Great of the ACLU to post the actual court orders and opinions that would otherwise locked behind a rent-seeking government contractors "portal". Here is why we can't have nice things: We caution, however, that the detention at the hands of these TSA Officials is at the outer boundary of the Fourth Amendment. Once TSA Officials were satisfied that George was not armed or carrying explosives, much of the concern that justified his detention dissipated. However, it did not totally vanish or suggest that further inquiry was not warranted. Suspicion remained, and that suspicion was objectively reasonable given the realities and perils of air passenger safety. The TSA Officials still were confronted with an individual who was carrying Arabic-English flashcards bearing such words as: “bomb,” “terrorist,” “to kill,” etc. In a world where air passenger safety must contend with such nuanced threats as attempts to convert underwear into bombs and shoes into incendiary devices, we think that the brief detention that followed the initial administrative search of George was reasonable.

It's basically pages upon pages of personal opinions and value judgements. At the end of the day, the law does nothing to protect you when the judge dealing with the government appeal is a right-wing nutjob that attaches no significance to constitutional freedoms.
