"While TSA agents lack the authority to arrest or detain anyone, passengers cannot refuse screening once they have proceeded beyond the screening checkpoint entrance."
How does that work? You can't just waive your rights. I wonder what would happen if you said no. They may not let you on your flight but if you just landed and buying coffee there's noting they can do if you refuse.
- ctdonath 14y agoYou can't waive your rights, except for situations where they decide you can just by being there.
- wkdown 14y agoI think we should refuse to acknowledge their authority. Obviously, when REAL law enforcement comes, you recognize theirs. When the TSA tries to touch you, you press assault charges.
- genwin 14y agoThe law as I understand it is, the 4th Amendment doesn't apply at and beyond the security checkpoint. You could be arrested (by police) for saying no. And of course you'll end up on the no-fly list and have to move to another country if you want to fly again. Not that I'm supporting any of this.
- adrr 14y agoI hate that "no fly" list. Its a clear restriction on constitutional right on freedom of movement(article 4).
