Jesse Ventura is taking his case to the WCCO newsroom.

​Apparently Jesse Ventura hasn't quite gotten over his beef with the Transportation Security Administration.

Just last week, a judge tossed out Ventura's fourth amendment lawsuit against TSA, which alleged that pat-downs and body scans violated our constitutional rights.

Now he's invading the WCCO newsroom, lecturing reporters on the dangerous practices of TSA.

WCCO producer Greg Litman tweeted out a photo this afternoon of everyone's favorite former governor giving anchor Mark Rosen a lesson on civil liberties. Here's a screenshot:

Jesse Ventura has two plans which seem to conflict with each other.

​Jesse Ventura got his lawsuit against TSA pat-downs thrown out on jurisdictional grounds, and today Ventura held a press conference to vent his frustration with the  American legal system.

So, now, of course, the former governor wants to become a Mexican. Pretty obvious next step, right?

Or! Maybe he'll just become President (of the United States) -- we think? -- and then he'll just change the laws he doesn't like.

The presidential race, and the state of U.S.-Mexican relations, might be about to get a whole lot stranger.

Jesse Ventura probably considers this ruling part of a larger plan.

​Jesse Ventura pretty much lives his life like an action hero.

So, when Ventura's lawsuit against the Transportation Security Administration got thrown out yesterday, it was the real-life moment when the hero realizes no one believes him, and he's going to have to go it alone.

Unfortunately, the former pro wrestler/movie star/governor of this state wasn't on hand to give the dramatic speech that launches the second act.

But we can only assume Ventura's thoughts about the lawsuit, in which Ventura is suing to protect your crotch from nosy TSA staffers, would be even more extreme than what he said back in July, when he explained to a TSA attorney that America was "a fascist nation now."

Ventura seesm to be starring in a movie that happens to be his real life.

​Jesse Ventura's lawsuit against the Transportation Security Administration over airport pat-downs, which he refers to as "sexual assault," got underway Friday, but Ventura saved the drama for just after the first hearing ended.

Ventura says his titanium hip implant always sets off airport metal detectors, leading to a series of invasive pat-downs by TSA agents. His suit, which he brought in January, claims the procedure is a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights -- "against unreasonable searches and seizures" -- and on Friday, Ventura told the TSA attorney that the policy is un-American.

After the hearing adjourned, Ventura approached Tamara Ulrich as she prepared to leave the courtroom, according to the Pioneer Press.

"In a free country," Ventura said, "you should never feel comfortable being searched. This is not the country I was born in. We're a fascist nation now."

Jesse's running for something new: The border.

​After a rant about Americans being a bunch of lemmings for supporting corrupt Republicans and Democrats, Jesse Ventura, already Minnesota's most famous Baja resident, told the ladies of "The View" he's so fed up he wants to go native.

Jesse Ventura: Don't touch him there.

​Touch Jesse Ventura's junk and he's going to sue your ass for unreasonable search and seizure.

Our former governor filed the lawsuit today against the TSA, claiming its agents violated his rights during a November pat-down and full body scan search at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Ventura on TPT.

​Jesse Ventura is pissed off that Independence Party candidate Tom Horner barely attracted any votes on Election Day.

And when he was interviewed by TPT's Mary Lahammer about Democrat Mark Dayton preparing to take over the governor's office from Republican Tim Pawlenty, he lashed out at Minnesotans.

Ventura doesn't trust independents.

​After growling about the failure of Republicans and Democrats in the Legislature to deal with the state's budget woes, and calling for the abolition of all political parties, former Gov. Jesse Ventura went on record believing that, "All Minnesotans are liars."

Ouch. What about?

Jesse Ventura hangs with the mellow folk tonight.

​When we interviewed Jesse Ventura last year about his new show, "Conspiracy Theory," he certainly came off as a little paranoid.

But not in a Cheech and Chong, flush-the-goods-down-the-toilet way. If anything, Ventura could have used some mellowing out.

Maybe that's why he's up for a special High Times magazine Stony Award tonight in Los Angeles. More likely though, it's because of his longtime advocacy of legalizing marijuana.

Jesse Ventura has found a new conspiracy: He says Arlington National Cemetery won't let the military veteran have his picture taken beside the Eternal Flame at President John F. Kennedy's grave site, and he was prowling Capitol Hill the other day, complaining about it to anyone who would listen. Journalists from E.W. Scripps bumped into him, asked a few questions, and just let the tape roll:
