>>Since travel is not one of the powers given to the Federal government, and since a state cannot itself travel, then travel is one of those rights reserved for the people.

You are under the sad impression that the Bill of Rights is an enumeration of rights. Read the Founders thoughts on the matter. Some didn’t want the BoR exactly for that reason; people would think of them as just that, a complete list of rights. So the 10th was put in there as a catch-all. If it isn’t a Fed power, or something a state can do, then it is reserved for the people.<<

There is no bigger supporter of the (almost dead) 9th and 10th Amendments than I. Almost everything the TOTUS-readers’s reichstag has implemented has been in violation of these — because they are NOT optional.

You have one basic flaw: Airlines are private enterprises and subject to regulation, both Federal and State (although States seem to be OK with the feds doing the heavy lifting).

It is as simple as that. You can’t say a private conveyance, nor its associated regulation milieu, is a Right.

The airlines aren't doing the searches of the passengers; nor have they made travel upon/in their method of conveyance contingent upon such searches. The government is the one doing the searches and making travel via air contingent upon said search.

So it isn't about the airline getting regulated. The people getting scanned and groped aren't part of any airline (excepting, of course, flight crew (who are now as irritated as the rest of us)).

So your idea that ‘its as simple as that’ doesn't work. Even the TSA idiot made it plain. “You gave up alot of rights when you bought the ticket”.

Unfortunately, the black-robed lawyers now called judge will agree with you. They have been working on destroying the Constitution for years. But why make it easy.

Its about time someone stood up and said in a firm voice “NO”.
