I think this is an excellent example of TSA stepping outside of the limited Administrative Search they are authorized to conduct which is limited to WEI.

TSA is acting outside of the law.

But that is nothing new is it?
In other words, you believe in the literal meaning of the word contraband? I will look for something that would substantiate this. If it's "contraband" per se, then there has to be a provision of Federal Law stating so.
