Knock, knock: Lawmaker wants to outlaw answering the door naked

ATLANTA - It may not pass the House, but Rep. Dorothy Pelote&#39;s latest proposal should at least win her the support of pizza delivery guys and door-to-door salesmen. <br> <br> The lawmaker who in the past has introduced legislation to require short fingernails for students and to stop grocery baggers from licking their fingers now wants to make it illegal to answer the door naked. <br> <br> ``The law allows (a person) to come to the door naked. It just doesn&#39;t let him go outside,&#39;&#39; said Pelote, D-Savannah. ``I don&#39;t even want him coming to the door naked.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Pelote made news last year during a special session of the Legislature, when she told House colleagues she had been visited by a spirit that she later identified as that of missing Washington intern Chandra Levy. <br> <br> Pelote&#39;s previous attempts to regulate personal habits have died in the legislative process, and she has not indicated when she might file the no-nudes bill. The 2002 legislative session began Monday. <br> <br> Debbie Seagraves, executive director of the Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the proposal would conflict with Georgia Supreme Court rulings upholding the right to privacy inside the home. <br> <br> ``There has to be a line where our privacy begins,&#39;&#39; she said. ``Traditionally, it&#39;s been the threshold.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Pelote, elected to the House 10 years ago, plans to leave office at the end of this year. <br> <br>
