Next time the TSO's will be coached better and will make the search seem necessary-- maybe for the next suppression hearing, they'll have Carla Martin consult with TSO's. Or Ron could do it.

I have no proof but I think that TSA has encouraged its screeners to go well beyond a normal administrative search.
There have been just to many comments from to many TSO's to not reach that conclusion. How many of these people all said that having $10,000 was illegal. Even the security expert TSORon made that claim as well as Kelly and others saying the same thing. They all crabbed when shown the truth but they did say it.
No, I think TSA unwritten policy of abuse of administrative searches goes well up the food chain.

As those that engage in such activity, they are promoted. And as they become promoted, it becomes the rule everywhere.
