Choking Out The TSA

While I generally consider Jesse Ventura to be a bit ‘out there‘, he’s getting ready to give the TSA a flying elbow drop with his announcement on Monday 1/24/11 that he will sue the TSA for infringement on his/our 4th Amendment rights!

On January 5th, I myself was subjected to the invasive and unconstitutional infringement on my 4th Amendment rights by an agent of the Federal Government.  At the St. Louis Terminal (as in termination of rights), Michelle was waved through the Metal Detector, and I was pointed toward the AIT (Porno) Scanner.

The 4th Amendment to the Constitution expressly forbids the Federal Government from unreasonable search and seizure without warrant or affirmation of a crime.  My purchase of an Airline Ticket and appearance at the Airport in no way constitute the commission of a crime.  Yet, I was expected to stand naked in front of a Federal Agent for the purpose of searching my person.  No, I was not expected to remove my clothes, however, with technology, the Federal Agent would have been able to view me in an unclothed manner.

I opted out of the AIT  Scanner and was subjected to a humiliating hand pat-down which included being touched on my crotch and buttocks by the Federal Agent.

No accusation of a crime.  No evidence of malfeasance.  Nothing.  Just the desire to travel freely gives the Obama Administration and the TSA, in their estimation, the right to view or touch my private body parts.

Un-freakin-constitutional!

As for Jesse Ventura, I applaud you for taking the lead on this expansion of the Federal Government and invasion of our rights.
