BOSTON — Travelers at Logan Airport expecting a routine JetBlue boarding call instead got a front-row seat to Boston’s latest circus act — an out-of-control passenger who stripped naked and turned Terminal C into a freak show.

It began innocently enough: the man in red underwear stretching by the gate like he was limbering up for a workout. But then the warm-up routine spiraled. He muttered to himself, peeled off his clothes, and stood in the middle of the terminal fully nude before bending over and mooning horrified passengers.

State troopers were called in to shut down the X-rated sideshow, hustling him out after he scrambled back into his underwear. Boarding, understandably, was delayed.

From gateway to grotesque

Logan once symbolized order and efficiency. Now it’s the latest stage for Boston’s growing climate of chaos. Families bound for Florida didn’t get Mickey Mouse — they got “Logan After Dark.”

The only thing flying that afternoon wasn’t a JetBlue Airbus, but modesty itself. Moon over Massachusetts — but nobody asked for the view. Not exactly the upgrade travelers had in mind.

Disorder everywhere

Massachusetts law makes indecent exposure punishable by fines or even jail time. But the larger question lingers: if even Logan Airport can’t keep order, where in Boston can families feel safe?

From shootings in Mattapan to wild brawls on the MBTA, the city’s troubles have now spilled into the one place travelers thought they could count on — the airport.

Logan used to be a gateway to the world. Now, under Wu’s Boston, it’s just another backdrop for mayhem.
