So what if passengers were not able to see the man’s face, but they heard him say he had a bomb he was taking to the next stop, would it be okay for LE/HS to search passengers upon deboarding?
What if a passenger called the police and said he was carrying a geiger counter for a research assignment and it went off while he was walking down the aisle of the train? Would it be okay to search the deboarding passengers then?
Which pretty much answers the question to the whole problem. How many nine year old white boys are running around with terrorist bombs or have ever been associated with terrorist bombs on public transportation?
How about white women; eldery American women and men... We have politically correct security which is no securty at all because while the bimbos are molesting the nine year old American child, they ignoring foreign MEN within the age range of terrorists who are walking by unmolested. I have seen this happen at airports! It freaking mental. And dangerous. And insulting.
He takes the highly abnormal and calls it normal.
He takes the perverted process and calls it what is most rational.
He takes our rights to personal dignity and respect from those acting upon our behalf in positions of safeguarding and makes it null.
To him this modern artifice of a term “law enforcement” comes first in all rights, and before “law enforcement” the rights of a person are only that which “law enforcement” dictates.
Sir Robert Peel, the founder of modern urban police forces, would be ashamed to see what is called this “law enforcement”. Why?
At least three of his nine principles are wholly ignored and abused by these TSA searches:
2. The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon the public approval of police actions.
3. Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observation of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public.
4. The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force.
Your answer completely misses the point of my posts.
I specifically said, several times, that I was not addressing the scope of the search or how it was conducted.
All I am addressing is the hysteria that a search was even done on deboarding passengers. That has nothing to do with whether or not a lawfully done search was conducted rightly or wrongly.
lawfully done = lawfully founded
How would you know whether the man hid the bomb on a child or a white woman?
What about the other example I gave where they know there may be a bomb on the train, but they have no idea if it’s on a passenger and, if so, who?
Believe me, I understand your frustration with TSA and each of the matters you have brought up.
However, again, that is something different from having a kneejerk reaction against all searches of deboarding passengers just because they are getting off a train instead of on.

Amerians have a civic relationship with law enforcement. They agree to protect the constitution and interact with us in the spirit of the constitution. In return, we agree to permit them the authority to enforce the law and we agree to protect and help them in that endeavor as best we can.
That is all going out the window now. It’s just more cultural cleansing. They have taken the position of a foreign occupying military force and we are becomming the resentful population they are squating upon.
It is a huge mistake. It is the road to hell and the good intentions, rationalizations and excuses don’t matter. They have no excuse and no right to violate the consitution and it’s spirit in the name of safety.
