While most of the country has moved on from the pat-downs that TSA agents now perform at airports regularly, it really does remain an open topic. I ran across this article today which just raises more awkward questions that the TSA refuses to answer. At this point, air travel is one of those things that is becoming less and less of an optional mode of travel and more a primary mode, what with increased globalization and all. Violating Americans’ 4th amendment rights just because they have to travel long distances quickly strikes me as blatantly wrong. Why is nobody doing anything about this? At this point I would be hesitant to fly (even if I had somewhere to fly to) because I could not in good conscience allow my rights to be violated. I’m rather surprised that we’re not hearing more about it.
