49 U.S.C. § 40103 : US Code - Section 40103: Sovereignty and use of airspace

http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/49/VII/A/I/401/40103

(a) Sovereignty and Public Right of Transit. - (1) The United
States Government has exclusive sovereignty of airspace of the
United States.
(2) A citizen of the United States has a public right of transit
through the navigable airspace

******also, what is the difference between what they doing at the airports and this?

Carroll yourself. Among other things the court held:
[i]t would be intolerable and unreasonable if a prohibition agent were authorized to stop every automobile on the chance of finding liquor, and thus subject all persons lawfully using the highways to the inconvenience and indignity of such a search... . [T]hose lawfully within the country, entitled to use the public highways, have a right to free passage without interruption or search unless there is known to a competent official, authorized to search, probable cause for believing that their vehicles are carrying contraband or illegal merchandise

Yeah genius, that has already been posted once. I already pointed out that it defeats your statement. A statutory provision is not the same thing as a Constitutional right. Congress gives one the right to travel, subject to the numerous provisions in the United States Code. The existence of the latter automatically defeats your initial contention. You have a right to fly, subject to the regulations that Congress enacts, under the Constitutional authority granted by the Commerce Clause. If you don’t like it, change the Constitution.

Next time you cut & paste something from another rambling lunatic on a message board, at least attempt to conduct some real legal analysis on it.
