It’s a cute stunt, but Constitutional case law does not find what the TSA does is a violation of the 4th Amendment. There is no presumption of privacy in the situation and a large presumption of public security - like police road stops to check for drunk drivers. Now if an executive agency wanted to do what the TSA does, to see in and through your house and its contents, and do so without a warrant, THAT would likely violate the 4th amendment.

Ah, yes, ‘case law’: says 2nd A. ‘license’ isn’t an infringement, stop-n-frisk isn’t anti-4th, growing your own food IS interstate commerce, 16th isn’t slavery...

And the wheels of the whole 3-ring circus bus go round and round, as if nothing were at issue. They get their bennies and pay regardless, damn everything else. Like pro-wrestling, they all gather behind the curtain, patting each other on the back for ‘work well done’, winks and nods.

Your presumption of ‘likely’ violation is naive, if not dangerous, vs. track-record of abuses from ALL forms of govt. We’ve gone from Republic to Democracy to (judicial) Oligarchy quite quickly.
