Man With 4th Amendment Written on Chest Sues Over Airport Arrest

A 21-year-old Virginia man who wrote an abbreviated version of the Fourth Amendment on his body and stripped to his shorts at an airport security screening area is demanding $250,000 in damages for being detained on a disorderly conduct charge.

My opinion is that more people should do this. I have to make a business trip next week, and I may just do this, since my wife won't be there to stop me. :)

There should be more people protesting the TSA and the violation of our 4th Amendment rights that they perform every day. As long as people keep quiet and keep flying, nothing will change.

US travel group urges overhaul to aviation screening

You may have seen this article too. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually suggest anything good, like changing the security procedures to increase real security while reducing our rights violations. Instead, they recommend creating a security hole by treating some people as special trusted people. They should tattoo "gov't stooge" on their forehead too, that would make it easier to get them in the right line.

security, civil rights
