Actually, the airport is a public place. TSA officials are government workers. There is no expectation of privacy by government workers or people in a public place.
Go ahead, the ACLU would love to charge TSA folks with violations of the Constitution. Try stealing a phone or video cam from a citizen and the TSA worker could be charged with theft--just as they should be charged with sex crimes for being pedophiles.
"Why do the rules exist? "I think this is all about security," said Ronald Powell, spokesman for the port district, which provides law enforcement services at the airport.
He said Sam Wolanyk, the man who stripped to his shorts, was handcuffed, driven to another terminal and taken to the Harbor Police substation at the airport. Authorities cited him with avoiding security screening, interfering with airport security and recording at the airport without permission.
His friend was cited with recording without permission and the airport confiscated her video camera. "This was strictly by the rules," Powell said.
But are the rules legal? Terry Francke, head of the Californians Aware watchdog organization, said it's doubtful that the recording regulation could survive a legal challenge."
Barack Obama obviously does not like the U.S. Constitution; he openly violates it so often. The good news is that his approval is now down to 39%--by the end of next year it should reach Arnold status--22%. Return the Constitution to the people and return the criminals to civilian life and out of government.
