IMO,
eyecue loses credibility when he claims the
Constitution doesn't apply in airports but cannot explain why.
In this case, he is explaining what TSA will do and that the worst of this behavior is about to go national. They CAN
FORCE the well-endowed to "separate" (females) or "lift" (males). They CAN
FORCE people remove articles of clothing that prevent them from inspecting. You may refuse, but they will immediate give you the DYW2FT line and, if that doesn't force you into compliance, they will retaliate, make threats,
get the LEO to make threats,
threaten to fine you,
add your personal information to a "secret" enemies list, etc., etc., etc. It boggles my mind to understand why 80% of the country is OK with this.
The TSA, in their over-abundance of caution/F the Constitution and people's rights/dignity approach, HAS ALREADY implemented a STRIP SEARCH and PROBE BODY CREVICES program. Given the recent events in MCO and LAS with random pat-downs for no reason at all, this behavior is clearly getting worse. Anyone that doesn't think full-body xrays, more-frequent strip searches, and cavity (as opposes to crevice) probing is the direction we are headed is naive.
There is one simple explanation to the more-aggressive and more-frequent groping. TSA knows the AIT isn't effective.
