What unalienable rights do people have at airports?

What unalienable rights do we have at airports that we can not exercise?

Seems to me you're shifting ground, initially implying that we didn't have inalienable rights at airports, and now suggesting that we don't have any that we can't exercise.

I clarified my question to you. Your judgement that I am actually shifting ground -- is your judgement.

BTW, your answer to my last question is empty.....

Actually, I didn't answer it at all, because your question kept changing.

As for rights denied at airports, there are three inalienable rights mentioned in the Declaration... Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness (these aren't the only ones, just the ones mentioned).

Inherent in the right to life is the right to self-defense... Hence the right to bear arms. We aren't allowed to bear arms on airplanes

Because we won't racial profile at airports, all of us who fly have our liberites infringed. Because we won't allow armed pilots (or passengers) our right to defend our lives is infringed.

Now, you might like flying this way, but I'll tell you what... If you offered identical flights at identical prices, one with the system now in place, and one with armed pilots and racial profiling, I think the latter would get more customers.

But we don't have the freedom to make that choice.
