No. Not without probable cause. Would you, in hindsight, seek to abridge every criminal's civil liberties for the purpose of catching them? Would you have kicked down Timothy McVeigh's door to his home without a warrant or probable cause? Shall we discard the Bill of Rights just because it gets in the way of fighting crime?

And by the way, you are not opposing the security procedures you are only whining about them. ( my original point ) You do exactly as instructed by TSA if they tell you to jump you do it.

The hell I do. I have corrected the TSA employees on some of their stupidity, summoning supervisors when necessary. I have ignored their instructions on occasion and have stood up for my civil liberties every time they have been trampled.

This tough rhetoric is only in theory, you are a fraud and a bag of hot air. If you had any principles at all, you would refuse to be screened, but instead you conform like a lemming in the herd. ( over the cliff you go )

I am forced to comply if I want to travel and I do need to travel by plane by for my job and for pleasure. That does not mean I roll over for the TSA, nor does it mean I do not contact the TSA hotline, the airline representatives, and my elected representatives.

You, on the other hand, are a true coward. You mindlessly obey every stupid directive without bothering to think for yourself whether it's right or wrong. You are incapable of thinking for yourself and you scorn others who can and do so. You're the kind of person who would injure another person just because someone in authority told you to do it. I've no respect for people like you and couldn't care less whether you consider me to be a "fraud" or "full of hot air".

Thank God our Founding Fathers weren't people like you. We'd still be living under English rule.
