As my friend once said, "You do need to check him from time to time for a pulse, don't you?"
Opposites attract, and all that.
My husband is also an attorney with 30 years experience and a background in constitutional law. He calls himself an old workhorse litigator, and one of a dying breed. These days, everyone likes to "settle" and litigators are becoming more and more rare.
When I rant about the unmitigated evils of the TSA, Mr. Husband says, "You are never going to find a court in this land that will agree with you that the TSA is conducting unlawful searches and/or violating 4th amendment rights. It's just never going to happen."
I hope and pray that he's wrong, but I fear he may be right.
Perhaps after a critical mass of free citizens are manually strip searched and/or have had their body cavities searched as a result of TSA chasing "alarms", then perhaps things will change for the better. The only question is how many more victims will the government create before the pendulum swings and swings hard enough against the TSA and those who support it.
As I understand it, they are given their floor space gratis.
The TSA underpaying in any form sounds like all the more reason for airports not to borrow more money to do build-outs that meet the ever growing space demands of the TSA.
Are they given electricity for free too?
