> "knowingly handing your vehicle to someone who acts as an agent of the government in performing a search" That's the part I really don't understand about this: [1] Is the TSA hiring and managing valet attendants now? Or do they have some authority to direct arbitrary airport staff to perform 'security' tasks? What are the odds these valet attendants receive any training in identifying potential explosive devices, let alone methodical search? And what's next? Are the janitors going to start poking through the trash bins looking for bombs as part of their regular duties? Are the curb-side check-in attendants going to start rifling through luggage? (those bags can linger at least as long as a car) And if not those things, why valet attendants? [1] That the TSA would seek to ratchet up their presence and staff in response to essentially arbitrary hypothetical threats is, sadly, unsurprising.
