Who do you think should have the authority to limit the privilege to fly (domestically in the US, since you mention the Constitution) on a commercial airline? The airline? The TSA? The DHS? Courts? Law enforcement?
If any (other than the airline), what due process do you think should be necessary to restrict that privilege? Conviction by a jury? Warrant from a judge? Arbitrary government decision to put passenger on a secret no-fly blacklist?
