Super, I agree with you here, but my question is - what should the TSA do then when they encounter say, a gun? Obviously the pax can't fly with it, but should they then not call the LEOs, since it's only an admin search?
Or what, to use a reducto ad absurdum example, a human head in a carry on? No LEOs? Where is the line drawn, on both sides of the question?
Don't want to hijack this thread too much, I'm just curious as to your take.
