Homeland Security Says They Could Strip Search Every Airline Passenger If They Wanted To
from the what-fourth-amendment? dept
Michael Scott points us to Bob Barr highlighting how Homeland Security, in its defense of airport scanners and patdowns, has said that, if it chose to do so, it could strip search every airline passenger, without any 4th Amendment scrutiny. I guess it's only out of their own kindness that they've chosen not to do so. Of course, this raises some pretty key Constitutional questions. If the TSA can strip search anyone with no reason at all, then does the 4th Amendment really exist? Yes, courts have said that the basic scanning of airline passengers is Constitutional, but it does not appear to have set any real limits on that scanning. And that's part of the reason why security theater at the airports just keeps ratcheting up. But at some point, shouldn't we step back and ask if such a scenario, in which everyone who flies is first strip searched, could possibly match with what the framers of the Constitution meant when they said:The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.It's more than a bit troubling that we keep seeing more and more chipping away at the Constitution, as people (including judges and politicians) make excuses about how it's effectively "okay this time, because..." where the "because" can and will be stretched, twisted and distorted to the point that the original Constitutional keystones no longer really exist.

Because of the weaker level of the language, judges/politicians get to weasel out of it.
The constitution is like a dam holding a tide and now judges/politicians/government are punching holes everywhere with their assault rifle.
How long before the dam finally break and we are all swept away?

There are no exceptions to "thou shalt not kill." There are certainly those, whom you have mentioned, that have disobeyed that command. There are those who have used and abused the church to build false authority, and then oppressed others with that power. But they are no less subject to the commandments. It is not Christians or Jews that said "thou shalt not kill" in the Bible. It was God. Yes, the Israelites disobeyed. Yes, people still disobey. Some of the disobedient call themselves Christians or Jews. The disobedience and hypocrisy of people from that point forward just demostrates how distant we are from God.
If any Christian comes to you with an attitude of superiority, of "I am better because I am Christian," then they have entirely missed the point.

Airport searches and 4th Amendment.
Passengers agree to submit to a search of their person and property as part of the contract between the passenger and the airline. TSA is not a party to this contract.
No contract can lawfully require either party to engage in any unlawful activity (such as submitting to sexual contact and/or an act of public indecency) as a condition of the contract.
Nothing in the law or passengers contract of carriage grants TSA any authority to molest or irradiate passengers as a condition of flying on any commercial carrier, quite the contrary. Sexual assault is a crime in all 50 states, and the District of Columbia, as well as under federal law.
TSA employees have a right under federal and state law to refuse to break the law without fear of retaliation. Indeed, any TSA agent who is asked to perform a pat-down can file a sexual harassment action against his/her employer.
The 4th amendment is very clear and unambiguous. Equally clear is government's increasing tendency to ignore all ten amendments.

Re: Airport searches and 4th Amendment.
I thought the rationale is that it's reasonable because of the government's/public's interest in ensuring safe travel.

Re: Re:
My question is meant to differentiate this from strip searching outside your house, because there are a great many other constitutional and statutory rights that I would not be able to exercise without getting strip searched under that regime (e.g. freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, right to vote, right to get an abortion, etc., etc.).
(Such searches would also clearly be unconstitutional under existing Fourth Amendment law, but again, that's not my question.)

Re: Re:
Not really. The issue is that they claim they could require a strip search of anyone seeking to board a commercial plane, not that they claim they can strip search everyone anywhere (at least not yet).
In much the same way you consent to a police-administered sobriety test by the act of driving on a public roadway; you are, in effect, consenting to a search by passing through security at an airport. The ways and means of acceptable search that are used (and what methods should be acceptable, i.e. whether strip searching is OK) can and should be debated, but the fact remains that the choice to fly is giving consent to search you and your stuff.

It should be noted that the DHS is claiming that it could strip search everyone who flies, but not necessarily that it could strip search only some people. For border searches, to some extent it's the non-routineness of a search that triggers a requirement for reasonable suspicion.
(Perhaps a search that might be routine on the Mexican border could be non-routine and require reasonable suspicion on the Canadian border? I don't actually know examples of this, but it seems plausible.)

Mike, the legitimate government interest is the safety of air travel, the safety of it's citizens, and the maintaining of the capacity to safely and confidently fly aircraft and citizens from point to point (including all over the world).
The other option is anarchy, you know, anyone can get on the plane, they can carry anything, and most people end up not flying because it is too dangerous.
The only thing "unreasonable" here is people like you who keep harping on it. You would also likely be the first person bitching if you place got hijacked without security.

Re:

"the safety of it's citizens"
What we are protecting against here is such a small blip on the things people are in danger of as to not even provoke more than a very minimal response. We had this fixed with public awareness that hijacking was no longer a sit a wait situation and reinforced cockpit doors.
"maintaining of the capacity to safely and confidently fly aircraft and citizens from point to point (including all over the world"
The TSA procedures do not do this in the least bit. Once again even if they were effective (which they're not) that does not grant the government the ability to step beyond their constitutional bounds.

Nope, I have no horse in the race one way or the other. I just find it incredibly comical to see people spouting off about the various amendments without seeming to understand their actual application and the judgements that have happened over the last couple of hundred years that help define them.
Freedom in the abstract is an absolute thing. In the real world, freedom is tempered by balance between the rights of each individual towards each other, and also towards the state. If you think you have freedom, the sad truth is you do not.

When Montana removed speed limits from highways during the day, the average driving speed actually fell a few miles per hour. That would suggest that the lack of a speed limit made the road safer (based on the false notion that slower speeds mean safer roads).
In most jurisdictions, once you get your driver's license, it's yours for life (subject to whatever fees). If you don't get caught breaking a law, you never ever have to retest for your license. How is that keeping people safe?

I'd like to point out however that if you are going to make the rational risk assessment, then you do not have a winning argument. The number of terrorist attacks and the number of lives lost is minuscule compared to a host of other risks we face every day.
It's not logical when you consider the cost -- both in dollars, and also in lost civil liberties.
As was pointed out elsewhere in today's discussion, I don't want to be a victim of someone else's illogical fears.
As a taxpayer, I don't want the TSA to be adding billions annually to the federal deficit, and as a citizen, I don't want to be subjected to intrusive searches, and most importantly, I don't like the precedent that is being set, wherein the government thinks it is standard operating procedure to use intrusive searches on law-abiding citizens anytime there is a remote risk.
This precedent is dangerous because it delivers to the government precisely the powers needed to establish a totalitarian regime at some point in the future. I'm not way out there arguing that Obama is the next Stalin or Hitler.
I'm arguing that what is being done now will make it harder to resist should someone with those aspirations appear in the future.
To return to my first point in the post above -- what I said about dictators is exactly true. They have ALL insisted that what they were doing was essential to protect the safety of their country.
It is dangerous to unquestioningly accept that the government always knows best because the government is looking out for your own safety.
Our countries founding fathers had principles for a reason. The reason is that they were very familiar with the governmental abuses that had gone on in England and elsewhere in the 150 years the preceded the American Revolution. They were determined to create a system that would be resistant to the failures of the 17th century.
Let's not sacrifice those principles for a little better safety and short-term risk reduction.

No, you wouldn't. Despite what they tell you, safety isn't the concern at all with speed limits. It's all about revenue.

That's the point. Those judgements that have defined the 4th Amendment over several hundred years have not to date given the government the power to strip you down and probe you merely because you bought a plane ticket.

Yeah, it just ain't fair that the crack dealers don't get enough advance warning to properly flush the evidence and shoot back. How terrible. And it's such a crying the shame that the cops have the stones to actually outnumber and outgun the shitbags that are shooting back at them. You're right. We need to change the law to make it more of a fair fight.

Make sure you tell the airlines why you're not flying....

As far as the 4th amendment goes, well...it's been gone for a long time now. If you have something to hide, they will find it, and then they will find a way to legally acquire the information they already have so they can use it to prosecute.

Re: you people are ridiculous
However, your cries of 'if you have nothing to hide' fall on deaf ears. Why should I have anything to hide to want my privacy to remain intact? Why should I sacrifice my dignity for your all-important sense of safety?
Who's side am I on? I'm on my own damn side, and that of freedom. Not suppression, oppression, and your damned arrogance.

Give them what they give you!
During their pat downs and such let out as many farts as possible and do not try to hide it from them that your farting at them stick your butt out and proudly fart at them.
Bring along your own gloves and put them on before TSA inspections.
While they pat you down be sure to pat them down at the same time.
You have reasonable grounds to believe pat downs are legal in the airport so pat them down too.
Don't be shy about it their not so give them what they deserve.
Fight fire with fire, fight pat downs with pat downs and burritos!

Department Homeland Security and Police intend to use hundreds of new X-ray Back Scatter Vans and other scanners with long-distance capability to secretly scan and search lawful persons� bodies�when driving, walking and X-ray Citizens in their homes. DHS plans to mount X-ray scanners on buildings and utility poles to monitor groups of pedestrians. Citizens that drive or walk to work or lunch in monitored areas may be radiated several times a day.
There is nothing to stop government agencies and police repeatedly targeting (persons of interest) on the street and in their homes with X-ray scans that may cause cancer or induce other medical problems�including individuals afflicted by poor health. DHS new scanning will record eye and facial features of pedestrians, so subjects can be identified for covert X-ray scanning. Consequently some Americans may be X-ray scanned every time they set foot on the street.
How could anyone prove his or her cancer was caused by repeated government X-ray scans? Can you think of one U.S. Government agency you would trust to limit the number of times and duration secret Government scanners can penetrate a person�s body with X-ray radiation, when walking, driving; inside their home? Citizens driving or walking to work, that must pass DHS X-ray scanners on buildings and utility poles, could be exposed to radiation several times a day. The press recently reported that X-ray scanners now used at airports are 10-times greater that what U.S. Government told the American People.
Currently Citizens can purchase small sensitive radiation detectors on key chains that set off different sounding alarms for each radiation level detected. Key Chain radiation detectors sell for about $160.00 and some appear capable of detecting government X-ray scanners penetrating their home, or their body when walking or vehicle when driving. It should be expected more pedestrians might start carrying radiation key chain detectors to learn if X-ray scanners on buildings and utility poles are targeting their neighborhood, the streets they drive or walk. Radiated pedestrians and drivers should protest, especially if they are being hit everyday with X-ray scanners.
The U.S. can�t become a total Police State until the 4th Amendment is either terminated or so watered down it has no legal effect. That will be the result if government / police are allowed (without probable cause or warrants) to expose the public to covert X-ray scans and scans at airports; train and bus stops and other check points.
One can�t help wonder if today�s outspoken Americans that lawfully defend the Constitution, e.g., writers and bloggers will be deemed combatants by U.S. Government; constantly stopped, searched, and questioned by TSA and police; forced to endure no warrant searches of their car, body and forced cancer causing X-ray scans. The Nazi Military and Police repeatedly searched and delayed Citizens labeled politically undesirable boarding trains and buses and driving to work to cause targeted Citizens to lose their jobs. Citizens were placed on (Nazi do not hire lists) similar to the lists U.S. Homeland Security started in 2010.

Re: Total Recall Scanners are here
"Tatel and Judge Karen Henderson questioned whether the TSA would be within its authority to determine one day that the security threat required that all passengers be strip searched.
Brinkmann said TSA could make such a determination without public input, as it did with the body scanners. "

TSA are pedophiles
Argue over the legality of it ALL you want, don't mean a damn thing to me they are nothing but a bunch of professional pedophiles being paid to molest kids!
If anyone at the airport see's those TSA pedo's grabbing a child in the wrong way scream at the top of your lungs their PEDOPHILES and beat the crap out of him/her for it, and don't stop yelling PEDOPHILE while to beat the bastards!
Did TSA admit to x-ray cavity searches? then accuse them of child porn!

Their gonna do what their gonna do!
Their groping children and now their talking x-ray photos of kids cavity's that's all I need to know, and I would be justified in defending children from confessed pedo's it's not like the TSA is hiding their doings and their intentions!
To threaten me with arrest for making it known I would defend a child amounts to blackmailing me out of fear.
Good thing I don't fear pedophiles because that's what the TSA people are admitting to.
Defense of a child and justification is a good defense in any court!
If I see with my own eye any pedophile groping a child I will have authority of my own accord to defend that child!
