I have taught ...You raise a very interesting point. I have taught the occasional criminal justice class, and have wondered where does the TSA gets any authority at all? Do TSA screeners have the right to make searches and seizures as per sworn officers? Are they sworn officers? Are they even trained in the basics of search and seizure? (They sure haven't been trained in the Fourth Amendment.) I've been through a couple of search and seizure courses, and from what I can see of the TSA screeners in action, am not exactly impressed by them. <br /><br />As for Obama, when he first came into office, I was willing to say, "Give the man a chance, he being an outsider to the Beltway." Well, he has had his chance, and he has hosed things up in this country where any rational citizen has to question the sanity of the government. When you consider there have been, what, zero Americans killed in terrorist attacks on airlines since 9/12, you have to wonder what is wrong with both Obama and his anti-terror crew. Of course, it just may be that he is too weak to control his own bureaucrats, which is even worse, when you think about it, than him being a penny ante despot.Eric_Bhttp://home.earthlink.net/~jamiranda/terminallystupidalgorithmtsa/id3.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
