But since you brought it up, there probably would be a couple of differences with Air Inquest - assuming this guy's story is kosher. For one, his wife's bulging belly wouldn't have been on display for all to see, and for another, he wouldn't have been arrested for getting upset (kicked out of the airport, maybe, but not arrested). Overall, the air screeners would be more professional, without the smug federal-employee attitude that we've come to know and love. And if you call this toll-free number on your screen... umm, never mind. Just practicing.
Am I? Or am I discussing the consequences of the position you have taken? For example, what will you say to the banana-and-chimp wearer when he demands that your wife lift her shirt right there in the terminal? Will you claim that the 4'th Amendment restricts his actions also? Or will you simply leave and take advantage of the alternatives - alternatives which you already have?
