To quote one US public law: “A citizen of the United States has a public right of transit through the navigable airspace.”

See 49 U.S.C. § 40103 : US Code - Section 40103: Sovereignty and use of airspace.

The Right of Travel is a long established common law right, one of the fundamental Natural Rights of Man.

Despite what any confused or uninformed media personality or blogger may say, your freedom to travel as an American citizen is a right, and in our time a right we must all re-assert boldly.

And the Rights of private property are equally codified by law. You do not have the right to use someone else’s airplane without their permission. An airline ticket is a private contract (first amendment - freedom of association) between two willing parties.

The TSA does not interfere with private air travel. I have used both and have not submitted to a TSA screening to travel via private aircraft.

What the TSA is doing is interfearing with the contract by saying essentially, that prior to a private party contracting for transportation with a public carrier, they must submit to a search without warrent. Blatenly unconstitutional on several grounds if you ask me.

Back when the ratification of the Constitution was being debated, one of the Federalists' objection to the 1st ten amendments, was that by listing them out in the Constitution, some day, the government (or others) might claim that because a natural right is not listed, it doesn't exist. As you can see from this thread, their warning as come to pass in spades. The other side of the coin, of course, was that the anti-federalists felt that without listing them at all, the government would some day claim they don't exist. You can just imagine how poorly our right to Keep and Bear Arms would stand today had the anti-federalists not ultimately carried the day on that particular point.
