Well, maybe. Nowhere does it clarify how many times a passenger may be searched and you or I can read that at just once or as many times as they like, depending upon which you prefer.

Like so many things about the TSA (possibly everything) it needs to be argued in a court. Unless it already has been and I missed it.
