belt and shoes and submit to a patdown.

Hopefully he was bright enough to leave the herbal refreshment at home, unlike another California dreamin’-type star who tried to beat the odds recently.
