What does it say about the National Guard, however, that those professional, well-trained men and women are allowing themselves to be used as a goon squad by Deep State.

It says they follow orders.

Not exactly an effective defense, I grant you, Nuremberg proved that.... and to my mind, inspecting bags without a search warrant is somewhat iffy, but the same can be said about similar searches during air travel. I suppose it passes Constitutional muster because entering an airliner (or a subway train) is a choice. I'm far more troubled by warrantless Stop and Frisk. I'd hope that practice makes the SCOTUS and is declared unconstitutional.

You can shoot a lung right out, or a kidney or something like that with one of those. At least, so I’ve heard.
