You need a license for a car. Driving is a privilege, not a right. Flying is the same way.

The TSA can not walk around the streets or go into people's houses and search or detain them. You are volunteering to use a mode of transportation that has now been deemed with reasonable evidence to require that passengers be checked before boarding.

If you don't want to be searched...don't fly. If you don't want to pay car insurance...don't drive.



Exactly.

Don't go over to someones house and expect to play by your rules. The airports have every right to secure themselves from rabid Congressmen.



If you want to eat at my restaurant then pay my $1000 security fee.
If you dont like it then macDs is down the road.
You'll feel much safer when all tue resthave implemented this.

If you want to shop a my mall you have to do it naked so we can prevent theft.
If you dont like it then find another mall.


Do any of yo understand what it means to have inalienable rights?
It means that no person, company or government agency has the power to make you give them up for any reason.



Wow....that's dumb.

Cintracts can't violate constitutional rights.

Ask tge chick who was locked in a box car and raped reoeatedly over several weeks while under contract with blackwatet in bagdad.
her contract didnt allow her to contact authorities.
Republicans sided wuth the company on that one too.
Fortunately there were more dems with common sense.

That's very true, your contract is "nothing more" than the agreement you have with the airliner. That agreement involves going through their security checkpoints.



If it were their security checkpoints, then they would be operated by their employees not government thugs

You try typing on this stupid little virtual keyboard and lets see how well you do.
I can't even see what I'm typing half the time because its under the keyboard or the scrolling screen is off center.

Both Paul’s spokeswoman and his father, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), had tweeted that the senator had been detained by TSA officers in Nashville, a characterization the TSA disputed.

“Probably a matter of semantics,” Paul said. “I was told not to leave a cubicle and when I did step outside the cubicle I was sort of surrounded and put back in the cubicle. Seems a little bit like I was being detained. But when they got tired of detaining me, they evicted me. And then I was told to leave. I think I would have been arrested had I not done what I was told,” Paul said.


Paul also said he didn’t understand why he went through a scanner once and set it off, then after his flight was rebooked, went through the same scanner, which did not go off. “I suspect that the scanner is randomly setting off an alarm that’s not a real alarm so you’re made to feel like you did something wrong and then you get the pat-down,” Paul said, adding that sometimes he is allowed to go through scanners again without being asked to submit to a pat-down. “Does the screener have the ability to push a button and randomly get someone to set off the screener?”

A TSA rep was not immediately available to comment on Paul’s question.

"Free speech doesnt cover libel or slander."


What does that have to do with my example? If a company genuinely serves a really bad product are you saying you have a right to go into their building and tell the current customers to not buy their product and because you have a "right to free speech" you can not be detained and removed?

There are limits to all rights.

We have a set of checks and balances set up via the Constitution to make sure those limits are narrow and defined.
