Be specific as to what about the TSA is offensive (legally speaking, that is) and what parts of the Constitution are affected.
Incidentally, this is a serious question in case there's any doubt.
Currently, the Constitution's interpretation unfortunately includes permissibility of "implied consent" searches and permits searches that would normally be forbidden to be conducted if "public safety" is the reason for the search.
I disagree mightily with both of these assertions. All searches should only be conducted with explicit consent and permission. And "public safety" be damned: the should never be such exceptions to the 4th Amendment.
