Statement without having to say a word

A mettalic ink that displays messages on the scanner screens at aisport has been developed. The message was about US Constitution that protected American citizens against unreasonable searches. So whenever an airport  agent peeked at a traveller's privates, they would be confronted by the very law they were accused of violating. It was a way to make a statement... without saying a word.

It was an idea that needed the internet to spread fast, to thrust itself into the center of the debate. They leveraged social media, PR and used earned media to their advantage to spread the word.
