No — it violates no law.
Airlines are 100% private enterprises and subject to administration by the government.
There is no “rights issue” here, except for the usual “my RIGHTS are being violated” chattering class who don’t know what a “Right” is.
OTOH, the TSA may be extra-Constitutional and having different screening methods for different people may (do) IMHO) violate most Equal Rights laws.
Additionally, X-Raying constantly at the Government insistence is an example of a specific avoidable harm that may have significant legal repercussions.
The govt is doing the searching. It is a rights issue.
Whether the airlines are private or public, they are not involved. The government took over the job of providing them with security.
Doesn't mean the airlines couldn't supplement the government's efforts ~ which they do ~ but to get the government to do profiling is going to take some big changes in the laws in this country. Congress should no doubt begin that immediately.
What if the “reason” for searching EVERY car going down the road for clandestine Liquor is that over 1,000 people die from drunk driving every year.
Obviously it’s NOT reasonsable to stop every car.
Just because it’s flying and you may *feel* patriotic, is no reason to not defend our rights against unreasonable search.
WE lost a lot o rights when “fighting” the drug trade, let’s not loose the rest of them fighting the terrorists.
Let’s kick their ass so hard THEY are afraid to get on a plane and sneeze.
That;s the only way to be safe.
Same as in the old days when they wanted to hijack airlines — when they started shooting them they quit.
Sooner or later, you’ll realize you’re fighting the poor fight. We all are just waiting for you to fag out.
