C'mon PT, you know anyone on the "other side" is facing an uphill battle on this forum.
I would add, as well, that with respect to constitutional jurisprudence, it is the rare non-lawyer who has any credibility and TSORon has proven the validity of this generalization.
I'm your Huckleberry. I'm not a lawyer but I feel I have a pretty good grasp of most Constitutional issues. I make mistakes, and will again, but I feel I understand most issues pretty well as a LEO, having had to defend my positions and actions several times, up to and including in federal court.
"How can TSA claim that commercial passenger planes are "secure" when each and every one of them in the U.S. has uninspected cargo and uninspected U.S. mail loaded into it?"
My answer: it can't.
It's secure with regards to hijacking (not airtight, but secure). Explosive detection is lacking, even more so with regards to cargo.
IMO we're about 60-70% there.......
