Give a person with an axe to grind a little power; and this is what happens. There needs to be some checks and balances, so stupid dweebs like this 'airport security professional' are rewarded for good decisions, and held responsible for stupid ones.

I am sorry, but this was to be expected. The anti-terrorism excuse to violate people's rights will not stop here. Once you get law enforcement in the habit of ignoring due process, they will decide they like it and do it more and more. Sure, it is easier than actually having to make cases against individuals with actual evidence, but do we want that? We already have a huge error rate in criminal justice, even when we do have trials. What do you think the error rate will be if no trials (or trials without evidence) are needed?
