The case i was referencing wasnt about the check point, it was referencing your comments on the internet, and them threatening referenced or physical harm, and/or violating a persons rights. Comments like that could end you personally liable for those comments and possibly having to defend yourself in court against a lawsuit where the plaintiff could be seeking upwards of multi-million dollar judgements.
Suppressing the bill of rights at the CP is asking for trouble as well as its only going to take one incident to have a whole lot of TSOs and probably many at HQ in a world of hurt.
