I think a metal detector search of the person and X-ray of bags is reasonable in terms of an invasiveness of search which is no greater than required for the legitimate safety concern and proportionate to the risk.
I think the AIT machines are not reasonable (by nature of being more invasive than required), which is why I opt-out 100% of the time, much to the frustration of my wife when we’re traveling together, but I don’t care.
I think the TSA agrees the AIT is likely enough to be unreasonable to not want it tested in court, hence they allow opt-out.
- brightlancer 3y agoDoes the "opt-out" still involve a groping by a minimum wage fake LEO whose abuse is protected both by a union and federal law? I'm not concerned for myself, I'm concerned for _my kids_. As long as TSA agents are allowed to molest kids under the color of authority, then the "opt-out" is as much or more of a threat as the naked pictures they take in the AIT machines.
- sokoloff 3y agoYes for adults, but no on the kids. Kids (along with one parent per kid) are already directed through the metal detector line. I know that's not a great answer and I'm frustrated that AITs exist as a convenience and throughput increasing device, but it's also not "TSA is molesting kids who opt-out."
