So you are saying the x-ray is worthless for finding WEI. Look at the court ruling again. It does not mention the operator at all it strictly mentions the technology.
You can toss in the other topic, this thread has made a huge departure from where I intended to go, but such is life.
Random screening of paxs has log been upheld by our courts as long as it is conducted in good faith, and as far as TSA is concerned, conducted to find prohibited items and WEIs.
Unless you can find a court case that says random screening under these conditions are not allowed?
Can you cite one that holds up random screening?
Edit: currently there is no part of the x-ray that assist the TSO in interperting an image. You might be thinking of baggage, as these machines DO help. But not at checkpoint.
Duly noted. Why can't you use the ones in baggage at the checkpoint?
