So did the valet park between those two bearded Muslims driving taxi cabs to do the search?
They inspect the valet parked cars because they have a key.
Duh.
She’s from New York so there’s a 90% chance she voted for Obama, so tough luck lady. You are getting exactly what you voted for.
I don’t have a problem with them searching the car, but they should wash and wax it when they are done.
A free society is always vulnerable. Do we really want a security state?
Seems pretty silly to me. Anyone who is going to willingly hand their keys to a stranger to park their car and leave the keys with the stranger, isn’t likely to have an explosive planted in the car that they are so willingly giving a stranger full access to.
The TSA didn’t physically search it. They supposedly ordered the valet company to do it for them.
How can they ORDER anyone outside the confines of the turnstiles to boarding and beyond to do anything?
CCW here in Georgia applies and as long as you are in a public area not associated with TSA gate-keeping, you are allowed to carry.
Something just doesn’t sound right about this.
“John McCaffery, TSA, said, “No, those vehicles that are in the garage, short term long term parking, even if they carry pretty large amounts of explosives, they would not cause damage to the front of the airport. But for those who use the valet, the car could be there for a half hour or an hour so there is a vulnerability.”
There it is. We have gone from a system where they need probable cause to violate your right to privacy to a system where they can search because it is POSSIBLE that you might cause some damage. That covers just about EVERYTHING.
So what’s next? Arriving home after a long flight to see a note on your door from the TSA? “Hey, we just got done inspecting your house. Found the key on under the mat. Fed the cat and made ourselves some sandwiches. Thanks.”
The fascists in government salivated after 9/11. They saw a great opportunity to impose draconian laws on the public, and blame it on 9/11. Bull$h!t. They wanted those laws before 9/11. They just needed an excuse.
Could it be that the ‘valet’ has your key, and hands it over to the tsa nazi?
If there’s so much danger, then the ‘valet’ is in danger. Obviously, they don’t think there’s any danger for the ‘valet.’ It’s just to look for drugs, signs of firearms, or copies of the Limbaugh Letter.
Clear violation of the 4th and 5th Amendments, but they don’t care, and Congress doesn’t care either. The slide into tyranny continues.
The TSA says it’s alright for you to search your neighbor’s car...at night...when they’re asleep.
Just leave a notice hanging from the mirror.
Yes, because suicide bombers often utilize valet parking, because of it’s convenience.
And what happens if the valet driver had dropped his crack pipe in the car?
When will the TSA do house to house searches ?
We are evolving into a totalitarian state. I was recently in a catastrophic flood, and during the whole disaster, we kept looking at the rising water and saying, “No, the water can’t get any higher than this.” This news story is working on me in the same manner. Every time I see something like this, there’s a little part of me saying, “No, this is as bad as it’ll get.”
However, after watching my entire town get wrecked, I understanding that it can, indeed, get much worse. The interesting aspect is that unlike other cultures and countries, we’re slowly creating totalitarianism bit by bit, and even more weird, mostly volunteering for it.
God help us.
