Are you opposed to airport screening of your luggage? After all, it is an invasion of your privacy.
Nope not at all… you see the thing that I understand is this… when I go to an airport and get on an Airplane I’m getting into a privately owned vehicle operated by a privately owned – at least in theory – company and thus must submit to their rules… — Side bar… that’s what makes smoking bans in bars and restaurants illegal – but I digress… What I can’t tolerate is wondering if the CIA is listening me talk to my Arab friend when he’s traveling in England… which is more than possible… not because he or are doing anything illegal…but rather because tracking the citizenry is the stepping stone to the police state
"Their rules" come from the federal government. An outfit called the TSA. For ex, it wasn't the airlines who recently decided to limit the size of articles you take on the plane. It was an edict imposed by the govt. Your luggage is screened to insure you are complying ... with the govt rules.
