Travelers flying out of Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Thursday had to deal with a brief delay at security when a man stripped to his boxer-briefs in an apparent confrontation with TSA agents.

Our partners at NOLA.com report Angel DeLeon Oswaldo was detained after his behavior grew "erratic" in TSA line six.

The incident was caught on video and posted to social media.

In the video, DeLeon removes his shirt, puts it back on, then removes it again, along with his pants and socks as he bounces back and forth like a boxer in the ring.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office says deputies booked DeLeon for disturbing the peace.

Two security lines briefly closed while authorities dealt with the disturbance.
