It is how the current, misguided Supreme Court has unfortunately ruled. I definitely disagree with that decision and maintain that my civil liberties are being violated. There's a difference between doing something illegal and something that is legal but wrong. Spam is a great example of this. Racism and Slavery in America were legal for a long time. Was it right or wrong while it was legal?</font>
Of course it is your opinion that what the TSA is doing is wrong. It might not be the best way of doing things, but I don't think it is "wrong."

Comparing slavery and racism to the TSA procedures is a bit over the top, but I do see your analogy even though I happen to disagree with it. Something that is inconvienient and generally unpleasant is not necessarily "wrong." I feel it is wrong of the DMV to make me wait in line for 3-4 hours to get my DL renewed, but does that make it so?
