You failed to address any of the statements that I made and instead tried to infer comments I did not make in an attempt to divert the question at hand. Either answer the fracking questions or butt the .... out.
To refresh your obfuscating personage, I will repeat the questions, slightly modified, here:
- If a passenger is selected for the "Alarm Resolution" version of the frisk, are they forced into a private inspection room by the TSA?
- If the passenger is forced into a private inspection room, is this handled directly by the TSA, or done under LE orders?
- In either case, where is the regulatory authority to take this search well beyond the administrative search boundaries?
Hey DD!
A resolution pat down HAS to be done in private. If the passenger does not wish to consent to this, OR they become something like uncooperative, they cannot proceed to get on the plane because screening has not been completed. I see your point about stretching the 4th amendment. I dont believe the words regulatory authority are good though because that is all TSA is. Should be "lawful authority." There was a news special on a couple of years ago that outlined the ambiguity of TSA and the fact that what we do is very loose in legal arenas. If you look at the act that created TSA you will see that there is no legal authority to tell someone that they cannot fly. What the law says is that the GSC will be called and told what the recommendation of TSA is. The law then states that the GSC cannot disregard the recommendation. This has however been changed in process and practice to be more of an "incomplete screening process" denial of admission to the boarding area. If a person cannot finish the process then the LEO comes in to escort the person from the checkpoint because the person has no reason to be there. I hope that clarifies it somewhat.
