Yes, you wouldn’t generally expect New Jersey to be in the forefront of individual rights. I agree with your conclusion.
If I were a state’s attorney general, I would glom on to suits like this ASAP. I think states miss out on wielding as much power as they can, by overlooking stuff like this.
The TSA needs some push-back, and I think this is a great way to do that.
I live in St. Louis. The City of St. Louis owns Lambert International Airport. The City and/or County of St. Louis should be responsible for the security of the airport. The county is responsible for the security of courthouses, and other county property. Same goes with the city. How or why is the Federal government even involved?
I know the answer to that. More unconstitutional knee-jerk legislation that was signed into law nearly a decade ago. DHS, and the TSA should have never came to fruition.
