TSA Office of Chief Counsel has concluded, in light of the
threat, that mandatory screening is acceptable
Office of Chief Counsel considered 4th amendment implications;
and
Office of Chief Counsel obtained an opinion from the
Department of Justice.
Implications of mandatory screening:
Passenger participation is estimated to be greatly reduced if
screening is NOT mandatory.
Availability of National Screening Force means staffing strength
sufficient to handle mandatory screening.
Procedures are in place to allow passengers to bypass screening if
screening would prevent passenger from catching train.
What a disgrace!
Screening passengers for a train is NOT acceptable!
