The federal judiciary, not the Texas state legislature, is the body that has constitutional authority to pronounce on the constitutionality of federal law. And there really is no 4A issue, since no one is legally obligated to fly anywhere if they don’t want to deal with the TSA.

You do realize that the TSA isn't just for flying right? So that line of logic is a failure.

The TSA is now providing security for proms in NM. Is that constitutional?

The TSA is working on getting into AMTRAK and subway trains, too, though. It’s not just about flying.

So you are saying, stupidly I might add, that we are only protected by the 4th if we are legally obligated to do something? Are we legally obligated to live in a house? If not then the 4th doesn't apply to us according to your idiotic thinking.

We have the right to travel, therefore we have the right to do so without the feds searching us against our will. The 4th does apply and we need to clamp down hard on the feds. If we had some Republicans with ba**s they would defund the TSA.

So per your reasoning the only way that we can travel is by foot because the gov can control anything else with the TSA and always search us.
