I haven’t read or thought much about a constitutional “right to fly,” so I don’t have an opinion on it. My previous posts pertained to the 4th Amendment and what constitutes an unreasonable search.

The government COULD follow the 4th Amendment and still stop the terrorists. Special courts could be set up to quickly handle warrant requests based on probable cause. If the government had intelligence that specific passengers or flights were involved, a warrant could be issued. Since they wouldn’t be targeting the entire traveling public, they would be able to focus resources where they would be most effective. For some reason, government has decided to do illegal searches instead.

You can stomp your feet and throw a tantrum and claim that these searches are illegal all that you want, but it won’t change the reality that they are not.
