Strawman.
Show me a case that holds that the name game violates the 4th Amendment. Just one will do.
Still a strawman.
In what respect? I asked you, specifically, to explain HOW the name game violates the Constitution.
Again, strawman.
And, not surprisingly, your link to the ACLU says absolutely nothing about the name game.
Absolutist position
and another strawman. You're on a roll today.
You can disagree, but you're simply wrong. I asked you for facts. You provided none. If you want to compare the basis for opinion, I'm happy to: I'm a licensed attorney who has practiced for 21 years. How 'bout you?
Law degree in NZ. Masters in the UK. Admitted to practice in the High Court in NZ and the UK, although I do neither these days. Have argued cases in both countries and supported cases in the EU. These days I do corporate & immigration law from the US, so, yes, I am somewhat familiar with this particular subject in a professional sense. Can't say I felt a need to "whip it out" like you did, nor am I impressed at the size of yours.
You didn't actually present any facts. You presented an opinion. & then got pissy when someone dared challenge you on it by expressing a contrary opinion. But hey, it's all yours: enjoy your internet rage.
I guess you're not a computer programmer or an engineer. Just very, very young. You don't get to come into a thread, attack my positions backed with absolutely nothing but your own uninformed opinion and, then, when you challenged to support it, run away with the Internet equivalent of "neener neener." This isn't about who lost, who was wrong.
No, this was a discussion about opinions. You expressed yours (& equally failed to provide any "facts" (important to you, apparently, but not me given we're on a random web board expressing opinions, not providing legal advice)) and then got pissy when someone expressed a contrary opinion on certain aspects of what you said. In so far as the "they can do anything they please & you should say thank you" routine goes, if that was a "factual" statement from you then you're quiet simply wrong. CBP can't do as they please (regardless of citizenship) and TSA (for the umpteenth time) has no powers to do anything beyond an administrative search. Now, the reality of the practice - I've mentioned that in another post and as I said there, it's up to the individual how/when they choose to fight their battles. If you want to present
facts about those statements I've been repeating that show I'm wrong then we're all still waiting. Time you put up, lawyerboy.
Seriously, you need to relax more. Being that angry can't be good for you.
