Bikini girl alert! Theile tells us she's flying out of LAX today — with bikini on. Assignment editors, gas up those news vans and send your people to the airport ASAP. First posted at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Whenever a good-looking woman makes a stand for our constitutional rights, but especially when she does so wearing a small bikini, we're 100 percent there — dude.

And so it was with pride and patriotism that we wiped a tear from our eye and saluted Corrine Theile, a.k.a. bikini girl, who hit LAX on Thanksgiving weekend wearing a black two piece under her coat to make a statement to the TSA that said: If you want a gander at this body, it'll be on my terms.

Amen. We like those terms.

And so Theile became a viral video star for her half-nude twirl through the metal detector to bring attention the TSA's out-of-control security measures that include full-Monty pat-downs and x-ray scans.

Bravo, Theile. We honor you with the No. 3 spot on our “Top Ten Hot Chicks In The News 2010” list. We hope you keep up your protests.
