If Trump wanted to do just one useful thing, it would be an executive order curtailing the use of SSI, FOUO, SBU and everything else agencies have contrived to conceal information from the public. I would even provide Trump a draft of the new EO. Either it's classified or it isn't...

I was pulled from the TSA line last Friday for a random electronics check. That's a first for me. No search of anything on my person, rather the swab on my cellphone, computer and iPad.

Also, what is "your accessible property"? Does that mean your carry-on? What does TSA consider "non accessible property"?

It doesn't include paper (yet).
So if I miss a loose stick of gum and TSA sees it on the xray, will I be taken aside for a genital inspection?
Or are punitive genital rubs reserved for minors like the 12-year-old girl 'groomed' for leaving a juice box in her bag and a 12-year-old boy stroke repeatedly for forgetting to take out his tablet?

Many years ago, at a checkpoint far, far away I had TSA pull out my regional airports pilot guide (I have a multi-engine, commercial pilots license) and then "demand" why I had it and to see a pilots license. I could easily see things like this happen in this scenario. TSA sees flight manuals or FAA/pilot planning materials and start demanding other things like pilots licenses; ditto more freaking out over Arabic language dictionaries or reading material the TSA does not "understand".
