What happened the passenger that TSA is violated of 1st amendment constitution rights. When he went through TSA checkpoint, and TSA gave him a patdown. They touching him. It's unacceptable! He violated of his civil rights against TSA. After his judge is dropped all charges against him.
I suggest everyone read the link for the actual story.
- It has nothing to do with a touching him being unacceptable.
- Charges against him weren't dropped - prosecutors never pursued any case so there are no "all charges" to drop.
- The ruling is related to a freedom of speech suit he filed, and the judges merely refused to overturn a lower court ruling, allowing the case to proceed.
The TSA wanted to avoid the trial, claiming immunity. The panel disagreed and will allow the trial to be conducted. That's all.
