I do not know if the grounds of an airport are private property or public. I suppose if they are private, they could “refuse service” to anyone who didn’t submit to whatever hoops they wanted you to jump through, but I believe these searches are put into law from the public sector (Homeland Security).

I hope in Bush’s book it tells of him at the very least losing some sleep over the decision to create this agency and its priority of safety over freedom.
