If anyone is setting up an ambush, it's TSA - especially when it's punishing people for opting out.
You can't control the "noise" around you in a given situation. Some of it may even annoy you. That doesn't mean you have to pay attention to it. My kid's very good at pretending not to hear when I yell at him (until he gets in trouble
). You're still free to carry on your conversation. Whether it's someone talking loudly, a jack hammer, or subway noise, you're still free to carry on.
Think about your complaints and apply them to what TSA does. How is it wrong when it's someone else doing it, but ok when TSA does?
Courts disagree with you concerning privacy and TSA. But I suspect that doesn't matter to you.
but I actually agree, to a very large extent we have no expectation of privacy while in public. I do not think the WBI is an invasion of privacy, but I suspect most here will disagree. I am sure, eventually, a court will decide.
