Breast Exams At The Airport: Do The New Security Measures Go Too Far?

BREAST EXAMS AT THE AIRPORT: DO THE NEW SECURITY MEASURES GO TOO FAR?
FindLaw Columnist Sherri Colb

Rutgers law professor Sherry Colb discusses the privacy implications of
a new, intrusive kind of airport search that is aimed at discovering
non-metallic explosives carried upon passengers' persons. Colb notes
that a number of women have complained about the searches' involving
inappropriate touching. She argues that the searches are unjustified in
light of the fact that the intrusion is severe, and their effectiveness
in detecting the kind of explosives they are meant to uncover is
dubious.
