They're certainly not people to trust with security, and they will try to arrest you (illegally, as they're not cops), have you arrested, or threaten you with a massive fine. If any other perverts were molesting kids, they'd be shot dead on sight in a country full of guns. Why are all you "brave" Americans so scared of the TSA? Do what you need to do. And make sure everyone knows why you did it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313916164911265633.post-43222803379804741912011-12-27T05:48:35.385+07:002011-12-27T05:48:35.385+07:00My understanding is that the passenger may elect t...My understanding is that the passenger may elect to decline the search at any time subject to being denied boarding the flight.Timothy J Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634355920003282809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313916164911265633.post-88204573392787700112011-12-27T05:25:37.109+07:002011-12-27T05:25:37.109+07:00I'm interested in something of a gray area bet...I'm interested in something of a gray area between the allowance that "passengers may avoid the search by electing not to fly" and what a passenger understands as "no more extensive or intensive than necessary." What happens when a passenger begins the screening process with the understanding that a search will contain only "X" methods (for instance, metal detectors and wands), but then finds that he/she will be subjected to "Y" methods (like pat-downs and backscatter machines) instead of or in addition to "X." Is the passenger obligated to finish the screening process regardless of methods used? Once the process is begun, is there an opportunity to leave without legal repercussion? I'm rather confused by all this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
