The point was that it clearly explains the limits of the TSA's authority; you have to extrapolate those limits to other situations not on point.

I do to.

But If I deplore drugs, does that mean I should run around talking about how TSO's should search for drugs in passengers' bags?

It is all about the legal limits placed on the TSA; PTravel , a lawyer, seems to understand the law pretty well. You, not so much. That you quote random websites as legal authority is a clear indicatio of that.
