Just curious, what makes a former TSA executive an expert on Constitutional law?
Well then, the truth of the matter is that I won’t be flying.
“Nobody likes having their Fourth amendment violated going through a security line, but the truth of the matter is we’re going to have to do it.”
Not true. If you feel you absolutely MUST violate the constitution, then do it in a way that affects the fewest people:
PROFILE MUSLIMS, YOU EFFING MORONS!
The answer is here:

just so you are aware if you elderly and need a wheelcahir to get in and out the plane you can be refused. As a disabled veteran in a wheelcahir, I have been informed when making a reservation that I would not be able to fly without an attendant, and also I would be subject to body search. i would have to have someone assist me in and out of the wheelchair. Just be prepared this holiday season if your elderly mother or father generally flys alone, he or she can be denied the opportunity to fly. Welcome to Odumbo’s America. I am not pulling your leg, was making reservations to fly out of Green Bay’s Austin straubel airport to fly to Dallas/Ft. Worth International.
Paging John Semmens: this is BEGGING for a parody. There’s surely a huge laundry list of constitutional rights that the Obama administration is “reluctantly” prepared to sacrifice for our own good (the individual mandate comes to mind).
What an idiotic comment.
Why we, as a nation, put up with putting people such as this in positions of bureaucratic power is beyond me. We have no duty to forgo our god-given rights in the name of "security." I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said something to that effect.
The government has a right to take reasonable measures to keep us safe which do not impose upon our god-given rights. The government does not have a right to impose measures upon us which, we, the People, see as dangerous or unduly invasive.
We do not have a responsibility as Americans to sacrifice our fundamental dignity as human beings for the sake of safety. To be sure, while I believe that it is within the role of government to regulate the safety measures taken by private companies connected to air travel, the government has absolutely no right to push such regulation in the direction of abusive measures which demean both ourselves and our children, most especially when such measures are ineffectual at best.
We need more of a ruckus around this issue. Socialist travel policies should not be tolerated in this country.

What gives Mo McGowan the Constitutional authority to make that decision? When we get America back, these swine-headed usurpers need to live out their lives in prison, all of them.
I stopped flying a few years ago when this crap really began to become burdensome and offensive. The airlines, and TSA, can suck it as far as I am concerned. When more people do this, things will change.
P R O F I L E!!!!!
The TSA is Obama’s civilian army. Think about it. And he wants to unionize it.
I’d like to know what law Congress passed authorizing molestation by the TSA at US airports. When was it passed, and what BOZO signed it into law!
What if it moves?
There is one troubling method that avoids the type of detection now being employed. It is the surgical implanting of explosive materials that can be triggered to explode with inductive coupling. Standard X-ray scanning devices will fail to detect deep body cavity explosives and their electronic triggering mechanisms. All circuits and all wires can be hidden inside a body cavity to be triggered inductively by specially engineered devices that are inbedded in the circuits of commonly used devices. To detect such devices, one will have to do hospital type X-rays on every passenger. And that will be challenging because it would require an X-ray scrutiny of great detail to see wires and electronic circuits hidden inside bones and explosives made to look like body fat. The human body becomes the bomb strong enough to blow a hole through the pressurized cabin of an airplane. Because of the hazards of X-rays, such a procedure would not be good for the public health.
If I can think of a way to circumvent the nuisance procedures of airport workers, I can imagine what is being developed by those who want to take down the air transportation industry of the West.
That is why more advanced scanning devices need to be developed that detect the chemicals used in bombs or the materials used in circuits which trigger the bomb chemistry. Such devices would not image the private parts of the body. It would only be able to detect chemistry deep inside the body and display the chemistry being detected.
