“How about the TSA? The TSA has been violating the 4th Amendment since their inception and NO ONE has complained about it, we just meekly subject ourselves to whatever crap they make up so that we won’t miss our flight!”
Really? Care to back up your claim?
Certainly. The 4th Amendment provides protection from illegal search and seizure. In additiin, the SCOTUS has ruled that there must be probable cause for a law enforcement agency to conduct any search of yourself or your property.
So, since when did purchasing an airline ticket constitute probable cause? What crime has Mr. and Mrs. American flyer committed that allows them and their property to be searched and treated like criminal suspects prior to boarding an aircraft?
In addition, a lot of the stuff pulled by the TSA under the guise of "protection" is stuff they made up. I have taught classes at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in New Mexico and I can assure you that they make a lot of stuff up on the fly. They were not taught this stuff at the FLETC.
