If they do not, how can any rational court convict someone for a law that cannot be defined or mentioned to the public?
You would be charged with the VERY broad crime of "interfering with screening process". when asked for specifics "sorry that's SSI". Sadly many courts would go along with that. Out of an abundance of caution mind you. Anything for safer skies!!
