Here is a question, is the TSA legal under the fourth amendment to the constitution? I'm not certain it is. To quote Ben Franklin "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." The fourth amendment states "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." It is my belief that the TSA executes searches that are unreasonable and hence contrary to the fourth amendment.
